A short transcript excerpt of a spoken reflection (YouTube video) emphasizing that only the present moment is directly experienced and that genuinely sensing—rather than merely intellectually recognizing—the power of the present moment is transformative but ineffable. The speaker stresses awareness of immediate experience and the difficulty of explaining that sensed power.

The effect of time you see everywhere.
So there's.
Only the present moment in your immediate experience. That's a very important realization because that takes you the awareness.
Of that fact.
Not just intellectual recognition that this is.
Actually so.
But to actually.
Sense the.
I don't dare.
I say it, to sense the power of.
The present moment. That is something that one cannot.
Explain.
