The now is not now.

What the self perceives as the now (the now we know, the “no-now”) lags 80 milliseconds behind the true-now.

The true now is the present; the pre-sent, the true-now before it is sent, transmitted, from the space in which it unfolds.

Once transmitted, the true now is the past in the space in which it unfolds.

As every thing changes in the 80 milliseconds between the true-now and the no-now, the no-now is an illusion; though we undoubtedly think otherwise.

The true-now is the expression of the soul.

The no-now is an illusion created by the self.

Self-realization is realizing the self is an illusion as well.

When we are present, we are the soul experiencing life as the self.
