This means that in the now time is always and forever will be behind us. The streak left by a beeline Two men looking forward. One always looking at the back of the other. Why don't the stand side by side? (R?) The gap to jump is an instant and this is why Achilles never catches up with the Tortoise Folded piece of paper. Before that it was whole. Before that the idea to fold it in half folded the piece of paper. Before that the dimensions of the paper were calculated as so, aligning each end at the tips. After that the purpose for which the paper was folded for. Instances within an instant. Continuum The arrow never moves. The world around it does. From where it was to where it wasn't. Teleporting as its commonly known, from instant to instant between the instant from where it was to where it wasn't. Recording this is what we call time. Calculating distance through instance(s). Everywhere we go ("Go" in quotes for added emphasis but within parenthesis for an optional understanding) is a matter of perspective. Everywhere we also go is relative. Relative to The Seer or Observer (I like Seer better Observer tends to be who you are outside of you Seer is like you're a mech operator to your body) Instances within instances. From an nucleus to an atom to a molecule and so forth. Ad infinitum. This is what makes motion exist. A projection screen. A projected image. A projected screen for the projector to exist to create a projected image onto a projected screen and a projected screen for that as well. Ad Infinitum. Teleportation within the instances in the form of gravity. The laws of attraction and why they occur. Also an example of complete randomness (If a ball is bouncing behind us it could be at any infinite amount of places until we place it after turning around). From each grain of millet moving from where it was to where it wasn't this time (instant) as a whole in a bushel. Moving randomly through space teleporting and reappearing all over the place making the sounds you hear in perfect harmony as a whole. Imagine instances occurring as the layers of an onion being peeled off in this instant within instances of each layer being peeled off within instances of one layer being peeled off to the next within instances peeling one layer off. In fact it does not of itself move even such a quantity of the air as it would move if this part were by itself: for no part even exists otherwise than potentially The requirement needed to peel each layer off changes with each layer being peeled of. No part even exists otherwise than potentially without the whole being peeled and peeled layers remain. Each peeled layer repeating the same process over and over again This is explained by momentum. What makes a slow day at work what makes a fast day at work. Conscious effort towards the productivity of freedom. The processes of everlasting finite fixtures. The cycle of life and death or even simpler when we wake and when we go to sleep. The gravity pertaining to each dichotomous role played out within a whole for it to exist. This is time being played out. Action inscripted in thought; thought inscripted into action. Half a given time being equal to double that time. I hope you have enjoyed my arguments and please share your input I only added this because of the influx of Time and Dream threads so I hope that this will also help in furthering your understanding and mine. As always lets keep this clean and be gents of upright standing. If you wish to be heard reciprocate the feeling and lets get on with the discussion. Thank you
Was a really rough read, very big words haha, super complex ideas to grasp. I feel as if you should sum up the whole paragraph into a smaller section of your own words based on some of the conclusions you put together through the quotes... This really interests me because my views of "feelings" are constantly altered or somehow affected by motion, if that makes any sense Every time I trip the "visuals" make me think a lot about motion / reality / matter. A discussion would be great!
In my own words, what we perceive as motion is folly. The universe actually moves around us. We're forever stationary in instances, a still picture say from a camera shot brought together into frames fitted within nanoseconds its precedent and its antecedent. Relative to a movie. Differences between 30 and 60 frames in video games and so forth. I believe motion is jelled into existence by gravity and thats how we perceive something being from where it is to where its not, how sound is bounced around our environment and we perceive it not hear it. Its really hard to explain but imagine yourself as a door and imagine yourself as a person opening this door going in and going out. This is essentially who everyone is, a gateway to the future via the universe. By understanding the concept of motion I believe we will finally understand or at least gain another step to the furthering of the question that ultimately plagues us at one point: Why are we here?
