Picture a timeline.* It's a timeline of your life.* It has an arrow going from left to right.* It says, "You were born" "This present moment" and at the end, "the moment you die". So anything in your past, is not real.* It's your imagination - it's in your mind.* It's your memory.* It's your thought.* Same goes for the future.* It's not to say that these aren't valid, but, all you have is the present moment.* It's almost like a string with a beginning and an end with 'me' here.* A string with a beginning and an end, and there's a bead. There is the moment. And that bead is where you are now. But the part of the string you were on before is gone. Well, something like that.

Interesting seasoning thing here.* Beginning of Fall 2002, Beginning of Spring 2003, Beginning of Spring 2015. Hm.
