Everything can be named and described

The left hemisphere sees things, names them, describes them.

The right hemisphere sees an undivided whole where all is intimately connected. No things, no names, no descriptions.

I talk about this in Slide 9 notes: Ordinary and nonordinary realities.

The arrow of time

We divide time into three parts — past, present and future. That division is false, absolutely false. Time is really past and future. The present is not part of time. The present is part of eternity. That which has passed is time; that which is to come is time. That which is, is not time, because it never passes — it is always here. The now is always here — it is always here! This now is eternal.

Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), in Tantra Spirituality and Sex

Don Juan tells us that eternity is all around us, and that any given moment can become eternity if we use it to take the totality of ourselves forever in any direction. Accepting the responsibility for finding our way to the impossibility of such a moment is the essence of the warrior’s way of being.

The moment of transformation is not an event. It doesn’t have the properties of things or experiences. It has no position, no location in time, no beginning, no middle, and no end. It doesn’t look like anything or feel like anything.

There is no sense of time in primal world. Instead, there is the eternal now.

Between the end of one moment and the beginning of the next, nothing ‘exists’, and the truly new comes from nothing.
