Phenomena does move and age it is appearance in NOW

But then 'time' cannot be known to occur either without relating time to it's opposite which is the timeless. Rendering knowledge of time an illusory story, an appearance aka a dreamscape phenomena occuring within timeless nothingness, which is just another word for NOW
Remember, the mind can only use concepts to point to itself, which in itself is not a concept and is how concepts are KNOWN.
MIND is the non-conceptual knower of all concepts. In the same context, a finger is known only in relation to the one looking at the finger creating the concept of finger in the instant it is conceived as the finger is being looked upon within a seeing that cannot be seen, for the SEER is the SEEING looking upon itself as it conceives itself to be in this conception. The seer and seen must be presently ONE in the exact same moment...knowledge of ONE is KNOWN in this conception ONE is making appearing as duality.
For something to be known to move, there has to something that doesn't move to know movement, in that any knowledge of movement can only appear within that which doesn't move, else how would any concept be known at all? which is why movement is a fictional knowledge of the mind. The mind can only relate to itself, in knowing anything, mind is only referring to itself. Object is only ever subject objectifying itself. It's one with the knowing.It is only the mind that moves, in truth, there is no mind, so nothing is moving, it only appears to. Without a mind to know, nothing is known and the known know nothing. I am the knowing that cannot be known.

Only the dream of separation moves through time, aka knowledge.
The dreamer which is just another word for NOW doesn't live in time, it is outside of time it is the NOW in which the whole dream of separation is arising.
The point being made is there can be no such thing as a timeless NOW, because time is of a knowledge known. Time is a concept known, and that which is known cannot know anything because knower and known are ONE...which is just another word for NOW.
The NOW cannot be known or know itself because there is only ONE NOW knowing itself the only way it can know and that is within the dream of separation, in space time duality, the only place where knowledge of itself exists...albeit illusory.
In essence...
What appears to move, never not moves.
What appears to know, never not knows.
It's a paradox only in the sense that knowledge informs, therefore, knowledge informs the illusory nature of reality. In the sense that reality is ONE, not two, or many.
