Time is an actual dimension according to the laws of physics.
Have you ever experienced any other time but now?
You are never not now - you are always present.
But I did experience last week, two years ago, etc...and yet I am always present, too.

Nothing could not exist unless the Idea of Something also existed to define it. It's an impossible paradox to overcome.
The only reason humans exist is to define God (as our creator). It has no idea what it is without our attempts to describe its OWN beingness. This is a selfish act on its part but you know we were the creation it decided upon ulimately as its interpreter; (insects did not pass muster apparently).
Why would we need to define a Creator if a Creator existed already in a definite form?
We are the last step in a mathematical equation of Ideas that went from the first 'Something' that manifested itself as an Idea to the Idea of Nothing that manifested in Minds.
We don't have to define it. We are being used to define Itself to Itself. We are God existing in a definite form as individualized parts of itself. We probably are the last step FINAL in its imperfect expression of itself as perfection is not attainable.
But for what purpose? A creator could not exist in an indefinite form -- it would just be a mish-mash of possible Ideas. I guess I am missing what purpose would cause us to have to define a Creator that is already defined.

That is the remembrance of an event is all experienced as "now I just reinterpreted" and redesign that experience to make more sense. Its normal to do this (those memories need doctoring).

You answered your own question. A creator (if thought so to be) cannot exist in a vacuum. Creator was never defined until it stepped out of that vacuum and created a mirror for itself (the human) that reacted/questioned the reason for its creation and who created it.

Your are intellectualizing, which is why you are enmeshed in a the dualistic consciousness and involved with argumentation of opposite logic pairs. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. Its can only be apprehended through direct experience. It is beyond being, non being, somethingness, nothingness. The pairs descended two by two into Noah's Ark.

But Time is unbroken. I didn't just suddenly remember or reinterpret it. It never changed from the moment the time passed.

A memory is a memory of a memory, but is it real?
What came first
vhb:You answered your own question. A creator (if thought so to be) cannot exist in a vacuum. Creator was never defined until it stepped out of that vacuum and created a mirror for itself (the human) that reacted/questioned the reason for its creation and who created it.
MothrMayEye:If it exists, then it is definable. With or without a Mind to define it, react to it, or question it.
Pluto didn't need a Mind to define it, react to it, or question it before it was in the definable form in which Minds first perceived it.

There is no such thing as nothing period!
Correct.
But, none-the-less, the Idea of Nothing had to manifest because you cannot have an Idea of Something without an Idea of Nothing to compare it to.

I don't know about comparing, as there is Nothing to compare, to me it would be, with out the perspective of the Something, the Nothing, could not, not exist.
Plus with the vastness of the Something, where else could you ever put it.
There is Nothing to compare, how could Nothing be everything, all it is void.

Nothing is what Something is not. As long as there is Something, there is Something to compare to Nothing -- It is everything Something is not.
