I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.
I've been bothered about time generally and our tripartite division of time into past, present, and future. I think I know what the past is, and I think I know what future is, but I'm really not comfortable with the notion of present.
I don't believe there's anything in life you can't go back and fix. The ancient Vedas - the oldest Hindu philosophy - and modern science agree that time is an illusion. If that's true, there's no such thing as a past or a future - it's all one huge now. So what you fix now affects the past and the future.
Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.
The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.
We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.
