Any form of what they call mindfulness meditation is a funny thing. Sure , it can be a bit of a break from whatever you're normally up to, but then you go home, and here you are again. What really is all that stuff that Gautam Buddha and all those other guys and girls lucked into?

Maybe he took a train to the future and the future just looked at him and said, "Gautam, I am your father!"

But I screwed up. There weren't any trains then. He took an elephant.

OK, it's a bit of a joke, but the oddball thing I was using is to, instead, get a correct perception of time.

Hmmm?

My favorite Zen Master, Dogen, once said "Everyone thinks time is passing them by. They're wrong. It stays right where it is." And friends, when you become Time, everything stops and you

Become everywhere.
