the ego has a strange notion of time, and it is with this notion that your questioning might well begin. the ego invests heavily in the past, and in the end believes that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. remember that its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure its continuity by making the future like the past, and thus avoiding the present. by the notion of paying for the past in the future, the past becomes the determiner of the future, making them continuous without an intervening present. for the ego regards the present only as a brief transition to the future, in which it brings the past to the future by interpreting the present in past terms.

"now" has no meaning to the ego.
