We experience life through the mind and the senses. The mind, by its etymology, is a mnemonic device. Our mind transforms the perceptions gathered by our senses and sorts them into categories of similar past experiences; rendering perceptions not as it is what it is whatever it is, but as artificial constructs of the mind. Thus, experiencing life through mind is not experiencing life in the "now" but more as on autopilot. Know, not now; we feel we know what we are experiencing but we are not in the now.
Experiencing life through our senses, principally through our eyes and ears, is the experience of the now. Beyond both eye and ear starting with the letter "e," the "e" face type looks like an image of an eye and ear. "e" is also the core letter in the word "new." When we truly experience life through our senses, everything is new because nothing is ever the same; but in our mind.
Upon experiencing the newness of everything, we can experience the now. "Now" is formed when "e" is replaced with "o." "o" is a universal image of the sun, whose light is the essence of everything. "o" also reveals the nature of the now.
Like all things in the universe, "o" has a within and without that appear as a mutually exclusive duality (something is either the inside or the outside but not both). However, the inside and outside are interdependent as one cannot exist without the other. Hence, when we are in the now we know that the dualities that seem to exist in life are illusions as everything is one....
