People like Eckhart Tolle talk about the power of presence, of being in the Present. They speak about the power of “being here now.” I’ve read their books and I’ve listened to their words. It’s not a new idea, the notion that nothing really exists but the eternal now, this very present moment. It’s not a new idea that both the past and the future are nothing more than thought. They are both mental constructs. They are the result of stringing the ever-present now together like a strand of pearls. Memory collects and forms pearls strung out on the backend and imagination projects, creating pearls stretching out on the front side. But we’ll come back to that in a moment.
