mind cannot exist without past and future

mind is like a pendulum of a clock

it moves from one opposite to the other

from right to left, from left to right

stop it in the middle and the clock stops

mind moves between past and future

the clock of the mind

stop it in the middle and the clock stops

and the moment the mind is not there

you are not

then god is

then freedom is

then love is

then flowering is

then eternity is

there are many boundaries around us

we are the centre of many concentric circles

and we have to go beyond

all those concentric circles

only then can we find the centre

the most important concentric circles are four

the first is the world of objects

the majority of people

is concerned with the world of objects

money, power, prestige, respectability

they remain very peripheral

presidents, prime ministers

queens, rotarians, lions

you will find all Kinds of stupid people

hanging onto the very outermost circumference

and making much fuss about it

the second concentric circle is of the body

many live in the body, particularly women

man hangs onto the first more, the most peripheral

his concern is more about things, objects

far-away objects

what is happening in israel

and what is happening in korea

the woman is not so concerned

about korea and israel

she is most concerned about

the colour of her hair, her eyelashes

the proportion of her body

she looks at the male as being a little bit crazy

you are unnecessarily worried

about the stars and the speed of light

what have you to do with it

the real thing is the furniture

the curtains, the pillows

the kitchen, the bathroom

it looks more mundane to man

it looks more earthly

but in a way she is closer

but many men also remain there

they have to because their wives are there

their girlfriends are there

they cannot go to israel

they
