To me there's one major thing to consider, and that's identification to the experience of that state. Is it of mind or beyond mind. From a meditative perspective is it focused or open.

If I remember correctly, The Power Of Now indirectly points to a non-dual state - or no-separation sensibility - but it’s wrapped up in a package which can reinforce the sense of doership - all this efforting to be in the now etc. So I think that it subtly keeps a degree of reflectivity (and its attendant me-ing) in place.

Ordinarily (and reflectively) we sense ourselves as the center of things - and existence, the cosmos, this… that’s going on, as something secondary that happens around us. In the immediacy of the wide-awake real-time state there is a figure-ground reversal. The ‘me’ takes a back seat to the radiant sovereignty of THIS - as it is. You could say that me-ing gives way to Be-ing.
