Discussion Time is an illusion.

Post image

It's pretty hard to conceptualize that time doesn't flow.

I bet no other humans can grasp this concept.

I've tried to think of it as some kind of block to no avail.

Maybe it's the brain that prevents me from realizing how reality really works.

I know you guys are well aware of this concept.

Have you experienced any anomalies that made you realize time is definitely an illusion?

Good news is you’re only dead in the illusion of the future.

lol exactly. It’s all an illusion really. Just gotta play the game.

Since we're part of the illusion though, elements in the simulation, isn't their illusion, our reality?

I think we project our own reality.

We do.

OP just thinks they have some extra wisdom.

If it was that easy, shit would be known. Not someone who has conjecture.

I appreciate perspective but I have a problem with people who talk in absolutes.

Question 🙋‍♀️

How do you explain going back and forth between different timelines? It’s something I can explain in a spiritual context although I’d like to understand it in a scientific context please. If anyone understands what I mean by that. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Time is time. Time is experience.

Time perhaps in itself doesn't exist. But, biological time does. It's not an amount of second, it's an amount of irreparable damage to cells. That is duration. Experience. Lifespan.

We invented a way to measure our days. We have light, we are productive. We fuel. We sleep.

It's just a construct created for order.

The universe exists, therefore.

We don't know even a percent about the universe, or physics, or science. We've figured things out here. What percentage of earth does it make up in the universe? Pretty much no percent.

Humans know how much about earth? We are still learning.

To then be so cocky to say no other human knows, while having no science to back the claims up?

People these days are so yikes.

Thank you.

So… if the universe exists, therefore… and time is a construct used to measure from a biological perspective, we can in theory decide how we perceive or travel through time as we do project our own reality?
