The photo above, incidentally, is very much like a place I visited during meditation.  The sun on the horizon was earth instead,  and I don't know what planet I was standing on.  A dirt path stretching  before me and a wooden split-rail fence stretched along side of the path.  I waited for someone--I don't know who.  

Later, sitting at my keyboard, my fingertips "warm" when I touch the keys and I assume that's a signal that my experience is meant to be shared.

The "Present Moment and the Universal Moment We exist and live our lives in "the Present Moment". This exact moment exists everywhere in the universe and it's the point where our actions take place. The Universal moment, shows itself in ancient starlight traveling since the beginning of the universe. This time exists forever. At this present moment, I construct words on a keyboard, my son works in another part of the city and my grandson plays video games at home. In China, at this exact moment, someone is having breakfast and in Hawaii,someone is tanning on the beach.

How far does the "Present Moment" reach? On Mars, at exactly this moment an asteroid may be crashing into the planet. At this exact moment, at the other end of the universe, some unknown creature may be wondering about life in the universe. The present moment is not about distance.

What does "the Present Moment" mean to us? This exact moment exists everywhere, no matter how far and no matter how close. Here's the amazing thing-we can travel in the present moment! The "present moment" is where we live our lives and it is our place of power.

I wonder about practical reality. During this present moment, I'm sitting at a computer keyboard. I'm in a room with windows and walls, books and a dog snoozing on the floor beside me.

At this moment, I'm focused on my own activities and my dog is focused on her nap. I can't help but wonder what my son, Steve, is doing right now. Pausing a moment, I focus my attention on Steve's activities. He would be at work, clearing his desk preparing to quit for the day. He'll close his office door in a moment and begin edging his way to his car.

In my mind's eye I visualize Steve's activities. Everything is alright and he'll be home in less than an hour.

Maybe I should check on "Little Patrick" while I'm focused. "Little Patrick" is home from school and playing video games in the den at his house. I visualize him with a couple of cookies on the table next to him.

Each of these events are occuring at the same moment that I am working at the computer and Maggie, my dog, is snoozing. They are all a part of the present moment.

The present moment that normally I focus on is very small context compared to the "present moment" that actually exists. Suppose that I visualize myself suspended in outer space somewhere in the cosmos and I look around. Each light is another world. Events taking place on each of those worlds are a part of the "present moment".

The further out I visualize, the larger my understanding of the "present moment" becomes. The distance between me and those other worlds may be 300 million light years, but their "present moment" is the same "present moment" as mine. I can use my "present moment" to peak into their "present moment".

Humans have understood this concept since ancient times, but not many of us knew that we used it on a daily basis. Practice strengthens our efficiency.

Then the government enters the picture. During the 1960's a university was studying the "new" concept "remote viewing" and our government got wind of it. They sent observers and eventually took over the experiments. Now they think they invented the process.

Initial university reports explain that the talent for traveling in the "present moment" is latent in all humans. Little do they know that its alive and active in all consciousness not just humans.

Universal Moments are best defined in our dreams. We meet our "Universal Self" in the place where we dream. Once we understand where to find it, we might flit in and out, meeting ourselves in the most interesting of events. True, I'm a sensitive. But all that means is that I absorb emotions and experiences from those around me. That's common to all of us. The same goes for traveling in the "present moment". Most of us block it, but I'm not good at blocking. Instead, I apply it to daily life.

I am a student of events. I examine reality. Even though I am often alone; I'm never lonely. I enjoy my thoughts and my experiences. I nurture and heal others when they allow it, but I'm most effective with no outside influences. I simply observe and wonder about what I see.
