Past Lives Are Bubbles: You Are The Water

Knowing our past lifetimes is of negligible value. What is of real value is knowing the eternal space between them, which is the space between breaths, the space between this moment and the next. This space is the scintillating ocean of consciousness itself. Past lives are bubbles. You are the water.

Quantum science tells us that the particle is just an instantaneous wave of the omnipresent unmanifest field. The vacuum fluctuates into this finite particle, yet the field remains boundless and silent.

So, in the field of eternal awareness, let there be this momentary particle, "me." Whether we define it as a now, a breath, or a lifetime, does duration have any meaning compared to the Ever we are?

"For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by" (Psalm 90). "Man is like a breath, his days like a fleeting shadow" (Psalm 144).

Why cling to a lifetime, any more than we cling to a breath?

Past and future lives are whispers of foam on the surface of our eternal Being. More and more, let us sink into Being. Identify with the ocean itself, not what trembles, sighing and dissolving, on the waves. Then we can play.
