"...time is constituted only in the instant of decision. ... Only in relation to decision is there past or future. The present is decision, discrimination... Before it there is not time, not even as simple flow, for even flow would imply a direction, a going toward, and thus--already--the distinction and discrimination that only decision can institute. Decision is not in time, we must therefore conclude, but time in decision." --- pp. 32-3, Dialogue with Nietzsche by Gianni Vattimo.
Would this mean then that in meditation one need not transcend time; one need only not decide, not choose either for or against in order to overcome time?
