Time is just another dimension similar to the three dimensions we can consciously move around. The difference is that we move through time in one specific direction at a pretty much continuous speed but its just an idea a megerment to put things,experiences... in some sort of order we can not touch it smell it... but yet all of us can feel it so we life by its rules. The past does not exist it is gone future does not exist it haves not yet arrived I thought that was the illusion of time but the present is solid real. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future - concentrate your mind on the present moment. But what is the present moment the 5 senses that ur brain registers to create self and environment awareness like 1 picture of camcorder which records more that just visual and audio information. Trouble is the moment this picture is captured the time haves moved forward which puts the picture in the past that does not exist. So the brain takes another picture trying to exist in the present but yet again the very instant it is taken that time frame becomes obsolete so on it goes theres only the story that is being written no past no present no future. I mean what if someone would remove a brain from a new born human place it in a jar connect it to some sort of life support system and let it life. Surely time its self would not by part of hes life would hes hole life seem just like one continues present moment. Would the brain be conscious without external sound,visual... inputs and idea of time from our world. Does this mean that all unconscious matter and empty space in the universe is outside of time or is it that just we conscious life are inside of time which only exists in side our minds do we all life only in our own dreams which are fueled by our collective consciousness. I don't know u tell me the collective consciousness of my dream.
