What Being in the “Now” Really Means

In many self-help and spiritual books, being in the “Now” has become a speaking point. In reality, the journey of the “Now” is an extraordinary journey to undertake and is truly beyond words to articulate.

When you are in the “Now”, you’re focused on experiencing everything in that moment — from the rhythm of your being to the rhythm of the air, to the beating heart of the planet. You are witnessing that moment. You are seeing beauty in everything when you exist in the Now. You see the awe of existence. You’re not planning the future and you’re not judging the past. You are absolute Now, and that is the most incredible absoluteness that you can ever feel while you are in the flesh.

Perception plays a great part in constructing what one perceives to be the Now.

Because I study history at the degree that I study it, many people would say I live in the past. I study history (and the culture and belief systems within that history, most importantly) so that I can find and see how it correlates to the Now, and in doing so, I can see how we continue to repeat the past. Technologically we have advanced, but we now use the technological advancements to push the narratives of the ancestors.

In general, the voices of hatred and fear are still the most sought-after attributes that we exercise.
