Time is Only an Illusion

Time, as we know it, is only an illusion. We usually think of time as having three parts - Past, Present, Future. But what is the Past - only a collection of memories. We can't experience the Past, we can only remember it. And we can only remember it in the Present (furthermore, our memories are noticeably unreliable). There is no objective thing that we call the Past; it can't be measured in any way; our only contact with it is in the Present.

And what is the Future - only a mental construct in the Present. We can't experience the Future until it "becomes" the Present. Until then it only a hope and dream. We can project what the Future may be like, but we are considerably less accurate than when we remember the Past. There is no objective thing that we call the Future; it can't be measured in any way; our only contact with it is in the Present.

That leaves us with only the Present - the ever changing Present. Time is an illusion we created to try and measure the rate of change of the Present. It's always NOW. But it's an ever changing NOW. In a effort to cope with the change, we have invented time. It's a handy mental device that helps us deal with the higher order derivatives of the rate of change.

Although the illusionary nature of time is the deep truth in this matter, it's not particularly practical. To be totally in harmony with this truth, you'd need to wear a watch that always said "now". But you'd be late for a lot of meetings....image

Yesterday

Old days Good times I remember Fun days Filled with simple pleasures Drive-in movies Comic books and blue jeans Howdy doody Baseball cards and birthdays Take me back To a world gone away Memories Seem like yesterday Old days Good times I remember Gold days Days Ill always treasure Funny faces Full of love and laughter Funny places Summer nights and streetcars Take me back To a world gone away Boyhood memories Seem like yesterday Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free Old days - days of magic still so close to me Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free Old days - days of magic still so close to me
