Description
It's all happening right now, even what we believe to be the past… everything is in it's perspective "now" moment. We are living in a time where our present is defined by our surroundings, our era, ourselves…but this is merely our perception, and perception dear friends, can change. We are all telepathically communicating with one another, from the first ever instant, to the last ever instant…everything in between is us living, and like a domino effect, or a ripple…everything is a reaction, a branch of a centre, of the infinite all.We move through time, time does not pass, or stop, or go…'time' is just an appropriate name, given to a non-linear collection of every possibility.–– We move through it using our decisions as a vehicle, and we leave our footprint's in the sand, for as long as sand is sand.
Yesterday can't be our today, but yesterday still exists, it's still happening, and it's your today somewhere–– just not for the slightly adjusted 'you' we have become in our now instant. Today you are who you were a few hours ago–– plus one day, but the you of your yesterday is still getting through their now moment. Tomorrow's you is having a ripple effect on the you living 'in the perspective right now', ten years from this moment…it's all occurring simultaneously, we're just not simultaneously aware of it's synchronicity.
You see, we can never see them or feel like them, because we have to get through today to understand tomorrow, and we have to have had a yesterday to be here today…but don't doubt your eternal existence, for the mere fact that you remember your past, is proof enough that it is alive, and the fact that you wake up tomorrow, evidence of a future self.

This is amazing. I have had very similar thought processes, but could never formulate them into words. But you did it, and you did it perfectly! It is beautiful, and thought provoking, so well done my fellow person.

Very thought provoking piece...Cogito Ergo Sum - I think Therefore I am... Your piece is very similar to this idea... Possibly one of my favorite concepts too... although the counter concept to it is to question... How do you know you think? Ah... abstract reality concepts are guaranteed to give one a headache

ah dear.. we don't know anything
I guess we know we think, as much as we know we speak, it's just a one way conversation in our minds..
heeh thanks for reading

It's good to find a thread to hold on to. A guiding line that allows inner accord and accord with our lives. It is so difficult to maintain that accord. I think learning how to do that, not just in the here and now but recognising that how we behave in the now affects our ability to find it in the future is the art of life. Just my thoughts.

mm yes.. i agree..it's easy in theory but unfortunately not in practice. I think it goes hand in hand with awareness. When there is harmony in our awareness and we step back from our ego...therein lays true life. I think I have felt very fleeting instances of it, but I can't seem to hold on just yet..forever trying.
Thank you for reading..you have some powerful work x

You did it again. I love when you write these. From a scientific, theoretical quantum mechanics approach, this is exactly what the math proves. Every particle should be able to move forward and backward in time, and there is no logical reason that we can't. So why, I wonder, are we only capable of experiencing anything as "now"? The best answer is probability, and the observer effect. If we aren't looking closely, everything is in a state of "everywhereness." But when we look, we force probability to settle things into the state we observe them in. Which makes me wonder, who was observing everything before we got here? Sorry for the lengthy comment. This type of stuff really gets my brain fired up.

mmm interesting!!...perhaps nothing was observing, and like the proverbial tree, in that case was there anything to observe?? was everything.. nothing?
I think another answer is entropy.. I wrote something about the same thing a while ago and I'm sure you read it also.. "An example of entropy used to explain common occurrences in time and why there seems to be a direction forward–– if you are holding a book in your hand, all the pages are numbered and are all in a certain order, if you were to rip all the pages out and throw them up in the air, you will have a huge mess- disorder. Why? because there is only one way in which this book will have order, and a trillion ways it can have disorder, so things go from order to disorder in life, since it is a lot more plausible. Natures tendency to progress to disorder, as time goes by more and more disorder occurs."
so that's another reason I guess we only are in our progressive seemingly linear "now"...although, in our dreams we are in different "nows" constantly, and theres a high level of consciousness there too, with a freedom from our body constraints...AHHH so much to think about! hehe thanks for reading, and taking the time to write your comment, I appreciate it

Great thoughts.
Chaos is an interesting subject. Inter-connectivity of everything. The butterfly effect. It often makes me wonder how so much formed to be the way it is... when everything is working against it. Yet here we are, able to behold the beauty in all things. Really makes me thankful to be alive.

mmm i know what you mean! we should always be thankful but sometimes it's harder than it seems...x

It's a constant struggle. Being human is a helluva challenge!

You are a truly amazing person, you know. I've never met you, nor have I read your work until 'now'... but you are an extremely intuitive person, and I can relate to that.
This is a very impressive brainstorm.
