It is not the present which is fleeting past us
with sickening speed. The present moment
is indeed eternal. It is our imperfect perception
that creates the horizontal succession in time.
Sequential duration is a consequence of the
single-track verbalization of our split-mind,
which does not grasp the outer world instan-
taneously but interprets it perversely by
extracting bits and pieces and calling them
things and events.
