As people age and perceive their future as grimmer, they often flip into living in the past, repeating stories about missed opportunities, rather than living in the present; the present moment is the gateway to timelessness and freedom, but cultural fear of death pushes elderly people into the past.

“as people get older and their future gets Grimmer from their point of view they flip into the past so then they only tell stories about the past...the present was their salvation because had they been able to come into the present moment they would have gone right through the doorway into timelessness [38:31]”
