“We are cognizant of time, the sense that there is mutability. Time is change. It's the separation of eternity from itself. When eternity is separated from itself, we see it appear in different forms. Time is not a movement in space.

“Bad Gardens copy, good gardens create, great gardens transcend. What all great gardens have in common are their ability to pull the sensitive viewer out of him or herself and into the garden, so completely that the separate self-sense disappears entirely, and at least for a brief moment one is ushered into a nondual and timeless awareness. A great garden, in other words, is mystical no matter what its actual content.” SelfMatterMomentsSpiritReligionSpiritualityAbilityCommonAwarenessGardenNo Matter WhatDisappearSeparationSensitiveCopiesGardeningTimelessMysticalViewersBrief MomentsGreat Garden Author:Ken Wilber
