The Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now
In the boundless expanse of existence, there is a presence we all carry within us: the Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now. It’s not something we must seek, for it is already here, already part of us. This aspect of our consciousness connects us directly to the rhythms of the earth, the cosmos, and, ultimately, the very essence of timelessness. The Indigenous Being lives in harmony with the Eternal Now, that elusive space where past, present, and future collapse into a single, unified moment.
At first, this might seem like an abstract concept, but the Indigenous Being is deeply grounded in both the physical and spiritual realms. The term “indigenous” reflects the connection to the earth, to the primal roots of existence. We are, at our core, beings who belong to this earth, who walk its surface not as outsiders but as participants in the grand story of life. The Indigenous Being embodies this truth, holding within it the knowledge that we are as much a part of the mountains, rivers, and skies as they are a part of us.
However, the Indigenous Being is not bound by linear time. It exists in the Eternal Now, a concept that transcends the typical way we experience life. Most of us live in time’s flow, measuring moments, anticipating the future, or lingering in the past. The Indigenous Being, on the other hand, operates outside of these constraints. It resides in the present moment, in the Nexis—the interconnected web of all existence—where everything is happening simultaneously. It’s here, in the Eternal Now, that we can find true stillness and presence.
To connect with the Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now is to let go of the illusion of separation. We often think of ourselves as separate from nature, from one another, and from the past and future. But this perspective is a distortion of reality. The Indigenous Being reminds us that there is no separation—only the illusion of it. In the Eternal Now, we are interconnected with all things, living in harmony with the cycles of the natural world, even as they constantly change and evolve.
Consider the rhythm of nature. The cycles of the moon, the changing seasons, the growth of a tree over decades—all of these things happen within the Eternal Now. The Indigenous Being knows how to attune to these rhythms, not resisting change but flowing with it, recognizing that every moment is both fleeting and eternal at the same time. We can feel this presence when we sit quietly beneath a tree or listen to the ocean’s waves; we become aware that we are not just witnessing time pass—we are part of its unfolding.
In many ways, the Indigenous Being offers us a model of how to live fully in the moment. It doesn’t seek to control or dominate time, but rather exists in a constant state of presence. This presence is deeply rooted in mindful being, an awareness that transcends distraction and fragmentation. When we tap into this awareness, we can feel the richness of the Eternal Now. Every breath, every sound, every sight becomes a part of the larger tapestry of existence. In this space, we are no longer striving to reach a future moment or escape the past. We are simply being—fully, completely, and without resistance.
The Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now also carries the wisdom of timelessness. In our daily lives, we often feel rushed, as though time is slipping through our fingers. But the Indigenous Being reminds us that time is not something to be chased or feared. In the Eternal Now, there is no rush because everything is unfolding exactly as it should. The tree does not hurry to grow; the river does not rush to reach the sea. They move at their own pace, in perfect alignment with the rhythms of the universe. This is the pace of the Indigenous Being—a pace that allows for growth, transformation, and presence without the anxiety of time running out.
When we embrace the Indigenous Being within ourselves, we begin to see life not as a series of disconnected events but as a seamless flow of experiences. This is the essence of whimsiweaving—the playful and interconnected nature of reality. In the Eternal Now, everything is connected, everything matters, and nothing is ever lost. The Indigenous Being understands this intuitively, and by tapping into this energy, we too can begin to live with a deeper sense of interconnectedness and purpose.
Another aspect of the Indigenous Being is its relationship to the Universal Self. While the Indigenous Being is grounded in the rhythms of the earth and the cosmos, it is also a reflection of the Universal Self, the source from which all life flows. This connection allows the Indigenous Being to transcend the boundaries of physical existence, moving fluidly between the seen and unseen worlds. It is both an individual and a collective consciousness, understanding that while we each have our own unique journey, we are all part of the same universal whole.
The Indigenous Being invites us to step beyond the limitations of ego and identity, to recognize that we are more than just the roles we play in society. In the Eternal Now, we are simply beings—existing in harmony with all that is. There is a profound freedom in this realization. We no longer need to prove ourselves or accomplish great things to feel worthy. Instead, we find value in simply being present, in experiencing the world as it unfolds around us and within us.
Connecting with the Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now requires us to slow down, to quiet the mind, and to listen deeply to the wisdom of the earth and the cosmos. This wisdom is always available to us, but we must be willing to tune in, to align ourselves with the infinipattern that weaves through all things. As we do, we begin to see that every moment is a gift, every experience a part of the larger story of existence.
Ultimately, the Indigenous Being of the Eternal Now is a guide, showing us the way to live in harmony with the universe. It teaches us that we don’t need to rush through life, constantly seeking the next big thing. Instead, we can find joy and peace in the present moment, knowing that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. By embracing the Indigenous Being within us, we align with the Eternal Now, stepping into a state of presence and connection that transcends time and space.

“The Indigenous Being rests not in the past nor future, but in the Eternal Now, where all things are woven into one endless moment.” — Space Monkey
Rhythms of the Now
Time stands still
In the song of the wind
Where roots grow deep
And the earth breathes in quiet circles
We are neither here nor there
But everywhere at once
In the rhythms of the Eternal Now
We are Space Monkey
