What If This Moment Is All You've Ever Had | Alan Watts

When did the past happen? Think about it. It happened NOW—when you experienced it. When will the future arrive? NOW—when it becomes the present. You've never actually left this moment. Every single experience of your entire life happened NOW. Not then, not later, but in this eternal present moment .

In this profound teaching, Alan Watts reveals the shocking truth: this moment is all you've ever had. Past is just present-moment memory. Future is just present-moment imagination. You've never experienced anything except NOW. And yet we spend our entire lives mentally elsewhere—replaying the past, rehearsing the future, always somewhere except here, always somewhen except now .

This video explores:
✓ Why you've never left this eternal present moment
✓ Past is memory happening NOW, not something that exists elsewhere
✓ Future is imagination happening NOW, never actually arrives
✓ Living in chronic elsewhere—physically here, mentally absent
✓ Replaying past conversations while missing present ones
✓ "I'll be happy when..." - the endless postponing of life
✓ What you're missing while mentally elsewhere
✓ Children growing up NOW while you plan tomorrow
✓ Life happening NOW while you wait in mental waiting room
✓ The eternal present - not infinite time, but outside time
✓ Time is measurement, NOW is reality
✓ You are the eternal NOW, not in time but as timeless awareness
✓ Nothing has ever happened except in this moment
✓ How to be here without making it another technique
✓ This moment is not rehearsal—THIS IS IT

Perfect for anyone living mentally elsewhere, always planning/remembering instead of experiencing, postponing life for "someday", feeling like life is passing by unlived, waiting for the right moment to begin living, or ready to wake up to the only moment there is: NOW .
