That's an interesting thought but you're misspeaking here I'd say. These paths aren't misleading. Rather and like all things, it is the human being, intellectualizing about these practices rather than simply living them, who misinterprets, misunderstands, and misleads. In the same way people blame the religion, when its the fundamentalist followers and their interpretation of the holy book who are at fault.
And yes, the present moment or now is the physical-material reality human beings experience. (Although we cannot say for certain that's the case with, say, an ascended master, who may in fact have evolved a different, alt-dimensional relationship to past, present and future.) But is it truly impossible to not be in the now? That's a question. A person suffering from the torment of deep regret, is living in the past. Yes, they are physically in the present, that is true. But it is also a reality that their mind, their psyche, and their emotional life, are all chained to the past. For all intents and purposes, that person IS existing in a past reality.
