Eternal Now (New Age)
Eternal Now is a concept of time perception suggested by numerous proponents of New Age spirituality. Its characteristics vary
- from increased awareness of the present moment
- to a broader, more open and holistic perception of one's subjective past and potential variants of future.
The concept is consonant with and constitutes an integration and development of a number of approaches to spiritual alertness and totality of perception advocated by various forms of Buddhist philosophy (in particular Zen Buddhism)[citation needed], Shamanic practices, and other philosophical and spiritual directions, both ancient and contemporary.[1][2] [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Related terms used in various spiritual traditions and meditative practices include: restful alertness, total awareness, perception of here and now, as well as others.
