My sense when I read your words is that you are mistaking the elemental tamas associated with your thoughts with what Now is. Now lasts for less time than it takes to write the word, and encompasses all of the change, stability, upliftment, etc. that you want it to have. Now is a singularity in the midst of any direction of time and space you wish it to go. What is being said here is that to stand in Now and projecting it to a more perfect Then, does Now a disservice. This stickiness or tamas associated with thinking about Now is a natural function of ownership of thoughts, and conclusions, and suppositions. You see moving from that [tamas] as a great accomplishment, vs. staying with it something dead and sluggish. This view is due to the ownership of thoughts, and the desire for sattva/rajas to move away from that ownership, vs. an accurate picture of the perfection of Now. But seen from the perspective of a free mind this movement from Now to Then is not seen as desirable; Now is the true realm of all possibilities, whereas the desire to be Then is nothing more than an illusion.:-)
