Re: Time?

[Robert L. Vaessen]

Rob -

You're way off the mark here. You need to go back and read the 
page again. I completely reject time, in all it's forms. Clocks 
don't tell 'Time' they have hands that move in a circle. That's 
it. Clocks don't fit the equation at all. Neither does jet-lag, 
or the international date line.

I've been having a protracted discussion with a couple of other 
friends regarding the nature (or non-existence) of time. Here's 
the latest from that discussion. Maybe it'll help...

We are consciousness, traveling down a probability path. 
Visiting nodes along the way. Each node is a static now. A fixed 
and unchanging (no such thing as motion) configuration of 
matter. An act never becomes a node. All acts are nodes. As your 
consciousness visits these nodes you experience them in a linear 
fashion (perceived as motion and time), because that's the only 
way you are capable of processing the experience. You create 
time and motion by processing the nodes your consciousness is 
visiting.

I'll give you a call when I get down to the Springs. I leave on 
the 25th, class starts on the 26th. Will you two be busy on the 
evening of the 25th? It's a Monday. I'll probably be spending 
most of my weekends back here though.

The counters on my web pages are provided by Geocities. You can 
get them with the free pages, but then you have to put up with 
the advertisement.  I pay for my Geocities services (GeoPlus). 
$4.95 a month isn't a bad deal for what I'm getting. I have 
different counters for every (almost every) page, and I do get 
statistics with the counters.
