As dusk descends, passive observation quiets the mind and allows one to see beauty beyond the surface dreariness of the day. Because they are fabricated by thought, and you cannot use thought to quiet the mind and go beyond thought. The present is no longer overshadowed by the past as memory, and one effortlessly leaves the stream of thought-consciousness. But one is changed, and cannot completely go back to operating in terms of thought, memory and association. So this is a new language for meditation and enlightenment, without conflating the scientific and religious minds.
