All of life is largely related to the past and the future. The mind tends to dwell on the past and the future. Dreams, aspirations, or past events commonly take up space in our minds.

We relieve ourselves and increase our understanding when we also focus on the present.

In contrast with people and outsiders who always dwell on the past or the future, we Temple members must also be aware of the present time, the present moment, and the present era.

Only when the present is understood does the balance between the past and the future become established.

When one knows the power of Now, they will know the power of the Future and the influence of the Past. Just by knowing now, that will suffice.

You will be joyous if you focus on the present.
