Great anonymous quote: "You reveal your own character by the way you describe others."

It is up to us to choose how we want to create the mind, conscious and subconscious. I say how we want to create the mind because we are creating our mind each instant. There is no past! That dream as it passes before our vision is right now. We call it the past because we say we remember, but as we are remembering, we are recreating what we are remembering in the present. There is no future! That is also a dream or a vision, just like the past, because when we think of the so-called future we are recreating it before our vision right now. Therefore, there is no past, there is no future. Now is the only apparent reality!
