Context:
Existence: What is the self?
IT'S THERE when we wake up and slips away
when we fall asleep, maybe to reappear in our
dreams. It's that feeling we have of being
anchored in a body we own and control and
perceive the world from within. It's the feeling
of personal identity that stretches across time,
from our first memories, via the here and now,to some imagined future. It's all of these tied
into a coherent whole. It's our sense of self.
@oristarA,
'the here and now' is the noun form.
(first) memories(noun) /the here and now(noun)/(imagined) future(noun)
"The here and now" is a complete phrase. It is used to designate the concrete and immediate present, when it is desired to contrast this with the remembered or imagined past or future, possibly in other places.
