Time, It's Nature as Unreal

[Guest guest]

Hi Bob,

 

Let's start off with this. Time does not exist. It is an abstraction and a

form of measurement like feet, inches and millimeter. What we call time is

usually clock time, relating changing events or objects to the mechanical

movements of gears and springs and the dial of a machine, a clock. In the

present,

if you are ever in the present, there is no time. Objects exist and change

position and our lives continue, and clocks continue to run, but time is just a

measurement that you don't have to use.

There is also psychological time and this is subjective and personal although

groups and individuals can share a similar psychological time. This kind of

time is flexible and what appears fast to one person may be experienced as

slow to another.

Using the word time for this experience is rather confusing because it gets

mixed up in people's mind with clock time. Perhaps it would be better to call

it Pace, or personal rate rather than time.

The experiment you write about may be an interaction between clock or machine

time and psychological pace which may converge or diverge. When personal

pace diverges from mechanical clock time, the experience you mention may occur.

Clock Time is not a dimension of reality, it has no substance, or reality as

do objects or substance, clock time is simply a method of measuring the

relationship of moving objects or events. Yes, objects move, and events change,

but

time is not real, it is an abstraction even as a cartoon is an abstraction.

Cartoons are drawings flashed quickly to give the appearance of movement and

time is only marks on a wheel that produces various misinterpretation about its

nature.

Anyhow, if you are able to focus down to a simple discussion and move out of

your head-trip, what is your opinion? I expect a good clear answer as you

claim to be a prophet, whatever that means. Do you know if it's going to rain

tomorrow, or when Jesus will return?

Dear Bob,

 

I feel embarassed to be a part in your life as you are a part of me that

makes me puke. Call it self-hatred. How ugly in temperament you are. So much

intelligence and such bad vibes. A pity really. And dangerous perhaps. It's

people with your capacity that take control of socieities proclaim false gods,

and

bring millions to death and destruction.

> It's All a head trip Larry. Your lack of understanding of this

basic situation is the reason for your humourless attitude and

aptitude. And to focalize to your level is to ask for the

impossiblity of explaining the liteness of being to a total and

absolutely inelegant pompousity. This is as good and clear as it gets

Larry. If you fail to understand, look within for the reason for that

non-comprehension. I prophesy that you will be unable to complete

that task. But I am sure, as regards the return of the Nazarene, the

probability of rain on the morrow and understanding your nonsensical

and ludicrous pronouncements...you hold the key...you know all

things. At the very least I know all this because you, Larry E., have

told us all that it's so. I really like you Larry. I do...but get off

the schtick of being some zen master or some Ranch groupie that feels

they have to insult people of equal or greater intellegence and

wisdom. In other words kid..Grow the hell up. Then maybe we can

converse on a level that's slightly above the bizarre. And BTW

Larry...are you from Detroit? You keep evading this very basic

question.

with kind regards......bob

should be ashamed and abashed about vomiting in public like this. But

I already knew you were sick, so what's one to expect. Therefore you

are forgiven son. As to bad vibes...Larry,Larry,Larry...(ugly

temperament, dangerous, taking control of societies, millions to

death and destruction ???????????????). As I suggested in my previous

post ..LOOK WITHIN!..I also prophesied that you weren't up to this

task so I should have known.

OK. And now, guys, try to cooperate and clear up the

misunderstandings.

Larry,

 

Oh never mind. I'll stay out of this but I have to say I'm a little

embarrassed for you right now. You're making such an ass of

yourself.
