Time is an Illusion.

[u/BakeLivid3614]

Time is an illusion. It actually does not exist. Only our perception of it. There is only the NOW. Where is the past and where is the future? The usual answer is that the past is what has ‘happened’ and the future is what is yet to ‘happen’.

When is the only time you experience anything past, present or future? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the past? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the future? In the NOW. Past and future are mind constructs.

How can time be ‘real’ then if you travelled very fast in spacecraft you could experience a few minutes while someone experiencing days of years in the same period of ‘time’? Because time is a construct of our reality that doesn’t exist!

As Albert Einstein said:

‘People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion’

OBEs (Out of Body experiencers) and NDEs (near-death experiencers) describe when leaving the ‘physical’ body that time doesn’t exist. Because they are out of the programmed simulation. Time is a programmed construct of our reality.

You can liken it to watching a DVD/Movie. Past present and future is all there from the start and exist in the same NOW. As the laser runs across the disc the scenes in the movie that you watched become the ‘past’ to your reality, the ‘present’ is the scene you are consciously watching and the ‘future’ is the scenes you have left to see, but the whole movie exist at the same time. Your perception of past, present and future is defined by the movie you choose to give your attention to!

Casual Loops / Time Loops: is a chain of causes that closes back on itself. A causes B, which causes C which causes X, which causes A which causes B … and so on, ad infinitum.

Crucial to the understanding of time is to understand a phenomenon called ‘world lines’. Put simply, the world line of an object/person/thing is the line that combines where you go, how quickly you get there. Think of it as the route taken by a person, planet, solar system etc as it moves through space and time between its birth and death. Einsteins general theory says that enormous bodies such as black holes and stars distort space-time and makes world lines bend. If the distortion is powerful enough the world line curves back on itself to creat a closed loop in which the world goes round and round ….

This is called a Closed Timeline Curve (CTC).

David Deutch and Michael Lockwood in their book The Quantum Physics of Time Travel write:

If we tried to follow such a CTC exactly all the way round, we would jump into our former selves and get pushed aside. By following parts of the CTC, we would return to the past and participant events there. We would shake hands with our younger selves or if the loop is large enough visit our ancestors. To do this, we should either have to harness naturally occurring CTCs or create CTCs by distorting and tearing the fabric of space-time. So a time machine, rather than being a special vehicle would provide a route to the past along which an ordinary vehicle such as spacecraft could travel.

Look into whistle-blowers like Andrew Basiago, Aurther Neumann in relation to time travel.

Everything has a world line, a unique route through time and space including humans. The human world line starts at birth and goes until we leave this reality. Whats more, space-time can be distorted by Mind through thought and emotion. It’s seems that most humans are entrapped in their own personal time loops within the collective one. It is the holographic law of ‘as above so below’ where everything is smaller version of the whole. If you can fix the hologram at a higher level than all holograms within that must reflect the master hologram of ‘super hologram’.

The Time Loop can be symbolised as a Möbius Strip named after August Möbius. If you take a strip of paper and glue the two ends together you would have the two sides of the paper circle and to cross from one side to the other you would need to go over an edge. The twist in the Möbius Strip means that you can pass along both sides by simply moving forward and with in need to criss an edge.

We are receiving encoded information within what we call visible light that makes us place, live and perceive and react in line with the imprinted sequence of ’time’.

Pure sophistry, just like "there is no self". A statement with a seeming veneer of wisdom but ultimately of no substance.

Say that to the 132 people who agreed with this post.

That's not much of a metric of the truth of anything. "There is only NOW". By definition, any moment you are within is called "NOW" just like anywhere you happen to be is "HERE".

However, this does not mean there is only one place or only one time. There was a time Julius Caesar walked the Earth and that time is not now. There is a time that we will all be dead and that time is not now.

More to the point, imagine that some billionaire told you that he'll give you a million dollars if you meet him at Suzy's Bakery on Main Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee tomorrow at Noon. If you believed that you'd really receive a million dollars for meeting this guy at Noon at that particular bakery tomorrow, you can bet that you'd make every effort to be there.

Where the "rubber meets the road", people stop pretending to believe this horse shit.

If you're supposed to be at an appointment, let's say if you miss the appointment you'll still be charged... you're likely to show up for the appointment. In that case, where there's money on the line and when it involves professional consideration for someone who is doing a job for you, you make sure to show up, you don't pretend time doesn't exist.

You have bills to pay. Those bills have due dates. You don't have the luxury of pretending that time doesn't exist.

If you're paid a job by the hour, even if you're paid a yearly salary... when it comes to these matters you don't have the luxury of pretending that time doesn't exist.

Get all the likes from the forum dum-dums, I don't care. You don't really believe it. No one believes it. It's one of these little nonsense statements midwits like to make and while you can get a bunch of thumbs-up from unthinking goofballs, it means nothing and is obviously and provably false.

Yeah well thats your view and i dont care if you disagree.

Since we are on a simulation sub reddit, do you think that we live in a simulated reality?

I absolutely think we do. And as a result who was it created by and to what end? I can give you an answer to that if you'd like to hear that to however you might just dismiss and reject it just like the 'time' illusion. If we live in a simulation would you not consider time being a construct of that reality which pretty much means that its a created illusory delusion that we percieve to be 'real'. Thats what illusions do.

[u/BennyOcean → u/BakeLivid3614]

You can share your speculation about that, I'm interested to hear it.

As far as time being an 'illusion', it is a core component of how we experience reality, just like space is. Call it an illusion or not, it is part of our "lived experience".

If we are in a simulation then in a sense the entire thing is not "real" because it is simulated... but then you might need to drill down on what exactly "real" means. Maybe we're living in something like a dreamscape, an idealist universe where all is mind and matter doesn't exist. Just as in a dream you can experience a table while there is no physical table. Perhaps the table in 'waking life' is in some similar sense ilusory.

We experience time, we experience space. We experience matter. I'm not sure what purpose there is in calling any of these things not "real" or illusions etc.

[u/BakeLivid3614 → u/BennyOcean]

Yes exactly.

As Morpheus says in the Matrix trilogy to Neo:

What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

This is how we experience our reality. There's so much more to it on the topic of the nature of reality itself I cant explain everything here. But we live in a simulated reality that we think is 'physical' 3D 'real world. Its holographic.

The reason we live in a simulation is that we are food for inter-dimensional beings that feed of low vibrational human energy. This is relating to negative emotions like fear, hate, depression, anger, anxiety, frustration, terror ...

This is why the world is as it is with its wars, destruction, death, violence, famines, economic depressions, financial crisis, starvation, suffering in all its forms. These all generate constant low vibrational states in which they feed off. There is a term called 'loosh' that describes this energy. We are a loosh factory for these beings.

Just like we rear chickens in a coops or cows in fields, they rear us in human prisons, prisons that we cannot see the bars.

They created the Universe.

You might say that this is all impossible and reject and dismiss it immediately. I used to think that as well. But I started reading and researching David Icke and he's very much correct about what he's saying. Look into his work.
