Quotes About Eternity

Neither concepts nor mathematical formulae can explain the infinite.

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

You don't seek permanency where it cannot be found: in the world of form, of gain and loss, birth and death.

Forms are born and die, yet you are aware of the eternal underneath the forms. You know that "nothing real can be threatened."3

They are so consumed by time that they have forgotten eternity, which is their origin, their home, their destiny. Eternity is the living reality of who you are.

In the timeless realm where God dwells, which is also your home, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, are one, and the essence of everything that ever has been and ever will be is eternally present in an unmanifested state of oneness and perfection — totally beyond anything the human mind can ever imagine or comprehend.

Through the inner body, you are inseparably connected to this unmanifested One Life — birthless, deathless, eternally present. Through the inner body, you are forever one with God.
