A man who is living fully and clearly is not concerned whether it will continue tomorrow. There is no concern; he is living and therefore he is not looking to a future continuity. That is very important to understand: any form of continuity, except as knowledge and skill, is totally destructive to the new. What continues is habit, memory, the repetition of a pattern of pleasure, pain and desire. The repetition of any habit or pattern cannot bring about a state of mind that is totally new, young, decisive, alive, which is not burdened by the past.
