Chatting with a friend I’ve met recently. He had said something about time.
I rarely if ever think about time, except if I’m reading something by J. Krishnamurti, who talks a lot about time.
I realized today, it’s only the ego who experiences time.
No ego, no time.

There are some people who suddenly experience it, but it is a spontaneous awakening and not planned our even sought in these surprising cases. It just happens with some people for reasons…
There are really few people who seem to have the state of mind that I have stumbled into. U. G. Krishnamurti is one person who undoubtedly has near exactly (as far as I can tell) the same state that is here. It was at the age of 49 when UG Krishnamurti realized it was the…
