Moving 2
“Present”
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, or 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 will always remain in the present.
The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that the actions in the present are illusory and not real as well.

Editor’s Note:
The ‘Here and Now’ is the present, the universal and eternal present. In reality, there is no other place nor anything other than what is in the ‘Here and Now’ in this present moment. In reality, there is every possibility, albeit illusory, that belongs to the magical world of appearance and imagination. Neither conviction nor determination at its most intense can have it otherwise, no matter how vivid the appearance, no matter how colourful the imagination. Let us rejoice and be grateful for the guidance of the wise as our understanding matures in the here and in the now, the present that is.

German Translator’s Note:
The importance of the present is demonstrated in this article. Nothing but the present is present. Past is the present that has passed. Future is the present that is yet to come. And yet there is no separation between the past, present and future moments, the moment is eternal and always present. Fascinating is the play of times in the human mind, albeit illusory.
