Time is such a painful mystery partly because, when we take stock of our present awareness, it is inconceivable that this awareness is attached to an entity, an animal, that is born and dies. There is a soul in here, in there--the thoughts and emotions, even though they are attached to an ego, are signs of a soul, signs of an immortal principle, an undying reality.
~ Jacob Needleman, Time and The Soul (2005)
