 | term = present time
 | letter = P
 | def1 = the [[Glossary/time|time]] which is now and which becomes the [[Glossary/past|past]] almost as rapidly as it is observed. It is a [[Glossary/term|term]] loosely applied to the [[Glossary/environment|environment]] existing in now, as in "The [[Glossary/preclear|preclear]] came up to present [[Glossary/time|time]]," meaning the [[Glossary/preclear|preclear]] became aware of the existing [[Glossary/matter|matter]], [[Glossary/energy|energy]], [[Glossary/space|space]], and [[Glossary/time|time]] of now. The point on anyone's [[Glossary/time|time]] track where his physical [[Glossary/body|body]] (if alive) may be found. "Now."

 | def2 = when we say that somebody should be in present [[Glossary/time|time]] we mean he should be in [[Glossary/communication|communication]] with his [[Glossary/environment|environment]]. We mean, further, that he should be in [[Glossary/communication|communication]] with his [[Glossary/environment|environment]] as it exists, not as it existed.

 | def3 = a response to the continuous rhythm of the physical universe, resulting in a hereness in nowness.
 | def3_source = HCOB 15 May 63
 | def4 = the ground, sky, walls, objects, and people of the immediate [[Glossary/environment|environment]]. In other words, the anatomy of present [[Glossary/time|time]] is the anatomy of the room or area in which you are at the moment when you view it.
 | def4_source = PAB 35
 | def5 = a continuing [[Glossary/series|series]] of instants in which, moment to moment, [[Glossary/theta|theta]] goes on changing [[Glossary/mest|mest]].
 | def5_source = SOS, p. 36
 | def6 = an ever extending moment; and a person who is free on his [[Glossary/time|time]] track is generally in present [[Glossary/time|time]], moving forward through the consecutive moments of [[Glossary/time|time]].
 | def6_source = SOS, p. 102
 | def7 = an [[Glossary/arbitrary|arbitrary]] [[Glossary/time|time]], agreed upon, and is the same across a whole [[Glossary/universe|universe]]. It is the point of coincidence of three universes.
 | def7_source = PAB 29
 | def8 = people go out of present [[Glossary/time|time]] because they can't have the [[Glossary/mest|mest]] of present [[Glossary/time|time]], that's it. Present [[Glossary/time|time]] is only the referral point that exists. In its absence all becomes [[Glossary/bank|bank]]. (HCOB 29 Sept 60) Abbr. PT.
