Native People’s Paradigm of Place

A woman shares insights from native traditions near her mountain home, describing how native people lived in a ‘paradigm of place’ rather than time. She suggests that while modern approaches like Eckhart Tolle’s emphasise ‘being here now’ by trying to stop time, focusing on place naturally dissolves time. Rupert affirms the connection between time and space, explaining they are the same experience – ‘here’ mediated through perception and ‘now’ through thought. He notes that consciousness’s experience is eternal (out of time) and infinite (out of space), while the mind believes it travels through time and space. Our experience is always ‘now’ and always the placeless ‘here’ where consciousness abides.
