Brahmabhūta (ब्रह्मभूत) is a Sanskrit term that means “one who has realized Brahman” or “one who is spiritually liberated.” It is often used in Hindu philosophy, particularly in the Bhagavad Gita (18.54), where it describes a state of self-realization and detachment from material concerns. A person who is Brahmabhūta is free from lamentation (śhoka) and desire (kāṅkṣā), experiencing inner peace and seeing all beings as equal.
Experiencing the ‘present’ is in fact to be outside the time and space.
It cannot even be called as an experience as experience moves in time and space.
Present is the only experience that is there. Past and future are experienced as thoughts only in the present.
And this present does not still for a moment, for us to ‘experience’.
It is fleeting, and there is never a single ‘still’ microsecond.
By the time you realise this moment, you are already in the next one, and so on. It never pauses for a second, for you to claim it as an experience in the present moment.
The ‘present’ that you mean is ‘ever-present’, never becomes past, and is realised only when the mind is still, for the mind is what moves in time and space.
This ‘present’ is mind-free stillness, which is experienced (for lack of a word) as pure awareness.

The moment is me experiencing me in the moment wherever that is and whatever time it is even when I’m asleep.

the theory that consciousness is fundamental — in a succinct form, check out the book ‘Idealism in a Nutshell’ by Bernardo Kastrup, or any of his recent work. Bernardo isn’t the only cognizant idealist, but perhaps the most eloquent in present times.
