Only in the present moment can the truth be found. This is why mindfulness instructors, spiritual masters, and even therapists share the importance of meditation, breathing, and being in the present moment. In the Bible, when Moses asks God His name, He replies, “I am.” God doesn’t say He was or will be, because those don’t exist in the now. He simply says, “I am.” God, truth, the Universe, freedom, peace, joy, and love (these terms are all synonymous) can only be found, and therefore experienced, in the present.
