- Go to It’s About Time...Part XIV
This is entirely too great an issue to wrap my head around. I can't get past cliches like time and time again and of course once upon a time. The easiest one to place great emphasis on is: Son, get that mess off the table, NOW!

In any event history moves along or is Paulette Goddard outside? I could beat Charles Chaplin. But I’ve haven’t reached eternity. I haven't seen anything outside of time yet Naut. In any event an interesting post. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

Like Wiley and Kabu, this is over my head only because I am to lazy to think about it, but it is not scriptural that I do not believe in time, it is in the fact that we can only exist in the now. We can not go back, nor can we move forward, (life would be to easy that way) therefore there is no tomorrow and no yesterday. We cannot go back even to the first word we read in my comment "like" nor can we move forward to the last word, and they are only seconds apart. You see Naut, there is no time, only the now. Time is just man's invention to keep the workers from being late.

I came, I read, I ran out of time.

Re: floating...Floating
me too. I don't think that I will grasp this time/ no time/ stuff any time soon.

I'm sort of floating here - not sure of grasping the meaning. Maybe the next post describing the implications will make it clearer for me.

Surprise .. I think I grasp the idea of 'no precise time'.. If I was to write and tell you that your help was needed now .... my now is then but your now would be when you received my message. Does that make sense to you or am I still in a fog on this subject?

I like living in "the land of nows", but I love visiting the land of yesterdays with my memories. I don't think often of the future as I did when I was young because I figure that the majority of my life is probably over, so I take one "now" at a time and enjoy it to the fullest. Actually, Blogit is a fun "now" for me, and you are one of my favorite reads.

Explaining the now part helped me better understand the idea behind there being no time...As I recall from Catholic school, to God time is "suspended."

Are you saying what I think you're saying --
that we live in the eternal now?
