[MD] A larger system of understanding

[X Acto]

To add, for me, the dynamic now, being contantly in flux
and forever passing away, is much more comforting than
the static horrors of the past which confine it and manifest
itself in each moment.

Oh, I agree, but neglecting the now for the comfort of past
comes with it's own set of perils.

I can't imagine any way of thinking about experience outside of
thought.  If its not a percept, not a concept, then it's not any
experience I can imagine.

And how can the MoQ be experience at the same time  a tool for dealing
with experience?  Where's the fun in that?

Bo must be unsane.

In my humble opinion, the now is way over-rated.  I like living in the
past.  It's so much more knowable, manipuable and non-threatening.

The former John
