The source of Timeless Acts

    

What we do, how we do it, when we do it, the purpose for which we do it, and for whom we do it, are often products of thinking about and weighing several options and doing what we intend to do. 

However, in every case, though we may not recognize it as such, there is a moment of decision: to do or not to do. The decision itself is an act of will, an act of our will, which comes from our core self, from beyond our mind. Although it plays out in time and space, the decision is made in the realm of will, beyond time and space, and so it is timeless...

For our decision to act to be effective over time, it must come from our core, from who we are, from the center of our will. In the moment of making that decision, we bring the whole of ourselves to bear. The feeling is: I am doing this, I am fully aware of my action; it is not influenced by any emotional reaction or any subconscious influence of body, thought or personality. This is an act with my full consent, in my full consciousness, with my full participation in the act of deciding, it is for me a special moment, a timeless moment, one that I deliberately want to remember and follow through.

Like decisions, attention comes from the realm of will, beyond time and space, but manifesting in time and space. Attention is part of our will, part of who we really are. Where your attention is, is where you are. Directing our attention is an act of will. Paying attention or sustaining attention is an act of will, a timeless act.
