“The first move, the first ‘adjustment’ in any relationship whatsoever, even in »thought, determines not merely all futures, but their »character, «origins, and »meaning… the entire manifold of possible futures begins to collapse.

The very first sequence of transitions. Not merely with others, but with yourself. In your mind. Where you see, interpret, analyze, imagine, reject… accept…withhold judgment. Impose it…. this is a dance between you and all the beings in all of time.

There’s nothing else for ‘it’ to be. It is always this.

And it is not what we »think, but how and why we enter into relation… that imposes the character of it’s structure on all future situations. And our own minds.

Understand this, and you will »remember.

So it is that if we imagine an enemy, little else appears to our awareness. If we imagine a true companion in the great adventure… an otherwise impossible »memory arises in our awareness. A memory of »before.

Of recognition.

Those of you who may ask: ‘before what’? Well, you already know the answer. And if I’m mistaken, go find it yourself.”
