Moving 3
“Past”
A human sperm and a human ovum are moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, while they are maturing. A human sperm and a human ovum are moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, as they approach each other to fertilize. After fertilization, the fertilized, human sperm and ovum are moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, as an embryo. Every cell in the embryo is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, to form a foetus.
Similarly, every cell in the foetus is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, to form a child in the mother’s womb. Also, every cell is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, as the child within the mother’s womb until it is delivered to exist in the world.
A child’s head and eyes move ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, but a child does not know that its head and eyes move or are moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, nor that it is moving its head and eyes or is able to move its head and eyes ‘Here and Now’, which is the present.
Every cell of the young boy or girl is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, and this moving in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, appears as actions of the young boy or girl in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present.
Every cell of the young man or young woman is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, and this moving in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, appears as an adult man or woman in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present.
Every cell of an adult man and an adult woman is moving ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, and this moving in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, appears as actions of an adult man or woman in the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present.
The ‘Here and Now’ moment, which is the present, is not separate from the next ‘Here and Now’ moment, which is the present, because in between a ‘Here and Now’ moment in the present and the next ‘Here and Now’ moment in the present is a ‘Here and Now’, which is the present moment as well.
Since only moving is present in the ‘Here and Now’ moment, it signifies that in any ‘Here and Now’ moment, which is the present, there is only moving in any ‘Here and Now’ moment, which is the present, and the actions of a young/ adult man and a young/ adult woman in the ‘Here and Now’ moment, which is the present, is illusory and not real.
Since the moment ‘Here and Now’ is always present as the present, it implies that it is the ‘Here and Now’, which is the present, is always in the present and does not go into the past.
The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that the past not only does not exist, but it is also illusory and not real. Furthermore, the actions in the present that does exist are illusory and not real as well.

Editor’s Note:
Do we not habitually reach for the past to give us our bearings in the present? Do we not profess knowledge and experience from the past to give us confidence and authority in the present? In our daily life has the past not unwittingly been accepted as the present? Do we not believe that lessons from the past will secure our future? Have the conditioned minds of men and women forgotten the present that is for the past that is not, never has been and will never be a reality? Let us rejoice in the proclamation of the wise for their guidance in our journey of life, the journey that is.

German Translator’s Note:
Many live much of their lives in the past. They live in their minds in the past, but while of course they are in the present. Because the present is all that exists. So they live in the present and think about the past. They do not live in the past. However, since modern man's thinking has become life to him or her, man is deceived about his actual existence. To reveal this deception succeeds the wise, as Dr. Shankar here in this article. Deep understanding of the past releases man from the illusory prison of the past into the present moment, here and now.
