QUOTE : Live, you say, in the present;<br />Live only in the present.<br /><br />But I don’t want the present, I want reality;<br />I want things that exist, not time that measures them.<br /><br />What is the present?<br />It’s something relative to the past and the future.<br />It’s a thing that exists in virtue of other things existing.<br />I only want reality, things without the present.<br /><br />I don’t want to include time in my scheme.<br />I don’t want to think about things as present; I want to think of them as things.<br />I don’t want to separate them from themselves, treating them as present.<br /><br />I shouldn’t even treat them as real.<br />I should treat them as nothing.<br /><br />I should see them, only see them;<br />See them till I can’t think about them.<br /><br />See them without time, without space,<br />To see, dispensing with everything but what you see.<br />And this is the science of seeing, which isn’t a science.
