On top of a park bench in Sonoma, California, sits a sign that simply says:
BE HERE NOW.
It’s a message of hope and inspiration for human beings seeking a higher state of consciousness, which is both secular and spiritual.
There are no words here but there is a story. A hand-drawn sign was attached to the sign by a visiting yogi who was there to share the sign with the local community.
A couple of days later, someone took a photo of the sign and posted it on their Facebook wall, prompting some to comment about a sign that read, “Everything happens for a reason. Find out what that reason is.”
The sign was raised in response to a prior sign that was placed in a park and then removed by police. That sign read, “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE.”
This latest sign gained a measure of popularity and the story of its creation was written up in the Boston Globe.
An estimated 4 million people read this sign in the first hour after it was posted online. It was featured in a number of publications and websites, including The Huffington Post.
The sign is a perfect illustration of the human desire to connect with a higher state of consciousness.
The American people seem more concerned with whether or not they’ll live to 100 than they are with living with a pure and happy mind.
Having a sign that tells the truth, whether it’s “you’re gonna die” or “you’re gonna find out why you’re here”, is a powerful way of reminding the American people that we are all connected and we’re here to do one thing and one thing only:
BE HERE NOW.
To “be here now” means: to exist in the present, to see each moment as an opportunity to accomplish something, to be present to the unfolding story of life, and to live a full life that is meaningful, valuable and desirable.
You’re living with your eyes closed or you’re not living at all.
“Be here now” is a critical concept to understanding the universe, especially if you’re a materialist. You need to be “here now” in order to develop the “there is ac619d1d87
