I definately understand time as a product of our own creation yes, but the point I was trying to make is we use time everyday, we can use time as a definate measurement in our visualisation of reality. Endless possibilities :) Either destruction of time as a simple contstruct, or using it to measure aspects of reality, either end of the spectrum can be speculated upon..... ie:

"how long it takes A to get to B considering the speed of light moves at C with factors D pushing and pulling" the more information, the more help in discovering the true motion of the universe.

I'm starting to get the hint that I waffle on too much and am possibly annoying people here, if I do will someone let me know, keep in mind you always have the option of skim-reading my posts.

Light travels faster than sound. That's why people appear bright until they start to speak.

Perfection is only a matter of perception.

Quote:
Time began when you began thinking about it. Just as it will end when you find more important things to do.


This is wisdom.

Time is an illusion. It does not really exist. The only way to determine time is by our perception of it. Every human has their own perception therefore there are how many billions of parallel universes exsisting side by side all at once? My world is not your world and his world is not your world and so on.

Reality can only be found in the now and that only happens when we don't drag the past into the present moment and when we do not project the future onto it. In the present moment - which is the only real moment - time does not exist. Its simple really.

Even defining the present as the present involves a conception of time :P

"Approach it and there is no beginning; Follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it...." Lao Tse

Indeed - as is said in the Tao - discuss the Tao and its no longer the Tao. But it is possible to be in the pure and present moment where time does not exist. It is impossible to linger there however.
