What is it like to live in the past, present and future all at once?

 Generally, you are less afraid than anyone around you. Why?

Because you recognize just how very temporary human bodies tend to be.

For example, watching so many people die in my church and all over the world in the news during the 1950s put me in a different way of looking at things than most people here in the U.S.

So, acceptance of just how temporary a single life is here on earth helped me get to this understanding.

Then I was able to see that selfish pursuits including most careers are more self serving than anything else and often create more suffering than you can presently imagine for the people who go in this direction in their lives.

So, at 15 because of this understanding I decided to make my career becoming enlightened. So, whatever career or work always came 2nd to this and then when I married and had a family my family came 2nd and my career came 3rd so my children could have a real future (not a fake one).

I have never regretted choosing to become enlightened in this lifetime. My understanding of things was helped a lot by reading "Autobiography of a Yogi" where Lahiri Mahasaya was married and had a family and worked for the railroad.

When I read this I was inspired because I wanted to have a family because I found in the 1950s adults very miserable and boring for the most part. So, raising children was always interesting and fun usually at least until kids are about 12 years old where they tell you to go "F--- yourself" as teenagers sometimes.

So, what is it like to see the past, present and future all at once?

Mostly I can experience this the easiest when in the wilderness with the least amount of focus.

However, once you learn to do this in the wilderness you can often do this literally anywhere in your life.

I learned about this the most from about 1973 to 1985 while I was living in Mt. Shasta during this time and after I bought land and built an A-Frame for my family to live in from 1980 to 1985 before we moved to Maui in 1989.

So, living in the past, present and future and the now is much superior to being freaked out and afraid all the time by the way.

Then in 1983 I did a native American Vision quest of no water and no food for 4 days or 96 hours.

After doing this I realized what a human being actually was more and a human is not at all what I had thought before which was good to know.

Humans like most beings in the universe are very paradoxical in that that aren't usually strong in the ways they think they are and they are also weak in ways they often don't understand. 

So, understanding this helps with one's spiritual, emotional, and physical and mental survival here on earth to actually realize what you actually are as a physical being here on earth and where you actually fit into the scheme of things here on earth.

It reminds me of a Dirty Harry Movie of Clint Eastwood's where he says to someone: "A Man's got to know his limitations!"

And I would say: "If you don't know your limitations then often you are soon dead."

So, what is the usefulness of living in the past, present and future and now all at once?

Often you watch everyone around you die because they just don't know what they really are as human beings sort of like babies who are just born haven't been enculturated to know what a culture is yet.

So, if you don't know who and what you are then often you are soon dead or worse.

So, "Every man and woman needs to know their limitations in order to stay alive another moment or day!"
