The experience of NOW I must become aware of if I am to realize the purpose of being. I am experiencing this creation, not a previous one or one yet to be, but this one. The gift (and the curse) is that this experience occurs through the body that I have NOW. I witness NOW as my brain interprets information it receives. Light waves are sorted through my eyes, sound waves through my ears; heat and cold through sensors over my body; tastes are analyzed on my tongue, smells through my nose. All these interpretations occur NOW based on past experiences and then, interestingly, the brain signals actions based on the past. How I respond to the signals will affect how the experience continues. This experience of NOW involves choices (that only I make) based on information collected in the past. Now is witnessed based on past experience comparison by the brain.
Each moment not only do I experience choices playing out but I witness how they affect the environment I am witnessing. In this environment are other beings having individual experiences of NOW, making choices that we all are experiencing within the constraints of the body we inhabit. Witnessing NOW is it.
