Mind in itself is a wonderful tool. Dysfunction sets in when you seek your self in it & mistake it for who you are. It then becomes the egoic mind and takes over your whole life.

Here is the key. End the delusion of time. Time & mind are inseparable. Remove time from the mind & it stops - unless you choose to use it. You choose to use it.

Time is an illusion & it's not precious at all. What you perceive as precious I'd not time but the one point that is out of time; the Now. Now is the only thing that is. It is all there is.

Life is Now. There was never a time when your life was not now. The Now is the only point that can take you beyond the confines of the mind.

I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn't even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.

When I first met Alan Parker, who directed 'Angel Heart,' he'd heard so many horror stories about me that he was literally scared to death of me. Right away, he sat me down and said, 'I'm very scared of you. I've heard you're a very bad boy.'
