You are correct in asserting that there is even awareness of thought/thinking (the past), but when engaged in thought/thinking the awareness is confined to the boundaries of that thought, which is of the past, and so it is said that the awareness is of the past.

"This Moment MUST come FROM sum where, sum thing?"
MUST it? You are assuming because you have not looked deep enough. 'This' moment of time is called 'now', and 'this' location is 'here', i know you like math so if you add now and here together you get nowhere. From nowhere nothing is seen by no one.
'Something' never was and never will be.
Nothing is all there is.
Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

If only you could understand this you would know the truth.

All things are kNot lacking any inherent nature, you just aren't looking with the wrong eYe.
Emptiness is an illusion, just as the half-empty glass is an illusion.

You're creating a false dichotomy here. "Wrong." "Illusion." These are conceptual projections, based on dualistic assumptions.

But dualistic is illusionary to begin with, sew where does your illusion end?

I assert neither "illusion" nor "reality." I merely undo within myself, and help others to undo within themSelves, claims based on assumptions. There is nothing to be found, only assumptions to be lost. What is left when you remove all assertions?
