Time is a perception.
There is no way to quantify or measure time. Clocks only work by making changing relative to other clocks. Humans have no methodology to explain the movement of time except in terms of the movement of other things.
Time only exists within the subjective interior.
Time appears to speed or slow depending on our moods. “Time flies when you’re having fun,” and “a watched pot never boils,” are human idioms that exemplify the slippery nature of time.
Perception is based upon the circumference of consciousness.
We are all united. As consciousness transcends and unfolds, so too does the passage of time become less important. Time is an illusion humans perceive in order to help us comprehend the movement of data. For beings with Higher consciousness, human time is irrelevant.
I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom ~ Mark 16:8
The only reality is the present moment.
Dissolve the perception of time as linear and realize that the future has already happened. If not in the mind of any human, then in the Omniscient Mind of God. When we interact with the present moment, we are interacting with trillions of years of astronomical patterns, billions of years of evolution, and thousands of years of human history. Our actions produce a ripple effect that in turn affect the infinite span of Time before us.
Free Will is perfectly compatible with Fate
God does not preordain our path, but instead preordains the scenery of each and every possible path. As consciousness unfolds, it surpasses the boundary of Time, and with it, physical space. As the human ego, it is beyond our calculating power to nuance about how Time would have unfolded had we chosen a different path . . But for the OmniMind of God, this is Known.
God does not force us down one path or another, but instead allows us to experience Him in the way we so choose.
By experiencing NOW we experience EVERYTHING.
The present moment is a holographic image produced by all other events that have ever taken place or will ever take place.
By living in the present moment, we interact with every other physical manifestation in the universe, as well as metaphysical forces.
