Hi,
The moment is here, the moment was here, the moment has gone. The transition was there.
I am in the present, that present is now my past, I am in the future of that present and that past. The transition was transitory.

Iceman: sort of has it; but his is more of an explaination to the past.
The Transition between the Present and the Future is a moving point in time that takes place just after now.
Some cultures belive the Future is behind you and the past is in the front.
If you think about this, you can see the past in your mind easily just as you can see when you are walking forward if you are looking forward which most people do.
Hope this helps
Good Luck.

Now! To be more specific, the present is the transition between the future and the past. The difference between what was and what might be is what is.

It doesn't. That is what the term ever-present alludes to. Whatever you experience is always in the present. Even ideas which may occur are only experienced as present moment awareness.
Attempting to live in the future or past is the cause of most human suffering. Neither exists except as anticipation in the present moment or a memory experienced in the present moment.

In each individuals mind. I know some people who are never in the present, because they are always living in the future, focusing on what will be instead of what is. And the transition never does take place - it is forever lingering in front of us - the tomorrow that is always there.

The Present is being in the moment once you step out of the moment and look ahead you are in the Future .

time-transcending, i.e., devoid of immediate consciousness of succession and of ...any reality.
Cosmic light our time is based upon this when it changes in minute{mi-nute} measurement it either exiested or doesnt anymore . We live by this light based time whether it keeps on going by us{our past} it still exiest but not with us, or yet is staring to flood us it is our future that again in mi-nute unvailing itself when it is here it has not yet become our future but is present when it has left us it still is but will not be again{our Past} our present does not hold still for cosmic time travels faster then we exiest so in there we are experiencing the transition but it does not stop to be measured. Our past is measureable our future is yet to be measured but in cosmic time does exiest so it has happened but not present with us. so to make it simple the transition takes place when one is yet to be but is present and the other was present but is and is not.

I have not a clue, how about when your sleeping.....cuz you aren't aware of anything anyway, so i guess that would be when you are aware of the fact that its a new day. There for the future of what was the present yesterday.

if you're thinking about it the way im thinking about it, then i say the future will come once everything to be learned is learned, there are no mysteries, and everything and anything is possible. I think that once we get to that point human civiliazation will flatline and well be living in what today people think of as the future.

The present is the second you are living in, where you can make your own decisions.
The future is what you can only dream of, whether it is next year or the next second!!
