"Except that itâ€™s not really 'now' that the inner critic attacks. Itâ€™s a few seconds or a minute ago. The inner critic depends upon comparison, and when we are fully aware in the present moment, when there is no past or future in our mindâ€™s awareness, there is nothing to compare. There is only what is, as it is. The inner critic disappears."

-- Jan Chozen Bays
