Living in the past probably means that the mind is preoccupied with past events, so we talk of time in a psychological sense, but of course existence is present in terms of its conscious presence. If we contextualise that presence with time then we call it 'now'. If we contextualise that presence with being here, then we call it 'present'. Unsurprisingly then, the word 'present' takes on these two meanings - here & now
