The nature of time has long puzzled scientists, philosophers, and spiritual seekers alike. The article from Popular Mechanics explores the idea that there is no fundamental difference between the past and the future, suggesting that our experience of time’s flow may be a construct of the human mind rather than an objective feature of reality. This aligns with theories in physics, particularly Einstein’s theory of relativity, which suggests that time is relative and intertwined with space, not a linear sequence of events.

 From a scientific perspective, time appears to be an emergent property rather than an absolute force. Quantum mechanics and relativity hint that past, present, and future may all exist simultaneously in a “block universe” where every moment is fixed and unchanging. If this is true, then what we perceive as the passage of time is merely the way our consciousness moves through this static structure. Our brains, limited by sensory input and memory, construct a narrative that gives meaning to our experiences, leading us to believe that time flows in one direction.

 Ancient traditions and spiritual teachings have also questioned the reality of time, often describing it as a veil that distorts our perception of truth. The Hindu concept of Māyā suggests that time, along with the material world, is an illusion that traps the soul in cycles of birth and rebirth (Samsara). The Bhagavad Gita echoes this idea, portraying Krishna as a being who exists beyond time, witnessing all events simultaneously. Similarly, Buddhist teachings emphasize the impermanence (anicca) of all things, suggesting that our attachment to time is a root cause of suffering.

 The ancient Greeks also contemplated the nature of time. The philosopher Parmenides argued that change and motion are illusions, and that reality is an unchanging, eternal whole. His ideas prefigured the modern “block universe” theory, in which all moments coexist. In contrast, Heraclitus believed in perpetual change, yet his famous statement—“You cannot step into the same river twice”—implies a cyclical nature to time rather than a strict linear progression.

 If time is merely a construct of human perception, it raises profound questions about free will, destiny, and the nature of existence. Are we merely observing events that have already happened in a predetermined universe, or does our consciousness actively shape reality? The Dao De Jing, a foundational Taoist text, suggests that the flow of time is like a river—effortless and beyond human control. Laozi, the text’s attributed author, advises aligning with this natural flow rather than resisting it.

 While science has yet to answer these questions definitively, the idea that time is an illusion is not new—it is a thread that weaves through both ancient philosophy and modern physics. If our understanding of time is merely a construct of perception, then reality itself may be far more mysterious than we have ever imagined.

 Our place within time and space is a paradox—both fleeting and eternal, bound by perception yet connected to something beyond it. If time is an illusion, then our lives are not mere sequences of events but rather moments of consciousness passing through an intricate, multidimensional existence. The past, present, and future may not be separate, but rather different perspectives of the same unified reality.

Science suggests that our perception of time arises from our brain’s need to process change, much like a projector casting individual frames onto a screen to create the illusion of movement. If we step beyond this illusion, what remains? Some theories, such as quantum entanglement and the holographic principle, suggest that everything is interconnected—that the universe is not a vast, empty void but an intricate web of information, where all things influence one another beyond the limits of space and time.

Spiritual traditions echo this sentiment, teaching that we are not simply beings moving through time but rather eternal consciousness experiencing reality through a temporal lens. If time is a construct of perception, then so too is our sense of limitation. Perhaps our true nature is not confined to the physical realm but extends into something infinite—an existence not measured by clocks but by awareness itself.

As Albert Einstein famously wrote in a letter after the passing of a friend, “The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” If this is true, then we are not bound by time, but rather participants in a greater, timeless unfolding—one that we are only beginning to understand.

About damn time they stopped giving this venomous viper a platform. Entertaining video.

Amusing rant...

Quote:Do not adjust your telescreen. This is not a test. It’s a state of emergency! A full-blown national state of emergency!

Yes, that’s right, once again, we need to dispense with the rule of law and take a series of emergency measures in order to save “democracy,” or “freedom,” or “to remedy the distress of the people and the nation,” or “protect the people from a respiratory virus,” or a “woke mind virus,” or “deep state agents,” or “the terrorists,” or “bureaucrats,” or “insubordinate judges,” and “Make America Great Again!”

Fortunately, God has personally appointed Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire, Military-Industrial Complex embedded, transhumanist, global-capitalist oligarch, to serve as a Superhero-like savior, and rescue the American people from Evil! Or, OK, technically God personally appointed Trump, but Trump personally appointed Elon, which God knew he would do, being omniscient, and omnipotent, and so on.

So, basically, Elon has carte blanche from God to take whatever emergency measures to save America he deems appropriate, and anyone who stands in his way is “corrupt,” and “evil,” and an “enemy of the state,” who deserves to be arrested and prosecuted, and imprisoned, or at the very least harrassed and intimidated.

