Nothing is permanent and most things that reflect profound experiences occur spontaneously and last only seconds in a lifetime. Can you think of moments in your life that you tried to hold on to? Moments of laughter, joy, ecstasy, or moments of deep mystical encounters and spiritual awakenings. Moments you thought would last forever have become but fleeting memories of the past. Yet in that one second you were transformed into a new way of being.
