"Time seems to stand right still, in a child's world it always will." Moody Blues
It's always right now. Time is an illusion. Finding oneself at a point in time or in space is illusory. Boundless consciousness is Reality. |

If time is an illusion, how do we schedule lunch?

Your being is perpetually a cycle of enormous activity that your mind encapsulates into one thing.
Similarly, the mind encapsulates time into segments. Most fundamentally, the beginning of my life to the end, equals "my" time. But it's always right now, in Reality. Time is similar to a calendar, people agree on the measures, similar to boundaries between nations, the boundaries don't really exist, neither is there a boundary in time. Reality is boundless and immeasurable, though, infinite in all directions. |

This is why I don't wear a watch... I don't wear a watch yet I'm always early for everything... I usually don't know what day it is because I just count how many days I've worked, then I know I have 3 off and it starts all over. I hate time and I especially hate daylight savings time... Yuck! Such restrictions on my freedom... All of ours really

We think alike on that Angel. It frustrated me my entire life that people had all these set ways of acting on certain days, puppet show stuff...

Normally I wouldn't condone feeding the beast here...
However, if a child grows up in the jungle having never known a thing about time.... would he never grow hungry.... No... he would eat when his brain tells him "hey lets get something to eat".... depending on what he ate... it would take a certain amount of energy to digest his food until he became hungry again.... what does any of this have to do with time???

Actually they get hungry because they ran out of the last lot of food, and the body is ready for more. This can take varying lengths of time. There may be no relation between this physiology and time. It is quite possible that time is still irrelevant to this process, but we are conditioned to see it as relevant. A.. |

There doesn't necessarily have to be a 'time' to eat... Just eat when you're hungry. I don't care what time of day it is, sure I'll have breakfast before dark and dinner when I get hungry... which will be later but I never know what time and I don't really care what time... it's when I'm hungry!

Personally... didn't think to research it because I highly doubt that groundhogs specifically come out of their hole on feb 2 of each year, but wait I will look it up

Here you go... I don't see anywhere where it specifically says Feb 2nd is the day groundhogs come out... I do read that they hibernate for 3 months yes, they also say they wake up early Feb... That could mean the 1st, 3rd or 4th... who knows perhaps depending on the weather it could be way earlier or later... Who knows and who cares, it just happens.

Show me (in simple terms and your own words) how time is an illusion. Please explain how the examples from nature I gave fit into the illusion and also please explain how the illusion applies to the limited days in a man's life. I do want to learn. It's just that, at the surface, it sounds like bunk. |
