Now?

three simple letters n, o, w put together to make a word that has what seems to be a concrete meaning but that meaning has an idea behind it, these ideas blur out the experiential reality of it, deforming it of its true meaning at all which then takes us back all over again to where we started. Now. What now?

According to Oxford Dictionary, the word "now" means:
at the present time or moment.
 ie;
where are you living now?it’s the most popular style of jazz right nowthey should be back by now

You see, according to Oxford "now" is a part of time or a segment of time which means it is something that's a consequence of the past and something that will cause the future. This is an idea. When in experience, or in reality, all that there has ever been is right now, and it's a continuous stream of nows... without segments... without parts to differ one moment to another.

Now most people today, live in an idea of time, a fantasy really where events occurring continuously are separated from one another and so the only outcome possible in their experience is something that has no new outcome... they're not living in real-time or what we call now or this moment, which brings about new possibilities to what you perceive as reality. As you're reading this, i'd like you to come into awareness of this moment, don't cling on to this moment, let this moment or the stream of moments go by and look at it as a part of what we call now...

If you have completed this exercise correctly, you will find that you have liberated yourself in some way, you feel less chained to past events, less confined to what has happened before and more open to what is happening right now and so you don't have an idea anymore of what will happen in the future, you are free into the now.

The reason there is so much focus put on being able to experience the present moment is because it the root of so many forms of suffering, especially in terms of pattern... patterned suffering.

Well just to play devil's advocate let's say someone says to me "well how can you say that all there is is now when just yesterday i went to the groceries store, that was the past wasn't it? So the past does exist."
To this advocate i say, "show me. Show me now that you went to the groceries store yesterday."
and he or she would reply, "I can't. How can i? it happened yesterday"
And then i'd say... "so how does it exist?"

just from writing this post i realize, It's very hard to write about the present moment because it can't be captured in one frame of time because it's continuous not discrete, and it can't be intellectualized which is such a bummer because now i realize this post is pointless... So look for the present moment yourself
Hint: it's right under your nose

i guess all i want to say is... Hey!! Snap out of your illusion of time!! the time is now!!!
