You are a mood transmitter

The online contagion of feelings

“…the science of association is the mother science; the progress of all the others depends on the progress of that one.”

—Alexis de Tocqueville

This moment is a fact.

We have to start somewhere so let’s start with where we are, you and I, reading these words on a screen, staring into our orisons of light.

This moment is “now”.

Right now, the past is no longer. Right now, the future is not yet. We cannot go backwards into the past. We cannot go forward into the future. We exist here, reading these words, in the eternal present.

We will read a few more words, and then that will be our present. And then we will read a few more words, and that will be our present. This is the still point, outside is the turning world.

Fact follows fact

Every moment we remain here is “now”.
