Worrying about your status quo would also occur in the present moment (NOW) you were doing that worrying would it not?
I don't mean to denigrate the practise that is advocated to get oneself into the NOW from wherever else one feels one might be (or have been told that they could be in), but merely to suggest to seekers that they are not somehow lacking if they have not achieved that yet and received the official stamp on the forehead which reads "permanently in the now".
Because there is a whole other view which suggests that the present moment (NOW) is all there is to be in and to be out of it is impossible, so none of us are lacking in that respect.
