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 a causative past and an absorbingly important future.

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.
