My thoughts on Time are still under formulation. According to Russell time is an effect derived from rotation of a planet. Rotation establishes number of hours in a day (one complete rotation). The planet's orbital velocity establishes its yearly time (one complete revolution around its sun). OK, these two motions are how we establish our measurements of time. But, what exactly is Time? A Dialogue on Awakening and other similar sources say Time is our greatest illusion. Another source says time is the "progression of events". To Mind, if we are to consider ourselves as our Minds, there is no Time because there are no limits to Mind/Consciousness. The material world has limits but the Mind-World does not. All in all the material world has a time-lag from idea of that world to its manifestation. Hughes, Keely and others called this "progressive evolution" as is identified in the evolution of music scales from a fundamental. I suspect that to consider Time carefully we would need to specify whether we are talking about material manifest Time or Mind Time. To Mind there is no time so the topic is mute - everytime in NOW to the Mind. If we are to consider material things and events there is this "progression of events" which is actually our egoic way of dealing with the illusion that is maya. |
