Summary

This quote suggests that Ernest Hemingway, the author, is in a strange position. He is not relatable to the current generation, as they perceive him as distant from their own experiences. However, he is also not considered a historical figure yet, which implies that his work is not widely recognized as a significant part of history. This observation reflects the challenges of Hemingway's legacy, keeping him in an uncategorizable space between present and past.

You are just now, here, neither coming nor going. Everything

You are just now, here, neither coming nor going. Everything passes by you; your consciousness reflects it but it does not get identified. When a lion roars in front of a mirror, do you think the mirror roars? Or when the lion is gone and a child comes dancing, the mirror completely forgets about the lion and starts dancing with the child--do you think the mirror dances with the child? The mirror does nothing, it simply reflects. Your consciousness is only a mirror. Neither do you come, nor do you go. Things come and go. You become young, you become old; you are alive, you are dead. All these states are simply reflections in an eternal pool of consciousness.

Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy, expand that energy, and move that energy through your body. Coming back to your center, and approaching life from that center-to-line place... That to me gave me strength and understanding and hopefully wisdom to solve life's problems and challenges.
