(From Mandala Gardens, pages 47\u00e2\u20ac\u201d51)<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we are willing to free our intelligence<\/strong>
\nand refine our minds, our actions will become<\/strong>
\npure and free of mistakes. An intuitive sense of knowledge<\/strong>
\nbegins to emerge, a body of knowledge arises.<\/strong>
\nWe touch again the aliveness, wonder,<\/strong>
\nand simplicity of childhood:<\/strong>
\nWe find our way home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Space accommodates us,<\/strong>
\nand time can inspire us.<\/strong>
\nYet, we are bewildered<\/strong>
\nby the steady onrush of time,<\/strong>
\nthat causes us to feel helpless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We simply participate in the flow,<\/strong>
\ncarried along by the currents of time<\/strong>
\nunable to make an independent choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time seems<\/strong>
\nto be speeding up<\/strong>
\nrelentlessly,<\/strong>
\neach decade flying by<\/strong>
\nfaster than the last.<\/strong>
\nOur calendars are crammed full,<\/strong>
\nwith no time left.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time seems to be<\/strong>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153running out\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/strong>
\non human beings:<\/strong>
\nNo time for<\/strong>
\nbeauty or love,<\/strong>
\nno time for joy<\/strong>
\nor accomplishment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be satisfied and effective human beings,<\/strong>
\nwe need the knowledge that can command time.<\/strong>
\nWith intelligence we can open dimensions<\/strong>
\nIn what seems to be past, present, and future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The past must be connected<\/strong>
\n to the present and the<\/strong>
\npresent to the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So the essential quality of<\/strong>
\nTime is unity rather than<\/strong>
\nSeparation, wholeness<\/strong>
\nRather than partitions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there are no differences in<\/strong>
\nThe qualities of past, present,<\/strong>
\nAnd future, then time<\/strong>
\nDoes not really move from<\/strong>
\nPast to future\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit does not<\/strong>
\nIntrinsically possess<\/strong>
\nMomentum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our reality can open to a realm where time, space, and<\/strong>
\nKnowledge are undivided, without beginning or end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Awareness can become familiar with this unity,<\/strong>
\nAnd contact time and space directly. Then<\/strong>
\nWe begin to explore avenues towards<\/strong>
\nbeautiful new realms.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
