What is time—objective reality or a construct of the mind?
- Time doesn’t exist, there is no Future or Past. There is only The Present.
Nature of Time
Is time something that exists independently of us, or is it just a construct of human consciousness?
- It depends on the human’s counsciousness/experience. Time is relative, relative to us. That’s why sometimes time seems to go by fast and sometimes very slow.
Does time “flow,” or is it we who move through a static timeless reality?
- I don’t see time as something that flows independently.
- Time is a mental framework applied to successive, impermanent moments.
- In ultimate reality, there is no flow — only timeless, momentary phenomena arising and ceasing.
If time didn’t exist, would change still be possible?
- Change i.e. non-permanence is time itself.
Perception of Time
Why does time feel like it passes at different speeds depending on our experiences?
- Because experience is consciousness and it depends on concentration (also called singularity).
- Time is relative to your concentration (singularity). Just like time is distorted near high gravity(concentration) objects, similarly time distorts near high concentration behaviour/experience/consciusness.
- For ex. Time moves fast when playing games (high concentration/singularity), and time moves slow when doing a non-interesting thing like studying.
Is the “present moment” real, or only a boundary between past and future?
- The only moment that is real is the Present, the past and the future are merely illusions.
Do animals or plants experience time in the same way we do?
- Probably, yes.
Physics and Time
If time is relative (as Einstein showed), does that mean “past” and “future” are illusions?
- Yes.
Could time exist without space, or are they inseparably bound?
- Space-Time is a single thing, not seperate ones.
Is the arrow of time (past → future) just an effect of entropy, or something deeper?
- While it certainly is an effort of entropy, the arrow of time is also an effect of experience (consciousness/awareness) and concentration (singulrity).
Ethics and Time
If we only live in the present, what responsibility do we have to the past and the future?
-The past and the future are the present gone and the present yet to come, so we have equal responsibility for the past and the future, just like the present.
Do we own our time, or does time own us?
- Both.
Is wasting time a moral failure, or just a matter of perspective?
- Both.
Existential & Spiritual Questions
Does immortality make time meaningless, or infinitely precious?
- Immortality is only meaningful when there is true unconditionnal Love, so that’s what makes it meaningless or infinitely precious.
Is eternity outside time, or an infinite extension of it?
- The current hypothesis is that Eternity is an aspect of time.
If we could step outside of time and see all events at once, would concepts like “choice” and “freedom” still matter?
- Yes, they always matter.
Personal Reflection
What is more real: the memory of a past moment, or the feeling of the present?
- Both.
Does our sense of identity depend on time passing, or would we still “be ourselves” in timelessness?
- There is no permanent sense of identity, whether in time or timelessness.
- Our identity is made up of Memory + Desires,they exist on time passing and they would still exist in timelessness.
Can love or meaning exist outside of time?
- Absolutely because, true love is unconfitionnal. It exists outside space-time-gravity.
