We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time,
in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an
infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an
absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is
almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not
realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than
present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We
confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the
world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful
tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.
