For over forty years Kurt Philip Behm has lived within the magic of the Perpetual Present. It has inspired all of his writing, and has allowed him to both see and write about the truth contained within every moment. Once acknowledging this truth within himself and accepting its presence, he started an inward journey that time, and its deceptive handmaidens, the past and future, would have only denied. His message is to live not only for today, but this very moment, knowing that this moment is all that we have, have had, or will ever have again. Living within the magic of its Perpetual Present will then free our souls, guiding us on a path toward becoming all that we were truly meant to be.
