A few reflections on "does time exist?"

well whatever is thinking, probably would realize its pointless being caged inside a limited host.
 
i still think the fourth state of matter is one huge counsiousness. and our body along with everything else runs off of it.

which would fall under everything you and i have said.

The trouble all comes from wanting contact with "other consciousnesses", and fearing the absence of such contact.
 
but really, its all part of the same shit.
cause ur brain is limited! you only have so many ways to percieve something. there is no soul if the universe of souls is taking turns interchanging itself incrementally, so you will always have part of the previous mixed in which is why you hold onto your past, and things appear to change.

i agree, everything is trying to tackle the same concept
it just takes one person to miss the concept. because they want others to find the 'answer' for them. but someone else's answer is just hope that yours is out there. they just have to seek it themselves to grasp it.

now that i found it all i can do is come up with metaphores for other people.
 
or they want it handed to them, and when it is, they cant relate, so they give up thinking theres only one way to do something rather than 6 billion+ ways.
 
My talk of "Time"

> Dedbeet,
>
> You are looking at time as a linear scale.

I'm looking at life as happening or occurring from moment to moment, in/as a
ceaseless stream.

The reason I look at it that way, is because that is the way it actually occurs.

My interest in discussing "nonduality" is looking at the way things actually
are. It's understood here that one is free to think about time, to imagine time.
There's no need to note that.

The fact that "time" occurs as a steady, ceaseless stream is *way* too obvious
to be obvious -- which is why I talk about it on nondual forums.

Everything "nondual" is so obvious that it constantly escapes the mind, which
ends up falling straight into dream and then suffering from its own nightmares.

Peace...
 
More timeless timing...

> ~~~There came a time when the same message

There mayhaps come a time when "there's no time for that now", and now there's
no time to get it back.

That's the time of the ending of time as anything actual.

That time is now, but if there's time for it to be a different time, it's not
that time yet.
 
Now exists. That is all.
Now exists if you don't mind the definition of existence to be "change", rather than staticity.

Thought likes its definition of existence as "static being that spans over time".

It don't apply to Now.

A physicist seeing the universe as atoms and molecules in constant movement would probably agree.
 
The crime of *real* time....

It's entirely just that it's sitting beside you already opened and read.

To talk about it arriving, of you going to the mailbox and getting it, etc. is
unjust, if such talk is taken seriously.

"What is", is always the impartial justice one never believed to exist.

Peace...

Change or stacicity, is the most enduring question out there. Just look at how the Eleatics and Heraclitus et al fomented the Ancient mind upon the same topic.

I for one would not be prepared to side 100 per cent with either ontology, for both laid out something which neither scientia nor philosophia have adequdetly answered yet, I don't see scientia doing so anytime soon.

True.

The attempt at continuity is the most persistent struggle... because "self" is the attempt to continue over time that keeps failing, and the mind can't see it.

The mind only imaginarily exists over a span of time. The mind is itself that ceaseless imagining and dreaming, and it never seems to clue in to why it's so important.

You see, the self existing in/as memory, the self that is *remembered* -- is not what is doing the remembering.

Peace...
