Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 That which we have named The Now or Present is only a conceptual construct and as such is forever condemned to another conceptual construct that we have named The Past. We can never experience either The Now or the Past because they exist only in the mind which is itself......a conceptual construct.........as is the " we " that seeks to experience them.

Any belief that it holds concerning things conceptual is part of the illusion. If what you call the " present " is real; Bring it out here and sit it on the table.......Let's have a look at it. > Nisargadatta , " toombaru2003 " > <toombaru2003> wrote: > > That which we have named The Now or Present is only a conceptual > construct and as such is forever condemned to another conceptual > construct that we have named The Past. > > > > We can never experience either The Now or the Past because they > exist only in the mind which is itself......a conceptual > construct.........as is the " we " that seeks to experience them.
