The Now as a Work Concept

World famous guru speaks and writes about being in 'the now'. Philosopher listens intently being an expert in 'the now'. Guru says that people need to disassociate themselves from matters that coddle ego and distance them from being in 'the now'. Philosopher ponders idea of 'the now'. In 'the now', what is, is.

The problem with you, philosopher or scientist, is that you are not in 'the now'.

People who are not in 'the now' cause the wars and problems that the world has seen throughout its history. Guru claims that in the new world when people are all in 'the now' a wondrous new age begins. Is this Zen and has America moved towards 'the Now'?

I am reminded how similar the now is to remembering oneself. There is an art to the enlightened master of meditations. It is helpful to realize that the journey of meditation occurs over several of one's lives.

As you mature and have a partner, use the methods that have been successful in love and intimate relationships.
