The Greek word for sinning means to โmiss the point;โ The point is eternal life which is here and now.
Alan Wattsthis present moment never comes to be and it never ceases to be, it is simply our minds that construct the continuity of thoughts we call time. In the present moment is nirvana.
Alan WattsProblems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.
Alan WattsWe think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.
