Eternal Now means being in the Present Moment, free from any clingings to past and future, freed from time.

The Lord whom we seek is outside of time, having given time as a gift to those whom he now prepares for eternity. He dwells in the eternal now and invites us through prayer along a path to the fullness of life. That path passes through humility.
Preparing ourselves for the “possibility of a meeting” means learning to silence the clamor of the age, stop the ever accelerating pace of the futile quests that so often occupy our hearts, and live in the eternal now by surrendering ourselves - and even our best aspirations- to the One who created us –and now re-creates us- in His Son Jesus Christ. It is there, in the emptied place, in the stillness of the eternal now, where we prepare a room for the King of all hearts. And, in that encounter, we soon find the longing of our heart fulfilled. Grace does not come to order. Rather, it is freely given, lavished in fact, upon those who learn to live in God and live as though God lives in them.
The sayings of 'Eternal Now' exists in all kinds of religions and path, so I am giving you a Christian perspective as this is a Christian forum.

The Christian path is always through submission to God.
Although I am not a Christian, being a Buddhist we have a teaching on 'no-self', so we cannot be egotistic.
'An Eternal Now' is a truth. Christian's way to reach this is by submission. -
are you attaining "nirvana" for 'yourself'?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:I do not see myself as higher than anyone.

When one achieves Nirvana, there is no 'Self' at all. That is why Heart Sutra says, 'No Attainment'. No self to attain something.Originally posted by OrneryBoy:are you attaining "nirvana" for 'yourself'?
As a Mahayana Buddhist, one important practise is Compassion for everyone.
