adverb: at the present moment, no time or non-time.
That space between the non-existent past and the non-existent future. The only time that is real or actually existing.
The center between two non-existent or virtual poles or polarities.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
“If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.” [Ludwig Wittgenstein]
Krishnamurti
"Is it possible for the mind to live completely, totally, in the present? It is only such a mind that has no fear." [Krishnamurti]
"It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any." [Hugh Laurie]
Cayce
"In the material associations, in the material connections, then, do with thy might what thy hand finds to do today. For sufficient unto the day is the good as well as the evil thereof. For as He hath given in thee that thou may be the channel, the representative, the agent - yea, the very representative in flesh of Him, then act in thine inner self, act in thine outward expression, as though thou wert (for thou art!) His child, and are heir to all the glories here, now, of His kingdom. Not in the future, not of the past! For in the eternal now is He active in thee." Cayce (683-2)
"Know that in whatever state you find yourself, that - at the moment, is best for you." [Cayce 369-16]
Russell
"Where, therefore, is dimension, or time? If that event is happening within your room NOW as an unfolding from an electronic seed, and that dimensionless seed is unfolding in 50,000,000 rooms, how can you say that it is ten thousand miles, and weeks of time away from you? If you place a yardstick upon a mighty oak and measure its many dimensions, and then the oak withdraws those dimensions into its concept, as recorded in its seed, or in your eye, how can you say that the dimensions you measure with a yardstick and weighing scales, have any reality in a universe in which the reality you believe in disappears before your very eyes." [Atomic Suicide, page 153]
