It is quite true that now is all that there is. We all live for the future, for a goal. Our desires, our heart is in the not now. But the now is all that there is. This is reality. There is no other. In this present reality is all that there is. ALL is in this reality. It is filled, the pleroma. Paul and Teilhard de Chardin and others talk about the Parousia, the Omega point, towards which everything is progressing – but I wonder. In a way Eliot is right. Time past and time future are both contained in time present, though in different ways. But to say that only now exists is not to say that all time is eternally present. Now is eternally present, it is all that is, and time plays as a sort of passacaglia or fugue in it.
