“We are taught to superimpose the past on the present and the future, and so we lose the excitement, the newness, of the moment. It takes noticing to see this mechanical functioning. A mind filled with thoughts concerning the already known is not receptive to the current of life that flows from the all-possible. Living is to be found in the timeless Now.” ~Dr. Jean Klein, a French author, spiritual teacher, and Advaita (nondual) guide.
(Adapted for my forthcoming book Noticing by adding “noticing” in lieu of “alertness.”)
