or could it have been that it is PRE-SENT to us from a "higher authority"

No, but I really like that sentiment..Ever since I almost died I treat each new day as a gift. It really makes a difference in how you view and live your life.

I don't think so.

currently happening: taking place or existing now [13th century. Via French< Latin praesent-, present participle of praeesse "be in front of" < esse "be"] http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861737156 Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin praesent-, praesens, from present participle of praeesse to be before one, from prae- pre- + esse to be http://www.m-w.com/dictionary

The present is all that exists. The past is our memory and the future our imagination. The present is the entire universe in flux, and we are part of the universe that is aware of itself. You and I are the same in that respect. We are one.
