Just imagine if there was no beginning and no end. How would embracing this awareness change your life forever?

In the broad spectrum of reality there is "only the middle."
There is no beginning. There is no end.
Both the beginning and end are illusions or figments of the imagination;
To say, as does the opening words in the Bible, "In the beginning" is to indicate that there was no beginning.'
To say a certain event occurred in 1776 is to acknowledge that 1776 already existed when the event occurred.
The middle is characterized, indeed constituted, by timelessness.
Clock time and calendar time are not true time.
What couldn't or didn't happen in a thousand years can and happens in a day.
What time is it? The answer to that question is, it is now.
By focusing on the middle a person is able to abide in present reality and be passionate about life.
The creationist and evolutionist, like the end-timer and end-of-the-worlder, are jivers who know less than little about what they claim to speak about authoritatively.
To embrace only the middle is to accept one's God-given assignment to be a co-creator with God and an experiencer of life as living in process.
What about birth and death? the inquisitor muses.
Birth is not the beginning; nor death the end.
Both birth and death are process and transition. Nothing more or less.
Paddling your boat is being in the middle and in present reality.
What is the size or scope of the middle as compared with the illusionary beginning and the illusionary end? No comparison is possible because the former is reality and the latter are illusions.
The past is towards the illusionary beginning and the future is towards the illusionary end. The middle is far away from both the illusionary beginning and the illusionary end.
Only the middle. You are in it, that is, if you have not opted to embrace the illusionary beginning or illusionary end.
To reiterate, it is only the middle that affords a person with life that is lived passionately and in present reality.
