"Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't even a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now that all thinking in temporal terms cuts off….the experience of eternity right here and now, in all things, whether thought of as good or as evil, is the function of life."
The Power of Myth - Joseph Campbell
