The Eternal-Now Walk

I like to share this exercise with you which always is a powerful experience to me. I call it 'Walking in the Now'. It is something that helps me loosing my self – or to use better words, it helps 'me' loosing my ego...
... it helps to find an answer on: "What am I?"

Go outside and start walking. Don't look back. Imagine your life being the road you go. The steps you made are your past, and the steps you're about to do, resemble your future.

Look on the ground before you and keep walking.

Now imagine that behind you, suddenly there is nothing. Just a void. Feel the nothingness behind you after each step. Feel that the past is not staying behind, there is no past behind you, instead, it is moving within YOU - you are carrying your past WITHIN yourself in the NOW.

Continue walking and keep that feeling.
At this point, I always feel light. As if the backpack of my past dropped into nothingness. My shoulders suddenly relax and I get very conscious of the Now. The ego's bonds to the past are loosened up.
At this point, with each step you are moving in the Now. Of course, time does still elapse, but remember, the feeling of passing time is still only WITHIN you.

Your ego might still talk into you that it has a past and also a future. Also it tells you that it has a body and that it wants to do something else. But you already know that whatever you are, there is no past outside of you.
If you go deep, you will find out that you are not your ego.

Now, raise your vision and look straight ahead and imagine another yourself walking ahead of you somewhere in the dis-tance.
Imagine this future 'you' and realize that this imagination of the future is ONLY Within yourself, just as the past is.

Do you see that you are not your body? Your body changes every day, year and decade.
Do you see that you are not your ego, it too, changes every day, year and decade.

At this point, while I'm walking in the Now, the meaning of time fades and I am not my self anymore.

Past and Future only exist in your ego.

I realize that there is something never-changing which I am and which is connecting my body, ego, past, present and future – making it a perfect illusion.
Awareness.
