Koan 140

The now begins with M = E/C² and ends with E = MC².

M = Mass

E = Energy

C = Speed of Light

 

Before the now, all there is is Energy.

When Energy is slowed down by incomprehensible speeds, Energy becomes Mass.

Mass is the things that comprise the now.

When Mass is speeded up to incomprehensible speeds, Mass reverts into Energy and the now that was now is now no longer.

The cycle of Energy to Mass and back to Energy is incomprehensively quick. Yet, the mind slows it down so we experience the now as a continuous thing over time.
