Alden Bell said this quote

“ To stop. To cease, just for a moment. To turn your back on the world, to close your eyes - to see the nothing that is not rather than the nothing that is everywhere around you. To just be quiet in your mind for a little minute.

He says:Then you pick one side or the other and you stand there.
