This is wonderful, Mike-- endless eons of delusion illuminated into harmlessness!
I particularly took his reiterated point that practice is always and only NOW; my mind immediately jumped to people who take it upon themselves to exhort others to 'practice!' The context is everything: if it's your teacher, and you're lost in speculations or stories or other evasions of the practice set before you-- that's useful. Otherwise, it would be useful to look at what the exhortation is, as a practice, in the moment-- for the one issuing the directive.
