timeThe right brain senses time in the present moment and uses creativity. The left brain perceives time in terms of past and future and uses logic. We are caught in the middle.

As far as consciousness is concerned, we use our creative thinking 5% of the time, whilst our subconscious mind operates 95% of the time. Time a system, and perhaps the reason why time feels like it is speeding up is because our perception of time is evolving.

Is Time An Illusion?

Craig Callender – As you read this sentence, you probably think that this moment—right now—is what is happening. The present moment feels special. It is real. However much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present. Of course, the moment during which you read that sentence is no longer happening. This one is. In other words, it feels as though time flows, in the sense that the present is constantly updating itself. We have a deep intuition that the future is open until it becomes present and that the past is fixed. As time flows, this structure of fixed past, immediate present and open future gets carried forward in time. This structure is built into our language, thought and behavior. How we live our lives hangs on it.

Yet as natural as this way of thinking is, you will not find it reflected in science. The equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now—they are like a map without the “you are here” symbol. The present moment does not exist in them, and therefore neither does the flow of time. Additionally, Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity suggest not only that there is no single special present but also that all moments are equally real [see “That Mysterious Flow,” by Paul Davies; Scientific American, September 2002]. Fundamentally, the future is no more open than the past. Continue reading . . .

  1. Every concept excludes its complement. It simultaneously implies its complement. For instance, “time” excludes “timelessness” from itself and thus implies the existence of “timelessness.” Similarly, “space” both excludes and implies “spacelessness.”

    It seems logical, then, to think of time as being necessary, along with timelessness. Time is like the face of a coin and timelessness is the coin’s tail. If you look deeply into either side, you find the other. Neither is sufficient unto itself. Together, they are something valuable.

    Looked at one way, a photon is a particle. Looked at another way, it is a wave fluctuation of a field. The reality of a photon is something neither perspective can define.

    Living with one foot in time and one foot in timelessness is more natural, and easier, than trying to live in either. Both concepts apply; and neither concept applies. This is living in innocence, in enlightenment.
