Clarification on Time and What Creates it

reply to post by Itisnowagain


Awareness is the only thing that can exist, form is the separation of awareness.

Can awareness exist though?
Awareness exists by not existing.

Here is a video that tries to explain how awareness exists by not existing.

Basically, an awareness is an awareness(a) within an awareness(b).

Awareness (a) is the vaccuum of nothingness
Awareness (b) is the potentiality of somethingness

The original state of reality is pure infinite possiblity (i.e. everything).

When infinity coallesses upon itself, self-cancelling paradoxi generate the condition of nothingness that gives rise to the condition of awareness.

When a paradox is born, spiralling somethingness appears from the zone of unknowing, and it is the continuous stream of potential that creates form, and within that form is a singular awareness, the original paradox that is unsolvable because if it were then it would not be a paradox and we would not exist.

There is nothing but an illusionary experience. The illusionary experience is you.
That is all there is.
There can not be you aware of a grain of rice.
There is an experience. And then imagination uses words to try to make sense of what is happening.
The happening is happening and you are it.

I like this:

Namaste.

I have nothing to add.

The mind can not be separated from consciousness, it appears within it. It is seen though, not as the word 'mind' because this means nothing, it appears as one thought at a time. The mind (one thought at a time) is just experience happening.
There is just experience, like you said seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, but there is also an awareness of thoughts arising.
All seeing (only seeing), all knowing (only knowing), everpresent, and all powerful. The one and only you.

Time is a lie:
youtu.be...

Can we get back on topic ? what is time, what creates it.
It was a interesting topic, what makes it go faster and slower.

The question is what creates time?
Where has it gone off topic?

reply to post by Itisnowagain


It was interesting at the begining, it sort of drifted into something else.

Oh i see what you are getting at. Thats an interesting theory, i like it. Once people can grasp the fact that reality is an illusion then so much becomes clear, its not to say we do not perceive this reality as "the truth" (because we do, which is why we see, smell, hear, taste, and hurt) But in turn we are stuck inside of this "reality tunnel" and are having a difficult time to break free of that. Time just so happens to be one of the binding factors of the illusion that we cannot escape.

As I explained, time is a memory, however, when there is no motion, no sense of change (time being the rate of change that we perceive) then nothing exists when nothing changes.

To escape is to cease existing.

The final leap of faith.

Yes but according to you time should stand still, but it does not happen, when you sleep you loose perception, when you wake up it should be when you have went to bed, the same moment, same time, but it's not, you go to bed at night and you wake up in the morning, proving to you that time is still there doing it's job even if you are aware or not. I'd say when you are not aware time passes even faster.

When you sleep there is no memory, your out of conciosnes, same with a coma or other forms of black outs, no memory but you wake up later while time passes by you.

So maybe time is a little bit more than a perception.

Between a gap in awareness such as sleep, an individual experiences a sudden change in thier environment upon being awoken, thier perception of time was at the instant they had fallen asleep to the instant that they had woken up.

The continuous changes in the environment as observed by others whom were awake had also progressed, however, despite changes to the observable environment, the time that the individual whom was asleep experienced was more or less uninterrupted, and from their point of view, excluding the knowledge that time in the measurable, "hypothetical third-person" had changed, thier reality had suddenly shifted.

If we take that concept to a very very minute level, then every single motion that we observe is the same as falling asleep and waking up in infintesimally small intervals.

The gap is so small that we observe a fluidity in motion, however, there could be numerable events that occured between each fractional moment that we are generally oblivious to.

In realities, hypothetically, that are not bound by a "master clock" (owing to genetic constuction, or shared perceptions of time) - there is no measurable "reality", and each experience of time and space is radically different to the next.

The fact that we are aware at all means that, although we can experience gaps in awareness, we will never actually cease to be aware as it is only the knowledge that others were aware when we were unaware that constitutes the perception of mortality.

it's all very simple. everything is a paradox. was there ever a beginning to time? no. it may be hard to imagine no beginning, since we think that all we know had to start somewhere, but there is no beginning without an end, and vice versa. the universe is everything and nothing AT THE SAME TIME. reality and illusion exist because they each do. there's plenty of time to waste tying your head in knots thinking about superficial trivialities, but all that you need to know you will find that you already know.
the fact is that we know what is in front of our eyes, what we can sense with our senses, and that's as far as our knowledge of what is is. is that not enough?
the only way to know time is to love it, and enjoy it. the only way to travel through it(i think) is forward. how can we think of our actions, and materials as part of time? they would have to be if you were to travel back to the past wouldn't they? you can travel forward through time, if you are not selfish. it's your children and their children who will be there, isn't that satisfactory?
we are already traveling through time, day by day, second by second, according to it's laws, like space has its own laws.
like the taoist art of non-doing, the universe does everything by doing nothing, and you can know more through unlearning than you could ever learn from textbooks and teachers.
