What is the Now?
The Now is not a single moment in a movie, sandwiched in-between
a "past" and "future" moment.
The Now is the entire movie screen, which allows the whole
movie to play itself out. Time passes in the movie, and locations change,
people are born and die, but the movie screen itself is always deeply at rest,
constant, unchangeable, unfindable within the movie, unborn and undying, and
wide open to what happens. It is pure capacity.
You are not 'in' or 'out' of the Now. You ARE the Now, the
unlimited capacity for all of life.
Jeff Foster
