' Timelessness '...

I am dead already.

Physical death will make no difference in my case.

I am timeless being.

I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past, or imagine the future.

Where there are no names and shapes, how can there be desires and fear?

With desirelessness comes timelessness.

I am safe, because what is not cannot touch what is.

You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger.

Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable and needs protection.

But not you.

Once you realize your own unassailable being, you will be at peace.
