Beginningless time also means this very moment, and more precisely, this very moment as being inseparable from the past or future, which do not exist, and this very moment actually having no duration whatsoever, so it is 'beginningless".
If you think about it, everything only exists in this present moment. Linear time is merely a mental construct, a way of putting events in a certain order. Anopther way of thinking about this, is "everything that is going on in the whole universe is only happening right this second" (this may not be accurate according to modern physics, but it is a great meditation on time).
