I think we're in agreement..........but you understand that the present moment is not divided from the past and future, right? To be most accurate, you are everything, and everything is more than just the present.

and not in a spatial sense, as commonly understood: oneness does not mean expanding to the size of the universe, it means residing in the present, where I am that.

We cannot be essentially defined as separate from all others. We are existing, as all others are existing. They are produced in our minds, and therefore are part of us; the reverse also applies. If I kill a bee with the apparent intent to sting me before it actually does, there is no way of knowing if the 'thought' even entered the mind of the bee. Just as there is no way of knowing that I am different than you, and you than I.
