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 the speed of light squared, energy becomes Mass.

The Mass is the now.

When Mass accelerates to the speed of light squared, it reverts into Energy.

The process of Energy to Mass and back happens in an instant; again and again and again.

It happens so quickly, we don’t sense it happens. The mind creates an illusion of continuity and stability.
