The now is not now.

What the self perceives as the now (the now we know, the “know-now”) lags 80 milliseconds behind the true-now.

The true-now is the present; the pre-sent before it is sent from where it unfolds.

Once transmitted, the true-now is passed the space in which it unfolds. It becomes the past.

As every thing changes in the 80 milliseconds between the true-now and the know-now, the know-now is an illusion; though we think otherwise.

The true-now is the expression of the soul.

The know-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.
