By the time you make up your mind to say, 'Now!' and transmit the impulse to your vocal organs, and utter the word, the original present moment is part of the past. The knife edge has gone over it. Most people think they know only the present; what they know is the past, which they have already experienced, or read about. The difference with me is that I can see what's on both sides of the knife edge." BY THE TIME YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO SAY NOW AND TRANSMIT THE IMPULSE TO YOUR VOCAL ORGANS AND UTTER THE WORD THE ORIGINAL PRESENT MOMENT IS PART OF THE PAST THE KNIFE EDGE HAS GONE OVER IT MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW ONLY THE PRESENT WHAT THEY KNOW IS THE PAST WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED OR READ ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE WITH ME IS THAT I CAN SEE WHAT'S ON BOTH SIDES OF THE KNIFE EDGE

That left me with the alternatives of delusion or precognition, and if I ever came near going crazy, it was before the _Kilroy_ landed and the news was released. After that, I knew which it was." "And yet, you can't explain how you can have real knowledge of a thing before it happens. Before it exists," Weill said. "I really don't need to. I'm satisfied with knowing that I know. But if you want me to furnish a theory, let's say that all these things really do exist, in the past or in the future, and that the present is just a moving knife-edge that separates the two. You can't even indicate the present.
