present

We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. 

We have no present. 

Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. 

We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. 

We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is.

Alan Watts
