• To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be.

He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.

  Blaise Pascal