For example, Paula Kerger, CEO of PBS, who is being hauled in front of Elon’s DOGE Subcommittee to explain why PBS failed to conform to official “reality” as determined by Elon, and the ADL, and the MAGA Ministry of Truth.



Suppressive Persons like Paula Kerger and the staff of the Public Broadcasting System cannot be allowed to interpret events however they interpret them. We’re in a state of emergency! Screw all that freedom of speech and the press stuff! How can Elon rescue America if people are free to contradict what he says?!

After all, the American people elected Musk and Trump so that they could dictate what is “true,” and punish anyone who disagrees with them!

OK, sure, some of what they say isn’t true, or not exactly true, or is shameless lies, but sometimes you have to lie to people to save them from evil, because … well, people are stupid, so you have to bombard them with official propaganda and lies and whip them up into frenzies of fanatical hatred of your official enemies.


For example, the “fifty-million-dollar USAID terrorist condom bomb” story…



…which, of course, was a load of ridiculous bullshit. But that doesn’t matter, because the primary purpose of official propaganda is not to trick anyone; it is to disseminate talking points to your followers who will repeat whatever preposterous lies you make up like a bunch of lobotomized parrots.

Or the “Reuters was paid millions for social deception” story, which was also bullshit, but which Elon and his minions got their legion of morons to mindlessly repeat, over and over, and over again, on Elon’s social media platform, X…which, in case it hasn’t quite sunk in yet, is a propaganda apparatus of the US government, as in it’s literally owned and operated by a Military-Industrial Complex embedded, global corporatist government official.



But whatever. Who gives a shit what’s true? We’re saving America from Libtardism, and deep-state agents, and the transgender Communists! There is a fucking war on! Screw the truth!

Oh yeah, and also, screw the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States! If the judges won’t obey Elon’s orders, impeach them! They’re destroying America!



And if journalists won’t conform to MAGA Newspeak, ban them from attending our glorious leaders’ events! Unperson them! Make examples of them! Unleash the basic pleasure model on them!



Also, the arts! The arts are full of perverts! We need to get the whole art thing cleaned up! Trump firing the board of the Kennedy Center and installing himself as Chairman was a good start, but if we’re going to Make America Great Again, we’re going to need to get a little more radical. Perhaps a new Degenerate Art exhibition! Elon could name one of his coder kids “National MAGA Minister of Culture”! There must be a database of all the degenerate artists and writers and intellectuals somewhere!



I know, you’re thinking this all sounds a bit drastic, but remember, we’re in a state of emergency! It’s a crisis! There’s no time to stop and think! Or question our leaders or The Science, or whatever! The woke mind virus is spreading like wildfire!

Plus, the shock-and-awe phase won’t last. It’s just a few weeks to flatten the curve, or maybe a few months, or until Elon and his buddies develop an anti-woke-mind-virus “vaccine,” or an anti-libtard Neuralink implant, or we all fly off to Mars, or whatever.

In the meantime, the most important thing to do — apart from mindlessly parroting whatever lies Elon and his sycophants post on X — is to get down on your knees and thank him, and his consortium of global-capitalist behemoths, and Saudi royals, and assorted oligarchs, for literally saving freedom of speech, and America, and freedom, and anything else you can think of to grovelingly thank him for!



If you’re not sure how to do that properly, my old friends Jeffrey and Chris can help!



Oh, and, sorry, I lied. This is a test. Just like the “Covid pandemic” was a test. Pretty much everything in life is a test. A test that we take, and then grade, ourselves.

How are you doing on this one so far?

So this happened today just about 2 miles or so from where we live. In fact I just got home from the pharmacy I use just a couple of blocks from where this happened.

Quote:Police said when they arrived, they found three people down outside of the DMV.

A male died at the scene and two females died after being taken to the hospital. Their ages were not available.
Police are still looking for suspects. Maj. Donald Boeckman said witnesses saw "subjects" flee from the scene in a vehicle.
He said witnesses are being cooperative.

This is crazy!

Quote:BROOKVILLE, Ind. (WXIX) - A Tri-State priest is warning that someone is impersonating him on social media and offering exorcisms.

Father Vincent Lampert leads worshippers at St. Michael Catholic Church in Brookville in southeastern Indiana.

He said he’s performed exorcisms for almost 20 years, but now, someone has been pretending to be him for more than a year and offering exorcisms, rosaries, and holy water for money.

”Unfortunately, a lot of people who believe they are dealing with the demonic are very vulnerable,” he said. “They took a recent interview that I did and dubbed over my voice with AI so they were able to add their own words with my actual image.”

2d line ; This video has short stories about Cryptids supposedly in Antarctica to include the Russian found organism 46B.

