In the very fact of time's illusoriness, in the actuality of the eternal present, there is our best hope, our finest opportunity. For it means that the future can be shaped, within due limits. We can help to make tomorrow, can contribute something to it, at least by bringing it into today. But all this remains only a mere possibility if we do not take advantage of the paradoxical and astounding truth. We must begin by clearing away some of the debris with which past habit, thought, feeling, and attitude have cluttered up our insides.
