What is NOW?
Explain please. Before is past, future is not yet. When did NOW occur?

If you know the answer, you are on a good path

But when is Now. A second ago. An hour ago. What exactly is a moment? Past is memory, future is anticipation. How can Now happen?

It's constant, yet unobtainable.

It's already passed by the time you acknowledge it.

Time is a spindle of the present that spins the past and future away simultaneously.

Now = infinity

Now can never be when because when is time limited.
Now is.
Even past and future, duality delusions of time, both arise from, and return to the endless present of now. But there is no now, this is why it is named now.

Re: What is NOW?
Think of the infinity symbol: each lobe a representation of the past and the future and the node where they cross is the Now.

Yin-Yang symbol: the most comprehensive symbol created by man to represent the Now. To represent the Tao. To represent the truth.

There is no 'answer'.

No 'right' or 'wrong'.

It's perspective.

Time is a perspective. A construct.

Re: What is NOW?
Now is life, it contains all eternal consciousness as one infinitely small and large moment of expression. Its the only thing you can actually experience.

Now is death, its anticipating a memory dreamt up out of what can only be nowhere.
Now is nothing.

Wake up...

Now is active being in eternity. It is the opposite of nothing. It is a thing out of nothing that is active. An eternal thought of being.
