To be in the here and now means to rest in soul knowledge and to be able to let go of thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow. For the knowledge of the soul encompasses eternity and infinity.
Against it stands the isolation of the ego on its being in this moment and in its limitation concerning yesterday’s and tomorrow’s and distant events. Finally the ignorance about the meaning and the death.
Both states of consciousness exist in the here and now. Therefore, the advice to stay in the here and now is to be misunderstood and can lead to a wrong „approach“.
