The Lie We Live - Alan Watts on the Illusion of Time

https://youtu.be/ogLc7M9_hR8?si=17R-kkkut63V0rYw

°•
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 infintesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future °••

We have no present
(here and now).
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 °•☆
