Time is the measurement of movement and change of any kind, just as metrics are of distance, weight and volume, it is used to be able to count even the simplest things such as the suns and moons that have passed, in essence, the moon and the sun is always the same or at least it seems that way for we are here for a much shorter period. I believe this measurement is necessary only because we believe and know that one day we will die. If this weren't the case and we didn't expire or change, time would be needless. That is why if you believe in an afterlife, there is no such thing as time and space.

I once heard time described as change. That change is an essential part of our physical existence, it happens all the "time" haha, and that time is actually our way of recognizing this change in an ordered way. I like to think the change that it is we are recognizing is movement towards perfection or God eventhough progress can be made outside of time. Then can chage be made outside of time? I think I just confused myself. I have to go to the bathroom.

Time is the "Ego's" way of making this experience "real" or appear to be "real". The "Ego" being the thought process seperate from God. We see it on a mortal level as linear, when the reality of it is holographic. Past, present and future happened at once and it was a response to the first crazy thought of seperation from God, of our oneness becoming duality, as a previous message stated is also known on a spiritual level as "the Big Bang." Why else do we all hate time? Why do we distain the stress of time, whether it's the pining for more which disturbes our enjoyment of said pleasure, or the rushing to meet a deadline? Time is unnatural to our spirit, time is not of our "real" home. Time is the fact of this "life", this dream that we are dreaming and will vanish upon our return to home. *If you so choose to, look into Gary Renards "Disappearance of the Universe" and "Our Immortal Reality" which helps give some insight to "A Course In Miracles". There is great info on "time" there. I have received great info on this subject similar from other sources. But, those publications helped me tremendously to put all my far out thoughts that didn't fit any religion into a better perspective. Its a beautiful thought system. Just a loving suggestion. Otherwise, as Yoga states, "Our subtle self is our real self not bound by time." Time is a physical state; it is as crazy as this physical state...only crazy because it is so opposed to our true, beautiful, all encompassing, all loving, free, forgiving reality that we don't often experience here, but experience in our true home. namaste'...om ....

I had this very same question the other day. It's nothing. We only created as a form of measurement. 1 hour is 1/24th the rotation of the earth . You can't measure. Who decided to start measuring time, days etc??? I wondered this myself the other day and can't seem to find when things were broken up in to days, hours, minutes, seconds. Who decided how long a second or a minute is? Who decided on time zones and calendars? These kind of things bother me and I prefer to stop thinking about them :-)

oops........future. Perhaps time,. imperceived, is present at all times, past present and future?!

If we observe an object, we perceive it,... but do we really? Most of the perceived object is imperceived, we see with our eyes or feel with our touch, etc., only a small part of the total thing we think we are perceiving. Perhaps it is such with time, ...we perceive the line, we remember the past see the present and imagine the

It's true that time existed before man... I guess. But consider this. We've all heard it before: a tree falls in the forest with nothing around to hear it. Does it make a sound? The answer is no - it makes a vibration, and in order for us to call a vibration a sound, it must be perceived. So if you call time a man-made measure of the way things change in the universe, then maybe it has a similar condition - that it has to be perceived.

Addendum: Time is a container, a mere measure but for the fact that it also has momentum. Those two factors put together make it beyond measure, beyond containment and thus truly beyond our comprehension. Mass and energy........

Time is circular and elliptical. It measures the orbits of the earth, sun, moon and even the galaxies. Time circles our seasons in the same fashion that color is a wheel.

Space is 4-dimensional One of these dimensions we call "time". We call that dimension which is thermodynamically asymmetric "time". What does that mean? In 3 dimensions, entropy is roughly the same what direction you go. But in one dimension (time) going one direction entropy increases and in the other direction it decreases. The direction in this 4th dimension along which entropy increases is experienced as "going forward" in time. The universe just IS, neither created nor destroyed, and time is an "emergent" property due to the asymmetry of entropy along one of the 4 spatial dimensions. Thinking about it in this way, time becomes not particularly mysterious.

Lineal time is a finite tool, invented perhaps to assist us to understand better; things that have passed, the present and things yet to pass. This finite line, ordered, along with the functions of the left hemesphere of our brains, allows us to use the dominant side of our brain to portray a totally right hemesphere activity, the existence on many levels, perhaps simultaneously, the past, present and future. If all things exist at the same time, this might explain some 'past life experiences (remembered), or the ability of some (or all of us) to occasionially view the future. Of course, admittedly, this question really illustrates the human minds ability to rationalize any subject and twist and turn it 'till it fits what we want to believe.....in other words....I'm just guessing

time is an invented system for cataloging experiences. It is also a means of tracking and anticipating motions between the stuff of reality using repeating countable events. Time is also the corridor of events we have lived through, and imagined as well as projected ahead... time is not a medium which can be traveled out side of the mind. Time is money (^_^)

Time is an illusion. It doesn't really exist outside of your mind. Read Jorge Luis Borges' essay called "A New Refutation of Time." It presents an interesting argument for that. The only thing that actually exists is the present.
