I and Pari took Mary Jarvis's masterclass yesterday morning (5-5-18). She made a statement "present moment has no pain, no fear." Is this just a cute statement or does it have some heft? I have been pondering and haven't yet found an answer. The statement implies the pain we feel really belongs to a past moment or it is not really not there at all. There is always a very short time lag between a pain-causing event and perceiving pain. If the statement is reflecting just this fact, it is serving no meaningful purpose.