Quote:Cryptids Vol. 3: The Antarctic Cover-up | Predators Beneath the Ice In Antarctica's restricted zones, something dangerous lurks beneath the ice. When a Russian team drilled into Lake Vostok, they discovered more than just ancient water. Two scientists died under mysterious circumstances, and the official reports don't match witness statements. Military operations, classified facilities, and blurred satellite images hint at darker secrets. From massive spider-like creatures to shape-shifting predators, Antarctica's mysteries run deeper than anyone imagined. What are they trying to hide at the bottom of the world? #Antarctic #Conspiracy #Cryptids

Quote:Mysteries Beneath the Ice: The Secrets of Antarctica Rumors of UFOs and other strangeness in Antarctica go back a long time. Operation Highjump arrived in 1946 with a heavily armed US Navy fleet. Their mission was to extend American sovereignty over Antarctica. The mission was supposed to take six months. Instead, it lasted six weeks. The Operation ended because of poor weather. At least, that's the official report. Eyewitnesses said aggressive flying craft chasing the Navy out of the area. In 1985, a medevac flight was forced over a "no-fly" zone near the South Pole. The crew saw a giant hole in the ice, as wide as a football field. When the crew returned to base, they were debriefed. Not by the Navy. By men in suits. One of the crewmen said they had the typical "DC look." In the 1990s, Navy flight crews reported silver discs zipping over mountain peaks at impossible speeds. The crews were told to never speak of it. In 2003, a Navy SEAL on a covert mission found an ancient structure protruding through the ice. It was made of something that wasn't quite metal but wasn't quite stone. It was warm to the touch. And on that structure was a door. Since the launch of Google Earth, hundreds of images of tunnels and entrances have been found leading into the Antarctic ice - miles deep, including a perfectly circular hole a half-mile wide. In 2018, scientists in Antarctica launched weather balloons to study cosmic rays coming from space and hitting the Earth. They found cosmic rays. as expected. But what they didn't expect: the cosmic rays were coming from "something" two miles underneath the ice. There are witnesses who have seen things, heard things, and felt things that should not exist in Antarctica. Yet they do. Whatever's down there, we're not supposed to know about it. But one thing's for sure, something very strange - and very important - is happening at the bottom of the world. #UFOs #Antarctica #Conspiracy

It's been a while. If we have crossed paths before my name on ATS was NoRegretEver or NRE for short.

After being on ATS radio, Reality Remix, and Out of the Box with our favorites like, Druid, Beezer, Sheepslayer, Adjensen and more.

I started Esoteric Truth Radio early on, and over the years I ventured out and started Lovespiracy. I went M.IA. for a few years as my husband was sick. When he passed a year and a half ago, I needed to do something so I started radio again.

I havent run head on until the end of last year. I would like to share some of my work, I will not flood RN. I will just use this one thread (if this is not ok please let me know).

If you enjoy my work, and would like to show support. Please feel free to give a share, a like and a follow.
I do all of this myself, so its rough around the edges a bit, but I promise it will get better.

Here are the places that you can find my work. Thank you all so much.
NRE.

As a bit of disclosure, I am not much of a spiritual thinker.  I believe myself to be Catholic but am not one who attends Mass on a regular basis.  So take this for what it is worth.  It is a jumble of thoughts to be sure.

If one assumes that humans have an eternal soul, it is a curious arrangement when one really considers it.

Some believe the soul cycles through multiple lives on earth as part of a spiritual learning process.  This implies the soul is not an integral part of the human body but rather something apart from it even if it "co-habitates" our existence as long as we're alive.

Further assuming the soul itself is of The Source, one ponders what seems to be a parasitical arrangement.  "Parasitical" is a harsh word, yet we must recall the host (the human in question) was hardly in a position to grant permission for this union of spirit and flesh.  It just happened that way, and is such a mysterious process that many go through their entire lives without realizing there may be "more than one" of them.

The explanation that this part of the soul's education or training is fine as far as that goes, but that explanation avoids discussion of the ethics of what, for humans, is a supernatural force binding to them without so much as a "if I may" ... hardly in line with the old "Prime Directive" of the Star Trek TV series.

The other thought along these lines concerns the lives of individual humans.  Would we have ultimately been more content with our lives had we remained without that spark of The Source within?  That is, if we had all remained ultra-primitive people of the bush and the grasslands, rooting around for bits of food ... living a more animal life ... would we be less burdened psychologically and fundamentally happier even if our lives would be harder, shorter, and, on occasion, more brutal than what we now know?

And why did we get selected as hosts anyway?  Why not chimpanzees or orangutans?  Again, one considers the issue of this being forced on the human animal as part of a process that seems to mostly, if not solely, benefits the soul's spiritual progression.
