When the time is right ...

On the weekend past, someone said to me when I offered to spend some time with them, "When the time is right". Looking at this further, I inquire to when the time is ever right? What does, 'when the time is right' imply? What is the effect that causes someone to say something like that. Fear? When we live in thought, which is living in time, we are living in fear, do we not? I have been afraid of something and I remember that fear. That fear from the past is still there and I will still be afraid tomorrow. I hope not to be afraid tomorrow, but if I don't do something drastic (such as escape) about it, I will be afraid tomorrow. So I live by time. I live in the past. And I escape those fears of the past. Which are all an illusion. Because those fears are simply recordings that my mind has stored in memory. They have to be illusions because they are not happening in the present moment. That which I am afraid of is not happening right now, right here, in this moment. In this moment, there is no fear. But it is a fear that I have from a long time ago. And it is also a fear that hasn't even manifested yet. A fear based on what may happen. A double illusion. So I try to avoid this fear by escaping it. Building a wall around myself. Barricading myself inside that wall. Can you see the ridiculousness in all of this? I am barricading myself within my own fears. I am trying to escape an illusion that I have constructed within the confines of my own mind. The causation of my fear is thought/time. Can you see this for yourself? Really experience this for yourself. If you choose to, do you see the senselessness of it all?
