"Quantum studies are showing science, at the fundamental level, that our concept of time as thought of as a linear passage of events is totally wide of the mark, and in fact there is no mark. All points of reference are arbitrary, they are conveniences, they are non existent in fundamental reality." This is an easy to understand article, but you won't read it, what's the point. Time is not what you think it is. Understand this and it will change your life. https://larrygmaguire.com/does-time-exist/ If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

When I say change your life, I mean slow you down, it makes you question everything. Especially religion. Lets look at a chain of events in what we call time. We think we see a creation so we invent a creator. This creator (we invented) must have a purpose, so we invent that also. He created the whole universe just to test us! And because we're stuck in linear time, we assume that's all there is. So we face eternal rewards or punishments from our invented god for passing or not passing his ridiculous test (that we invented). Get rid of our concept of time and this is seen for the silly game it is. It's why so called wise men sit in meditation for 20 years, to see the universe and time for what it really is. A construct of our consciousness. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I guess it might be more clear if I say moments of history or time up to the moment we currently call "now" are all contingent on past moments in time or history. I understand if we talk about time as another dimension and define it in physics we can easily lose hold of a very simple and straightforward point. If you have a huge tower of blocks and each block represents a moment in history then you can clearly see that the blocks depend on the blocks underneath them. This cannot be true forever. Eventually you need to have something upon which ALL the blocks rest. If you don't have this foundation then I think you can see that none of the blocks can stand. I hope that makes more sense and gets us away from the confusing different definitions of time that people can have. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Again, you have a false premise. The blocks are only connected in your brain, not in reality. They have no existence except in your head. It's how your brain makes sense of things to exist here. It stops you from touching the hot stove every day to always relearn the same lesson. Don't read anything more to it than that or you'll join some silly cult religion. Oops, too late.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

We could build a Gordian knot with this, you know. BTW, time is linear and flows only in one direction. It just doesn't flow at the same rate everywhere. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Blame god, you blame or give him credit for everything else.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Oh, I get it, you're feeble attempt at the time thing. Like I said, don't think about it, you have better things to worry about. Like which side of Jesus you'll be sitting on.. lol If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
