Time

[Socrates]

Would you agree that time is perhaps the most meaningful aspect of human experience?

I find Heideggers' term 'Dasein' to be very revealing in regards to meaning and time.

Being-There or There-Being, as opposed to Being-Here, defines not a static point, but a pointing-away towards another position with a measurement of time.

I don't accept the existence of time as anything but a story people tell children using clocks and digital devices.

You experience a number showing on a device then you experience the idea that it is different now.

People believe that it runs on a regular ever moving schedule, that the cosmos are like a clock. What an imagination!

At any moment you yourself can be transformed and see that it says such and such date and such and such time and such and such people and you are such and such and access now or think or be told you have done this or that and are thus this or that, just like a dream.

Time can not be accessed except as part of stories that are told or experienced through apparent or supposed change through what we call memories which exist only now or ever now.

Time is arbitrary, Change as in Apparent or Supposed Change seems Necessary for Experience or Being.

For sure, there is only 'now', strictly speaking, but our life is centered around our impending demise.

I comfort myself a little in the belief that I am not like I was before supposedly, what I was apparently doing a moment ago or was is now gone, so dead, and I will be alive wherever there is madness which is anything at all whatsoever since all things are unconditioned and baseless from the start.

I take some pride in the ability to die or change, but then again I might like to also be confident and fearless in the knowledge of stability and control and safety, the things a creature can never truly have except in ignorance.

Looks like it is the forums' time! It is the finest hour of OPF!

I wrote about Time today or linked to it through an Islam Hate thread on Wizard Forums by mentioning Mahakala or Kal.
