That all there ever is.
When the past happened,
It was the present moment.
It couldn't happen anywhere else.
And when you remember the past, you remember it in the present moment.
The future, when the future comes, when tomorrow comes, it won't be tomorrow anymore.
It will be the now.
There was a British pub in London that had... I lived in London for many years.
They had a sign on the bar that says, free beer tomorrow.
And of course, tomorrow never comes.
So the sign is always true.
So you go the next day, say, no, tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Wow, that's funny.
Tomorrow actually never comes.
Of course, we need to make plans on a practical level.
The future is indispensable.
We need future for us to get together here, to talk, stipulate day and time for connecting.
So on a practical level, we cannot do without future.
But on the deeper level, on the deeper psychological level, it's important to realize that the future as such does not actually exist because all you can ever experience or have is the present moment.
