BYRON KATIE: NOW ISN’T
Now isn’t. (Have you noticed?)
– Byron Katie
I don’t know how Katie sees this, but here is what comes up for me.
When I try to find “now”, I cannot find it outside my idea of now. I can find what appears in my senses – sights, sounds, smell, taste, sensations and so on – but I cannot find “now”.
Now is an idea with associations. It’s a mental representation, not what it points to.
Also, what we in our thoughts call “now” has already passed. Our thoughts are always one step behind.
In either case, “now” doesn’t exist as we imagine it.
