One + Won = Now

In reading a mind, a famous set of brain scans illustrates two things: 1) a scanner can spot the difference between a brain recognizing a face and a brain recognizing a place and 2) imagining faces or places lights up the same brain regions as actually seeing them. How do we know anything for sure, if our brain cannot tell the difference between a real experience and an imagined one?

I understand that both experiences, as illustrated, take place in the now, the present moment. Jesus said "Ask and ye shall receive". He performed miracles as though they were the most ordinary experiences in human life. He made demands on an invisible power that no other man before had dared to make and this power honored his demand. His brain did not tell the difference between a real experience and an imagined one and honored his demand in the present moment. He placed no limits on his gift of awareness of who and what he continues to be, created in the image and likeness of the one life - of which I am one plus won equals now.
