[@mellowbirds4777]

Tanja Grundmann It’s very poetic and probably is a good theory too but your actual life is very simple because it is made of vision, sound, space, emotion and other feeling, taste, sight and sound and feelings in memory, such as thoughts. That’s about it. Tell me if I missed something. So if you get into all this finite mind stuff you’re not appreciating the direct nature of reality but instead are in a poetical frame of mind and seeking more of the same beauty probably while missing the very obvious basic unromantic reality of your life. Human reality is made of those dimensions I said, obviously. That’s it. It need not have any story attached of any kind. Just notice that all there is is this. Emotions in space and maybe of that space.

The analogy of an ever existing space to describe an ever existing “now” is one I’ve never heard before ... and one I’ll never forget. Absolutely Brilliant!

[@johnnywlittle]

This is one of my favorite interactions and inquiries, in addition to the topic itself. This guy is just so sincere and like Rupert says, doesn’t just lay down (like so many). It’s what true inquiry is with truth and understanding of current experience to guide the way. Truly enjoyed and rewatch it just for fun.

I had a strong experience with time. I remember clearly that when i was doing my personal and secret prayer in my bedroom, i am christian, i had a close contact with God and stayed there praying for at least 4 hours but after the prayer has an end it just seemed that it just lasted 30 minutes and i didin't feel tired...amazing experience with time. It seems that i was able to cross the line of the cronos time entering into another reality of time. 4 hours seemed to me 30 minutes. amazing!!

[@chorolpa]

Being aware of the existence itself, and hearing Rupert talk I exactly feel/understand what he is trying to explain the so called thing named 'Time', one needs to be self-aware to understand this talk. It's beautiful/enlightening talk.

[@newearthpouya]

There is no time between the moment of your birth and the moment of your death :) They both happen in the same eternal now. Love this :D

Yup. Time cannot be measured. We are all eternal. Some of us have one spiritual death left and some a physical. According to Isaac Newton at least.

[@bildencarlia6924]

@@mellowbirds4777 A special mechanism collects data from everyday experiences and stores them in order to be used when there is real need-therefore all the memory that is gathered has a survival role to play when the time is right.However althought this is a truly precious mechanism to safeguard our very life,yet it has become a serious problem nowadays since most people wrongly identify themselves with this mechanism-call it mind or brain if you wish-and in this way people live their lives in the psycogical enviroment of the brain rather than experience the existential reality of the present moment...

Beautiful. I really found the analogy of time and space helpful. Like we are meeting in the same space at different time, we are experiencing in the same time, always in the now.

[@macbeavers6938]

Time is an accumulation of "nows". In the spirit world there is no past or future but there definitely is in this realm. This is one of the key reasons we incarnate.

[@johnwat7825]

I had a dream where I was being shown an experience I had lived through, And in the dream I was made to repeatedly live through that expeience multiple times, actually reliving each vantage point of the experience with my original perception, but also knowing that this was a review that I was having. The amazing thing was that every moment and situation was available to me in its full manifestation. I was right back there experiencing it in its newness. This experience supports the notion of the permanent Now, with the current moment being the act of reading a part of narrative sequence, which in a way exists independently of my awareness. Another time I lost my memory while climbing up a mountain with a friend. I couldn’t remember how I got there or what had happened while getting there. Neither could I remember simple things like who the prime minister was or how old I was. I could remember people and names. When I enquired of my friend what happened he pointed out some events, which I had a faint memory of, but my memory was that they had happened months and years earlier. My organisation of time had been disrupted by some sort of mini stroke, and the experience had become an orphan which my memory had misplaced.

[@mcgyver62]

[@lindaross783]

I had an experience once of an explosive Now moment that was "my life, the whole of the finite life". Then I was quickly aware that duality was created in time so the localized perception of the experience of " my life " could be understood. It looked like a triangle. So hard to put into words but Rupert just did. That's what I experienced. Words are so inadequate.

[@brunosalonen7271]

Thanks for the new perspective Rupert - you have a way of verbalising seemingly difficult concepts in a way that just 'gets' to me. In this topic I think the concept of entropy should be noted. I believe it's entropy itself (the natural breaking down of structures, cells, things around us) that tells us that time is passing - we seemingly get from Point A to Point B by the bridge of entropy when we observe a system (like a human being). Point A is my birth and Point B is my death, and entropy is the defining process between the two - empirically we can even plot Time on an axis with another variable like human Age. Empirically this makes sense to me - but I'm beginning to understand that just because we see patterns of entropy which are constant, this doesn't signify time, but that a natural 'intelligence' drives patterns in the world around us, and that these patterns can only be apparent in the present - which is all there is. Would love to hear someone else's take on this. Thanks a million

It just struck me that time is similar to how he describes the mind. Just as there is no bucket called the mind which holds all thoughts; there is only the current thought. There is also no bucket called time that holds all events. There is just the current event

[@rajendrannair7981]

No matter how much Rupert tries to explain the great truths they are still beyond the grasp of ordinary people. The great truths like 'aham braham asmi' is to realised and not to be understood. Everything becomes clear once realised.Anyways thanks to Rupert for trying

For the first time (pun intended) I have caught a glimpse of an understanding that has eluded me about time and awareness. I have puzzled over - 'how can there be awareness present if there is no sense of time passing'... as in the unconscious state of anesthesiology. I have heard teachers say that awareness is always there, it is still there, even though we have no consciousness of it or memory of time passing. I will also listen to this repeatedly. The Gecko tails of new questions have arisen.

Even the current moment is a compilation of past and future. Even a millisecond is a moment between two milliseconds. There is just now and now is not time. It’s the ever present substrate so to speak in which time is perceived to be upon.
