I don't think we understand the present moment well at all. When I think about what the "now" actually is, it has no time at all. So, if there is no time, there can be no movement, and if there is no movement, there is no change, no life, just stillness. Just Death. We make sense of the now by pretending that the now is a period of time, A to B - but that is not the now, is it? For a human, the now is incomprehensible, so we make a fantasy to understand it so we can hold onto our version of sanity.

Yes. For example, it's very difficult to capture a moment and enjoy living it. Sometimes my morning coffee runs out very quickly, and I realize I didn't live that moment as I should have.
In this material universe, everything moves at incredible speeds, everything changes, and I need to effectively integrate myself into this fast-paced flow. To live this period of time according to my understanding.
But perhaps there is a world where everything is different and where time does not exist (or is completely different).
