" Atha yoga anushasanam " ... This is the 1st sutra of Patanjali`s Yoga Sutras ...This single sentence defines the science of Self-Realization.

NOW ... The degree of NOW that one is experiencing is in direct relation to the degree of one`s Awakening

Yet if now in fact has no degrees, any degree of now is only an illusion and that would mean now cannot be perceived in degrees, and possibly not contained in any perception but known through revelation which can happen at any point in ones evolution.
Then as one is awakening their attempt to define the now lessens as the mind approaches saturation in the revelation of now.

Human mind can only think in terms of past and future, it cannot experience the present, it deviates from the present continuously. The mind is like a pendulum -- it moves to the left or to the right, it is either leftist or rightist. If you stop the pendulum in the middle, time/mind stops. This state of pure awareness is Vajra, Dorje -- the precious noble stone.

There are no limits to the human condition other than those that are self imposed. As such the human mind ceases to identify with being conditioned when it is still, but it does not cease to be in Union with being human.

When a man is beyond the state called thought, when a man is in this state, pure and simple, the highest of all, that is called Atman, he is the Knower...

"SEE," said Nansen, "the Goose is out !"

Huh? I thought I was following you up to this point.

TIME

Do you live by a clock ?
In a hurry? Enslaved by time?
Are you a man in time ?
Or are you against time ?
Or out of time, free of time ?
But what is time ?
Is time thought and mind ?
Is it real ? Slow or fast ?
Or is there no time ?
Some say time flies
And time is money...
And what can you say of time ?

Hahahahah!!! Rationalism in few words.

Time is a concept invented by a man to shorten his own lifetime.
