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 °•☆
