"Now; let me express to you, what becomes restricting is to be projecting yourself and your attention futurely, occupying your attention with what you want future, which is thusly followed by the present — generating the future to be the past. For in actuality, the future is an illusion, and it is not created ahead of you. You merely project your attention in speculation of future actions or events or accomplishments or outcomes, but the future is always followed by the present. Therefore, the present is actually the future, and the future becomes the past once it is followed by the present."

Elias
