“Basically, if the mind stays in the present, it's impossible to worry. Upon careful consideration, it becomes clear that human beings are capable of worrying only about an event that has already transpired or one that may take place in the future (although the occurrence might have just happened or may be about to happen in the next instant). The present moment contains no time or space for worry.” IfsMindHumansMayMomentsMightHappensNextHuman BeingsSpaceWorryClearMeditationImpossibleHappenedEventsCapableYogaCarefulInstantConsiderationPresent Moment Author:H.

“It struck me that the popularity of Christmas is a matter of web-like consciousness. Childhood conditions us to relax and expand at Christmas, to forget petty worries and irritations and think in terms of universal peace. And so Christmas is the nearest to mystical experience that most human beings ever approach, with its memories of Dickens and Irving's Bracebridge Hall.” ThinkingHumansMatterTermMemoriesHuman BeingsForgetConsciousnessWorryChildhoodConditionsApproachUniversalChristmasRelaxHallsPopularityMysticalPettyDickensIrritationMystical Experiences Author:Colin Wilson
