We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we're in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back form the present. That now is the creative point of life. So you see its like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that.. Also watch the flow of music. The melody as its expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence.. You wait till later to find out what the sentence means.. The present is always changing the past.
Alan Wilson Watts
Zen is a liberation from time. For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality.
future past reality present zen being
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
time future past illusion present
past meaning present changing
