They discovered a crumpled paper plate in the boy's rusty old lunchbox. Scrawled in magenta crayon was written: "Linear time is only a construct created by the mind of man. Getting caught up in mental meanderings traps man in a prison of illusion. In order to break free of this unreality, he must detach from this false identity he has established for himself. In his constant race with time, man can never win. But underneath all the noise of the mind, there is a stillness. This stillness is pure consciousness, and this consciousness is man's true identity. There is only this one consciousness, infinitely expressing itself through the entire cosmos. When man embraces this 'Silent Within,' he is operating with clarity and purpose from the source of creativity itself."
