For eternally and always there is only one now,
one and the same now; the present is the only
thing that has no end.
- Erwin Schrodinger
... time is not a linear flow, as we think it is, into past, present, and future. Time is an indivisible whole, a great pool in which all events are eternally embodied and still have their meaningful flash of supernormal or extra-sensory perception , and glimpse of something that happened long ago in our linear time.
- Frank Waters, Mountain Dialogues, 1981
