Hopefully this post will assist people to think outside time
itself, it is difficult, while believing that we were created from time, to
perceive outside of this time, this knowing
that you are not really of time can assist in getting ourselves to think outside
the barriers of time. We are indeed eternal therefore not of time but guests of
time as I will explain further. Is it important to know we are only guests of
time? I think so especially if we want to heal, or more precisely, change the collective
to something more constructive.
We were created in and from time, how is such a creation supposed
to think outside of this time especially when all we are taught is also time
orientated? Actually it’s very hard for certain
people to even perceive outside of their own taught perceptions within time
itself. Anyone who thinks their science or religion for example, is the be and
end all, can only perceive within these barriers, they are unable to perceive of
any other concept past their own concepts within time, perceiving to think outside of time is going
to be virtually impossible.
Some people are unable to perceive outside of their own concepts
within time and other people can perceive most of anything within time, there
are also others who can perceive outside of this time barrier altogether, these
are the people who know we are only guests of time not of time itself, in other
words we are eternal. It’s amazing why
we all think so differently, it’s all to do with how we think within and out of
time.
Now we could say the mind and body are only of time, they
were created in time unlike our eternal selves, our spirit/soul, this I feel
isn’t quite correct, the brain was created in time but the mind wasn’t. Yes the mind can be just of time because it
can think it’s only of time but it can also think outside of time. Can the
human body exist and perceive outside of time? It can’t even exist as it is outside
of Earth’s atmosphere within time, the human body is only of time but the mind
isn’t, mainly because it can think outside of time therefore it’s not just of
time.
You could say here that the mind is a guest to the brain,
the mind is having a short stay within the human brain just like when we go on
holidays, we stay at a venue that gives us different experiences, the
mind is no different when staying at it’s venue in the human brain. I do have to admit though, at times while the
mind is staying at it’s venue, the brain, it certainly doesn’t feel like a
holiday, I suppose some holidays can be quite chaotic at times!!
The teaching of Buddhism
say there is no eternal soul; it’s the go self that wants to be eternal.
The perceiving of an eternal soul is dualistic and of time
because everything of time, like the soul, is separated by it’s own individualism
when there is no true separation, this makes perfect sense. This is basically
saying that time is an illusion and that we are indeed a guest within time,
this illusion itself. This is in line
with saying that the mind is the brain when the mind is only a guest to the brain;
it’s an illusion when we think the brain created the mind when in fact the mind
is only a guest staying at the venue we call the human brain.
The brain has got the mind to think it’s of the brain not a
guest of the brain; this is an illusion of the mind brought about by existing in
time, so time is an illusion?
No, time only deludes us to get us to think we are only of
time, this doesn’t make time itself an illusion. Why isn’t time an illusion? For
the main reason; within timelessness time has always existed therefore time can’t
be an illusion, however, time can obviously give us delusions, for example, that we are only off time and not a guest of time.
So is there an eternal soul? Yes and no, this all depends on
our perception of what a soul actually is. In time the soul is separate to all
other souls as time is all about dualism but in timelessness all souls are of
one entity, one source of consciousness, this however to me doesn’t make time
an illusion, this is only the case if we believe we are separated by individual
soul experiences within time itself. Also
any experience in time only becomes a delusion if we think we are of time
instead of being guests of time. It’s amazing
how confused we have become between illusions and delusions, if in timelessness,
which we are of, everything has always existed so there are no true illusions only
delusions brought about by the mind thinking it’s of time and not of timelessness.
Like the mind is of the brain, we are but guests of and
within time itself, it’s very much like a holiday, it’s the conditions of the
destination that defines what kind of holiday we will experience. Can we change the actual conditions of a location
of a holiday? If we are holidaying in the mountains, we can’t change the mountains
but we can change the way we experience these mountains while on holiday, experiencing
anything in time is the same. Yes we have changed the surface area of Earth but
the earth is still the Earth as the mountains are still the mountains, unless…….
If we stop being guests of a location and decide to own such locations, then we
in a sense can change the actual mountains themselves. Instead of humans being guests
to time, we think we are of time itself therefore having ownership; we are in a
sense destroying the mountains that we came to holiday in.
By not just realising but knowing that we are guests of time,
we can indeed change these experiences to something far more constructive and
fun as any holiday destination should be, time is after all but a destination
for our eternal selves to experience.
