"Wake" by Robert Sawyer

What an awesome beginning to a book!

"Not darknessss, for that implies an understanding of light.
   Not silence, for that suggests a familiarity with sound.
   Not loneliness, for that requires knowledge of others.
   But still, faintly, so tenuous that if it were any less it wouldn't exist at all: awareness.
Nothing more than that. Just awareness--a vague, ethereal sense of being.
   Being...but not becoming. No marking of time, no past or future--only an endless, featureless now, and, just barely there in that boundless moment, inchoate and raw, the dawning of perception..."

The "here" is everywhere, and the now always. Go beyond the "I-am-the-body" idea and you will find that space and time are in you and not you in space and time. Once you have understood this, the main obstacle to realization is removed.
