Crossing the River

Each book in the Ramtha's Fireside Collection revolves around one central topic. The topic of this book deals with the importance of living in the now and the fact that one won't be going spiritually anywhere fast without willingness to let go of the past and be fully present in the moment. The book deals with some truths that are presented at much greater length in A Course in Miracles - as the entire training manual from A Course in Miracles guides the person through the process of realizing that his mind is preoccupied with past thoughts, helping the person to let go of them and live fully in the present. Holding onto the past, emotionally, keeps the individual's energy locked in the past and prevents the individual from accomplishing effortlessly many wonderful things which the individual could accomplish in the present moment. A simple act of forgiveness and just letting go of whatever has happened in the past has helped numerous individuals experience instant healings. Any conflict that anyone can ever experience is based upon dragging something from the past into the present moment - upon comparing and judging, instead of just being fully present in the moment. By living in the present one moves into a timeless zone - his entire energy available to flow freely to create desired reality now, without any obstructions - affording the individual to experience in the outer world even instant manifestations. One moment you think a thought, the next moment it is manifested in your outer experience. That's why some people, like Jung, would say that you know you are moving forward along your spiritual path when you are experiencing increased number of synchronicities. Synchronicities are simply instant manifestation of one's thoughts which are possible because the individual has become a "clear" channel and is free of any obstructions and encumbrances from the past. There is yet another wonderful side-effect of being fully present in the moment - as anyone who has wholeheartedly worked with A Course in Miracles can attest to - you begin to feel more vibrantly alive than you ever felt before, you also begin to experience boundless joy, happiness and power.
