Time is a perceptual artifact that comes from our attachment to the mind and the five senses as 'me'.

The past is a string of memories and the future is those memories projected forward as expectation.

The only place is Now, encompassed within Eternity.

To know this as an experiential reality try and move beyond your attachment to form. Form comes and goes as if a perceptual holograph and creates the illusion of something passing before you. Seek and you shall find that there is an infinite stillness from which all form arises and that is not different from what you Truly are.

Having drunk the glitter juice of the Upper Amazon more than once I see NOW as a gateway to the infinite; just rip through the veil. It takes practice and trust. It's sad this Kulture holds a lock on gateways. Anyone over twelve ought to have the option and anyone over 26 ought to be required to rip it.

The extra dimensions are necessary.

Time is aRt.

Bu our human concept we do from a sequence of events based on OUR definition of Time. But to the Universal law Time I think is relevent to it own sequence. A thousand years to US could pass by in one day in the Universe. Life is Art. Time is aRt.

Everythng that moves, breathes and that lives are all wavelengths of different proportions. Some resonate very long.... some resonate very short. A star is an example of pure art. Pure Time. The time it takes for a star to form is expereinced differently by that star, then to us. So yes, our calculation of the Time for a stars creation is based on our own human concept according to the limitations of our understanding. Yet, there is a 'formation' that does take place. That is a reality. There are different band waves that interact accrodingly to create that star. We feel band waves, differently than a star, or even a lizard perhaps. WHen we say it talkes thousands of years to form a star, that is OUR percetpion. To the Universe it may be just one day, and again that is my perception.

All in all, no matter what length we describe creation as being, or what length a day (passing of our planet by the Sun) is or what length the Universe is feeling, there is a series of events that take place for creation to exist. For me (and mamny) creation is the everytihng, is pure art. So for me, Time is Art.

A phenomenon of Time is that it (we) are all happening at once. When someone asks me the question, "SO whats happening?" I always say, "...everything at once."

A good example of everyting being in the now is this;

When we look into the Universe at night and behold the many stars, we are also looking into the past, right Now. Many of the stars that we 'see' have long since died, so we are indeed experiencing, at tleast the past, in the now... yet at the same time the furture is yet to come. If the future is happening right now, its just alittle more difficult for us to see. Life truly is a paradox.

More stars are yet to be born, and great shifts are yet to take place. But everything that we are is based on Now. Today is yesterdays tomorrow.

One thing I know for sure is that Time is NOT money. Time is aRt.

Thank you for the thought-provoking questions, I love it.

A helpful thing to remember about "Time" is that it is inseperable from "space". The simplest definition of time is the "rate of change" of some sort of object, clock, hourglass, radioactive substance, whatever. And change involves movement through space. The clock hands move, the sand falls, everything in the universe is constantly moving, Always. Therefore, you never have a scenario where "time" is passing, yet nothing is moving.

Since you always have "time" with some sort of movement through space, science communities use the term "space-time" to talk about either. No movement without time, no time without movement.

Time is also coupled with what's called "entropy" which can be hard to explain.. Basically it's that "disorder increases with time", or "order decreases with time." Things 'lose' energy (through friction, heat, whatever) with time, they don't 'gain' it (without something else 'losing' more). It ties in to order in the classic example of a mug shattering. It's a lot easier for a mug to shatter onto the floor, than it is for a shattered mug to "become whole" again.

So, if you think of time as being coupled with "movement": everything in the universe is moving, movement takes energy, things use energy as they move, or time goes 'forward' as things 'lose' energy.

As long as things in the universe are still moving, time will still be going forward.

Hope this isn't confusing or too light on the subject...couldn't think of a quick way to explain it without filling up pages. Hope it helps some of your thinkings about time!
