User:Nazar/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 Buddhism based philosophy (in particular Zen Buddhism), Shamanic practices, and other philosophical and spiritual directions, both ancient and contemporary.[1][2] [3][4][5][6][7]
Related terms used in various spiritual traditions and meditative practices include: restful alertness, total awareness, perception of "here and now", as well as others.
