Time doesn't exist, it's a delusion created by the mind. Being trapped in the mind is to live almost exclusively in past or present...through memory and anticipation. Have you ever thought of something outside the now,in the past or future? No it's not possible, you can only think in the now, there is only ever the now. Reliving a memory or anticipating the future can only be done in the now, this very moment is all you have.
Indeed...the mind is an instrument, a tool for us to use and when we've finished we should put it down. Of course we have to understand who 'us' is. Are we our consciousness, our mind or our being...and who is in control?
I was at my divorce settlement yesterday, when I announced I would like to make a suggestion. They agreed, so, I told them, "She can have the car, the house, all the funds in our joint account and full custody of our children on one condition... I get to keep whatever I have in my pocket."
"It's a deal," my wife said, with a smug look on her face.
"You obviously didn't check the lottery numbers last night, did you?"
Your post made a lot of sense ooby...and food for thought for any smoker. But it is an addiction, more so than a heroin addiction. Most if not all smokers are drug addicts, it's difficult for many to beat the ad
