Now

The present moment is the entryway to the realm of originating-existence, the liberation that lies beyond desire (kamadhatu) and beyond form (rupaadhatu). In this space, there is nothing to create ignorance, anger, or greed; nothing for any afflictive emotion to attach to, and so no afflictive emotions at all. When in the formless realm (arupadhatu) the mind dwells in mystic contemplation, and upon return to the realm of form it harvests the fruits of the five spiritual powers: faith, effort, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom. The formless realm cannot be accessed in the past or in the future, any more than you can walk through a door in the past or the future. Now is the only portal to the formless and the only means for cultivating more peace of mind.
