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. 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.
