- Go to It’s about Time…Part IV
I think we live in a 5 dimensional world...
the 4th being time, which is variable and finite, and the 5th being 'time', which is constant and infinite / eternal. When one aligns one's consciousness with 'time', time indeed seems trivial. It may even be possible to reduce / eliminate the effects / ravages of time by merging one's consciousness with 'time'. Hope this makes sense, Naut, and I do like the way you are going about here trying to explain the distinction, which is very real, and kudos for that!
Best,
Ash

So very interesting. I can picture time as being "fourth dimention" although I tried this... ("An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.") ...and it didn't work for me.

Kant from Wikipedia............
"time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled." So I suppose Dr. Who is a myth. Sigh. Pity!!

This seems true.
I often write about time as having accordion-like qualities, sometimes it seems like yesterday when you think of something that happened 40 or 50 years ago. And sometimes when some awareness strikes you, that split second can feel like hours. I suppose this is "time" and not that immutable tick-tock measured by a clock.
