The more I sit and ponder on the fleeting moment of now, how every span of consciences lasts an mere moment, and is forever lost, the more I wonder if reality even exists. And if it does, what value does it have? If it does not, then what do we experience? Very much tied in with the idea of the Holographic Universe.
There's no problem in working outwards or backwards (depending on how you think about it) from that start and then comfortably integrating yourself into the greater human experience. The point being is so what if your observation is true? Regardless of the genuine nature of reality you still perceive thought and emotions, and the five senses and occasionally wonder if there might be a sixth sense after all . . . just as you perceive that all those other possible illusions that designated themselves as human seem to believe that they also experience. It does not matter if you are having sex with a real human being or only think that you might be having sex when it is the sensation of sex that actually matters to you and the perceptions you experience -- whether or not they are real. Anyway from that basis you can work up and outward to whatever degree you like in order to become as much or as little rooted in the fleeting here and now as works for you and therefore can read into your perception of existence as much or as little as you desire. Perceptions are all that really matter -- whether or not they are real. Or to put it another way since you have to endure them until you are no longer alive and sentient you lose nothing by treating them as if they are real and therefore have significant meaning.
And then when you throw in the fact that time itself is relative, who knows if one really is 'in the moment' ever?
In every moment every thing that could happen, does, and each thing that happens creates another universe. What we perceive as the passage of time is the creation of an infinity of universes as they fly by us like the pages of a book that has an infinite number of leaves. Whenever one folio is lifted it falls into a neverending series of thinner and thinner surfaces. The question of how to travel in time is really the question of how to stop. I also think you need to get laid. Or if you are being laid try doing it without drugs. And if you don't do drugs, start.
Not if you are trapped in the event horizon of a black hole in which case now lasts forever, well it used to, but now science is telling us it doesn't as Stephen Hawking has decided there are no black holes (http://www.nature.com/news/stephen-hawking-there-are-no-black-holes-1.14583)
