Where are you?...

By Vichara


Of the time you spend in your head thinking, what is the percentage spent in a) the past, b) the present and c) the future? There is no wrong of right answer just take a moment to reflect of where our thoughts take us. Do we spend more of it thinking about things that have happened from the past that we cannot change? Do we spend time thinking about things that has not happened yet or do we spend time in this present moment and being with people and things that we love. Again no wrong or right answer but I would venture a guess that most of us are either in the past or the future. Where are you?

Did you know?
The word "arcanum" (pluralized as "arcana") came from Latin "arcanus," meaning "secret," and entered English as the Dark Ages gave way to the Renaissance. It was often used in reference to the mysteries of the physical and spiritual worlds, subjects of heavy scrutiny and rethinking at the time. Alchemists were commonly said to be pursuing the arcana of nature, and they sought elixirs for changing base metals into gold, prolonging life, and curing disease. The frequent association of the word with the alchemists' elixirs influenced the use of "arcanum" for "elixir."
