We come from no thing and return to no thing there is nothing to know and is not important. Cherish life and find balance and harmony with all things now. Then it will all be settled not a question. Hi Ming Jen, It has been quite a while since our paths crossed. A great weekend. - Anand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wu Ming Jen Posted October 31, 2020 I just had a thought about time maybe, just maybe time exists and does not exists at the same time. That would be way too weird because keeping it in mind it has to be one way or the other we can not have both. How can we possible have time without time? It does not seem possible when we can not have one without the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old3bob Posted November 1, 2020 Wu Ming Jen, your previous question also brings to mind the question of being in two places at once, something which comes up now and then in various accounts, and one may wonder how could that be? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted November 1, 2020 Time is not a thing. Time does not travel, nor have a direction. Time does not 'exist' but seems to be a symptomatic funtion of human perceptual modeling. There is only the unfolding of awareness in presence which is always now. Time is how our human perceptual modeling processes and interprets the shifting of awareness in presence(to me). Time is not a thing.(to me) No one travels through time. Time has no direction. It is a symptom of our mind. A function of human memory and is based on our habitual comparison of memories and comparison of this shifting with current perceptual input. There is only awareness... unfolding in presence. There is now. Only now. There are no separate moments. All unfolds together... co-arising, co-reflecting... Indra's Net. Every thought anyone has ever had, unfolded now, as awareness in presence. Every thing you ever remember doing, you recall now, in awareness. Every time you plan for, or consider the future, you do so now. No separate moments in any of the above. Now is what is unfolding within awareness through presence. This is what is. Indra's Net, The Great Lotus... ever unfolding, never unfolded. There are no separate moments. All unfolds together... Time is the manner in which our perception processes and interprets the ever unfolding presence of awareness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not just two potential places at once. All places, all presence one has unfolded through awareness, ever. Spoiler as i experience it lately 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hide contents as i experience it lately ultimately agreed since ultimately there is only one of us... but there are still less than absolute cases related to accounts of particular forms in different places at the same time which have also been brought up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted November 1, 2020 Of course one can time travel ! I do it every moment , its a one way journey though . I dont agree with cancelling out time as it a human perception, I think it is something that exists even if humans where never extant . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics#Time_in_quantum_mechanics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
