The only thing that exists is the present moment; there is no past or future. Memories of the past are simply present experiences. Therefore, there is no real past, only memories of the past. By recognizing memories as current experiences, the distinction between past and future dissolves. This is known as the eternal now, the limitless moment, the nunc stans. In contrast, the nunc fluens is the limited and transient present. Living in unity consciousness means living in the timeless moment, without the limitations of past or future. Eternity concerns a consciousness without time, not everlasting time. The present moment is ongoing and continuous, and recognizing this means recognizing the illusion of time. Living in the past or future is a life of misery, as all our problems are related to time.
