George Berkeley
“Suppose now one of your hands hot, and the other cold, and that they are both at once put into the same vessel of water, in an intermediate state, will not the water seem cold to one hand, and warm to the other?”
George Berkeley, Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous

Daniel J. Siegel
“Things as they are clash with things as our top-down invariant processes expect them to be. We shove sensation through the filter of the past to make the future predictable. In the process, we lose the present. But because the present is all that exists, we have lost everything in the bargain.”
Daniel J. Siegel, The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being
