Oh, I agree, but neglecting the now for the comfort of past
comes with it's own set of perils.

I can't imagine any way of thinking about experience outside of
thought.  If its not a percept, not a concept, then it's not any
experience I can imagine.

And how can the MoQ be experience at the same time  a tool for dealing
with experience?  Where's the fun in that?

Bo must be unsane.

In my humble opinion, the now is way over-rated.  I like living in the
past.  It's so much more knowable, manipuable and non-threatening.

The former John
