The Importance of the Present Moment

In the winter of 19 87, i took the drug three four methyline dioxe n methalampetamin, commonly known as ecstasy. And my sense of the human mind's potential shifted profoundly. I could no more have felt envy at that moment than i could have wanted to poke out my own eyes. How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and therefore the quality of our lives.
