God Now,
For God is always now,
This is what Zen teaches,
God is now,
This is so true that God and now are synonymous.
Now is the name of God,
This is why God has no name because now is elusive.
If I name now, now is no more.
If I name and fixate on God, then it is not God, but an idol.
If I revive and organize my memories of the past, if I anticipate and fantasize about a possible future,
If I wrap God, with the past or the future, it is not of God that I speak but of a idol.
The words of the past only serve your soul if they remind you that you are the eternal now.
Seeing God now is the coming of the Kingdom,
Experiencing the Eternal now is allowing the reign of God.
Notes & Silence 
Then now must be both unchanging and all-encompassing; past and future illusory.

‘The only now’ theory is exclusive of any statement in favour of a perpetual change.
If there’s onny now, there can be no change.
Change needs a past an a future.
Unless change, like everything else has intrinsic reality and is a matter of perception.
So…just repeating what you just said.
I’m now wondering in advocates of the ‘here and now’ and ‘change is the only certitude we have’ ever think about this possible incompatibility.

Light can be both wave and particle. Observation collapses uncertainty at the level of quantum mechanics. Incompatibility (at least, as far as we see it) is part of the universe. Why should this be any different?

…like reality being both a emanation from inner consciousness and external phenomenon ?

Perhaps.
I am unsure where consciousness resides. Is it in us, or are we in it? Or both? Is that the same as you suggest anyway.
Everything, it seems to me, is encoded information. Who dreams it? What makes it seem « solid »?

A profound and wise text. It invites us to live in the present as a way of encountering the divine, reminding us that the true meaning of God is found in the now.
Best regards.
