When the mind is quiet of thought and anxiety then everything moves, including mind, or rather flows: the flow of life. Thinking is only possible if this flow is interrupted – if the flow of mind is halted with tension so that thoughts can be written onto it long enough for them to be registered. Life, which necessarily flows, cannot be thought. If I think then I think about past or future and thereby weaken the present – the only access I have to life. I enter life by bringing my intensity to bear upon the present.
