00:00 - Optical Illusion and Perspective
I suppose most of you are familiar with this old optical illusion and you're asked the question which of the three thick black lines is the longer and I suppose one's natural reaction is to say the one on the left and I think you know that this is a result of the illusion of perspective.

01:30 - Maya and the Illusion of Time
But this is an example of Maya, that word from Indian philosophy which generally has the meaning of illusion or rather illusions brought about by the acceptance of certain conventions of which perspective was an example. Now I think one of the conventions by which we tend to be fooled more than almost any other is time.

03:00 - Time-Binding Animal
For all human beings, time is a matter of extraordinary importance and perhaps this is one of the principal ways in which we differ from animals because man has been called a time-binding animal, that is to say a creature who is vividly aware of the fact that his life moves as it were along a line from the past through the present and into the future. Animals apparently live pretty much moment by moment.

05:00 - Memory and Future Visions
Because man has a strong memory he is able to bear the past in mind and cast it forward into visions of the future based upon what has happened in the past. Although this facility gives man the most extraordinary ability to plan his life and prepare for future eventualities, at the same time there is a very heavy price which he pays for it, especially if he takes this ability too seriously, in other words if he doesn't realize that the true reality in which he lives is the present moment.

07:00 - Living in an Elsewhere
We actually spend most of our time and a great deal of our emotional energy living in time which is not here, living in an elsewhere which is not concretely real, so much so that although we may be quite comfortable and happy in our present circumstances, if there is not a guarantee, not a promise of a good time coming tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, we are at once unhappy even in the midst of pleasure and affluence.

09:00 - Chronic Anxiety About Time
We develop a kind of chronic anxiety about time. We want to be sure more and more that our future is assured and for this reason the future becomes of more importance to most human beings than the present and in this sense we are hooked, taken in by Maya because it is of very little use to us to be able to control and plan the future unless we are capable at the same time of living totally in the present.

11:00 - Living for the Future
In civilized societies, we spend so much of our time living for the future that we become like those celebrated donkeys with a carrot fastened on a stick tied to the neck, pursuing it but never reaching it.
