Good Para :
like all rivers the river ahead of us already exists before we arrive there. In the same way the future already exists now.
Not in a pre-determined sense but at least as some potentiality. As we arrive at the future moment our arrival marks the
passage from the fluid form that we call future to the definitive solid form that we experience as the past.
We do not create time by passing through it; we simply freeze it in its tracks.
One cannot step twice in same river. ( be adaptive )
You reap what you sow. ( actions & result of actions )
Burn Daylight ( Waste time )
rubs it on someone : keep talking abt someone that makes him/her embarrased/upset

3] The Non-Locality of Self
Personal Trasformation : mind shapes our perception of reality
So We could change our experience of reality by altering our minds.
Reality : It is not fixed that we exist in & don't have to take as given.
It can be altered and creative role is own to us.
This insight is heart & Soul of Conscious Evolution
It is much bigger than what previously thought
Our spiritual awakenings and realizations confront us with an experience of a reality that lies beyond our current perception.
4] Science - Spirituality Conflicts
Facts vs faith based, Analytical & Moral Network ( 2 suppress each other ), theoritaical vs practical
-> Believe in religion, spiritual - empathic feelings, concerns & views
analytical thinking : disbelief in spiritual/religious idea. Why ?
faith requires disengagement of brain networks
Moral thinking : correlated with meditation, doing prayer
Religion & Science,actually are different kind of insight
Taking a leap of faith involves shutting down brain regions involved in analytic reason
