One of my favourite quotes from Abraham Hicks is, “Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.”
I think our experience of time is just like characters in a book. We experience our stories sentence by sentence, page by page, chapter by chapter. But the same way that I can hold a book in my hand, a characters complete story, and jump from chapter 53 to chapter 3, there could very well be beings that can see the entirety of our lives. These beings live outside our notion of time the same way we live outside of characters book.
There’s no reason to think that every being in our universe experiences reality the same way we do
Where is the present? Is it what we see realized physically around us or is it what we feel inside? Is the present external or internal?
I’ve heard and read physicist (including Albert Einstein, if I remember correctly) that time and space are an illusion. This is at once and appealing and a frightening notion
Is it possible that our brains are just like computers? Do our brains somehow take information, raw data, and present our conscious mind with the image of our 3D physical reality? This would be just like computers read binary, bits of 1s and 0s, and present an image of a flower on the monitor for us to see
One quote from Abraham Hicks that I love is “Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.” I suppose then that space is what keeps everything from being everywhere at once
Is the universe infinite? My mind can’t fathom infinite space. I need there to be an edge, boundary. I keep coming back to, “What’s on the other side?”
