In each moment, even though the circumstances seem the same as well as the people in our life seem already known to us, nothing is actually similar to the moment before. Each new moment and each new experience, each piece of information and each experience of our self inevitably changes us, as it does others, even though our educated mind wants to spot the familiar and likes to sit comfortably in its “knowing”.
Our surface, mechanical ego comes online (as long as we permit it to) assuming it knows, by examining and judging the past, what the present and future moment will look like. It gives us ready, formed, reactive responses; it hypothesizes and alters reality to suit its perception. This leads to repeated reactions, until we manage to detach from the ego and silence the inner chatter of ego mind.
