QUOTE : What we see as death,<br />empty space, or nothingness is only the trough between the crests of this<br />endlessly waving ocean. It is all part of the illusion that there should<br />seem to be something to be gained in the future, and that there is an<br />urgent necessity to go on and on until we get it. Yet just as there is no<br />time but the present, and no one except the all-and-everything, there is<br />never anything to be gained—though the zest of the game is to pretend<br />that there is.
