Damn Newtonians and their cult following.

Time is the measurement of change. If nothing changes, time does not flow.

I've taken psychedelics and i've experienced the "infinite loop" and honestly i do believe life may be repetitive. The idea that with infinite possibilities you are destined to re-live your existence over & over & over & over again without knowing you've re-lived your existence. There's no science behind it but if you dabble in psychedelics you'll understand my pov - it's a possiblity.

Yea in a way yes, it's called karma, and it's cyclic in action.

I mean, I like this somewhat better. Maybe.

Which is worse? All the good things and all the bad things are happening at the same time forever? Or all the good things AND all the bad things happening over and over again?

It's enough to make you embrace Buddhism and hope to escape the wheel.

Pretty much this. You can define it as the transference of energy. No energy = no time. Go near the speed of light = essentially time traveling into the future since your pocket of reality is moving forward in time much faster than most others.

The way most people think of time, this is true, but you can measure decay/entropy/changing of states and call that time. Time is strange as **** when you think about how it's all relative to position/motion.

We are temporal beings.

Time makes being both possible and meaningful.

Something that serves no purpose is meaningless.

Time makes being meaningful and gives it purpose.

And eternal life of mere repetition would be meaningless and thus not possible and untrue.

The future comes first.

The future gives meaning to the past.

The future makes the past possible.

Thus, the future comes first.

time is relative and plays out differently in the different realms of the universe. hence why on earth we are restricted to repeating cycles of day/night and annual seasons, and time zones. but if you were to spend all your time in space, this concept of time would be entirely different. hence why god is eternal and existing outside of the temporal realm of man

a lot of philosophical movements like gnosis and hermeticism are seemingly paganistic and heretical in natural because they focus on this lunar/solar duality of time in the earthly plane as a source of wisdom and knowledge, while seemingly ignoring that higher powers exist outside of that plane entirely

Reality is what you perceive it to be- some miscer's sig

Who decided what is right and wrong, its all based on your belief system along with everything else. Do what you want we only live once... unless time is a flat circle
