The seemingly everchanging now never changes, as the universe is timeless. What changes is what's revealed in the light spectrum and hidden in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum as the spectrum moves through space, not time. Through the light spectrum pinhole we see the now. The now never changes, only our perspectives of it change....

"Sat Sri Akal" is a common greeting in the Sikh community. Sat Sri Akal: "Truth is the Timeless One."   Truth is, like God, ineffable. We know Truth is present in the absence of what is not true (illusions). As all things are everchanging, our descriptions of things are illusions; things as when we experienced them, but not as they are now. More fundamentally, our perception of reality as separate things is an illusion. The now is the now, one ever-flowing thing. It cannot be described as descriptions create spaces separating things from their intrinsic oneness. Truth, God, is the absence of descriptions.   God is also the Timeless One. Time exists only in the now, where we've created time to slice and dice an otherwise overwhelming now. Before the now manifests, it is the void; a timeless realm of nothing but infinite possibilities. The void is God, the Timeless One.   Without space or time separating things, God is all there is.   Sat Sri Akal: I love and respect you as you are the manifestation of God.  ...

The universe is composed of stuff (tangible things like stars, planets, asteroids, dust and gas) and the space between stuff. The everchanging stuff is the now. Before and after the now is the timeless space between the stuff. Approximately 99.9999999999999% of the universe is space. Meditation takes us from the now and into space....

Enlightenment is not being one with everything or being in the now; but being oneness and timeless before, in and after the now (whatever that means)....

It's a fool's errand to try to know the universe by focusing on the infinite things it contains. Instead, focus on the space between your self and the things. When you no longer see the space, the self disappears and you are the universe....
