So, transformation is not the result of time: it is the
result of a quiet mind, a steady mind, a mind that is
still, tranquil, passive . . . if the mind simply has the
intention to understand what is and is therefore still,
in that stillness you will find there is an understanding
of what is, and therefore a transformation . . . it is
this stillness, this alert passivity, that brings a
transformation. - philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti

among those who have described alert passivity is
author and philosopher Aldous Huxley.

Huxley's The Periennial Philosophy is a classic book on abiding.

Aldous was a true dude and would have truly appreciated The Holy Film.
Is there a Ralph's around here?

Brave New World, in the parlance of our times, was a Swiss fucking watch. You can imagine where it goes from there.
