Description
When I saw this is now, it immediately becomes then. There is no now. It appears to us as a moment, but the moment itself is an illusion. We are always on its edge. And the illusions are a series of about to be's and have been's. We put them together and behind the event. It is a construction - a trick, an invention of our mind. Its familiarity makes it invisible. Our lives are real dreams. And when we die and wake up, we shall see it has always been one moment, all at once, now.
