looks like someone who got totally stuck in the intellectual analysis of practice stage. do you think these are valuable points of view being expressed? the "why not live inthe present" seemed to be a central aspect of these articles, the idea that living in the moment is unhealthy avoidance and laziness that leaves one incapable of taking care of life at a conventional level. actually when being in "the now" one is capable of understanding past present and future at a conventional level. one simply sees that ultimately/in reality there is only now, now, now. the difference between these perspectives is that the first suffers. both are capable of working with time at a conventional level.
when u understand that there is just the now at an ultimate level it is impossible for a sense of duality to develop. there is just this immediate experience, what could possibly get into this space that would be unfriendly? if you have a past and future though you are vulnerable to millions and millions of problems. you are this little entity with all these experiences hitting you one after another, bam bam bam. no thanks! I'd prefer to be unseparate from life in an absolute sense.
