    "When you experience beauty in any form, that is reality, eternal infinate consciousness, filtering in to your finite mind. Beauty is the experience of the collapse of the destinction between consciousness and existence, between self and other. I am giving you a rational explaination to it but the actual experience of it is the experience of beauty. The way the world appears doesn't change but the way you experience that appearance, that is changed."

Keep it up, even a handful out of millions get it, it is worth doing the effort. Thanks.

Eventually, your own experiences with this understanding will change your perception. The man takes time to go into depths of the question and then answers from the Now. And I absolutely love the one asking questions. What innocent beauty! Peace to all!

    Time is the speed of the change of forms and all fhenomena. But the experience of how fast the phenomena are changing is subjective and depends on our state of consciousness. That's why we experience sometimes that a day passes fast and other times very slow although the whole day (from morning to evening) lasts the same time.

    I think that’s why he said “seems”. It’s not real, it’s based on principles that rise and fall, come and go as perceived (really, just perceiving). Vibration x frequency dictates to the mind how it experiences time, but this is also illusory and in certain states, can be modified appropriately. Hence his orange glasses example.

    Yes it is important to be aware of the concept of time just to function in a society. Problem comes when thoughts of going to work tomorrow draw your awareness out of the present. There is no tomorrow where i have to be somewhere at nine a clock. That is just an idea which happens in a present. I just go through the motions in a present moment and when the need to go to work rises, i go there in a present moment. It is possible to be aware of the present and still plan what you are going to do at some point. It is very liberating to live from that place.

    We do know time exists by the theory of time dilation. As an object approaches the speed of light, time slows down. And this has been observed with satellite clocks when compared to ground clocks. Each position is experiencing time at a different rate. Both positions are in the 'now' independently, but relatively speaking 'now' happens at different times. The satellite clock would be from the past as compared to the ground clock and vice-versa. So different times do exist, but from an independent observation, time can never be experienced outside of the 'now'.

    @@theodorethinking Please read your original comment for reference as you read this answer. Mind is constrained to think within a three walled prison of Space-Time-Object. If it sounds like a theory, try thinking without these three dimensions...mind gets stunned. When you talk of "instant"aneous lump of experience and therefore being unable to accommodate either the universe or other people's experiences, my guess is your not allowing time which is a flow past-present-future or alternatively you can say that you are not allowing mind space. When they talk of remaining in the present, that's to be understood like this: What is the length of the present moment? A minute? A second? A milli-second? A nano second? So really the content of Present is your Presence...You as timeless awareness are aware of time whereas time is not aware of you. 🙏

    It happens because you're being weaned off of experience entirely. It's like life keeps tightening the screw, allowing you to get away with less and less falsehood, until you have to surrender because there's absolutely no choice. The mental interpretation will often stay negative as the mind can't feel it's own disappearance as being other than traumatic, but this gets balanced with increasing presence which holds the space of this trauma, and the actual suffering, if you don't pay attention to what the mind is saying, is not that big at all. Like this, pain leaves the psyche and you move closer to your home. And no, it won't last your whole life. I wouldn't be concerned about that though. The way forward is always right here and the final goal is always right here, so there's no need to split your focus. Thank you so much for what you're doing.

    A lovely response from shazbut. My perception is somewhat different. I too experienced the dark night of the soul. But I realised (my supervisor very discretely hinted) that it was my imagination (thoughts and beliefs) that was ‘creating’ the journey and the dark night of the soul. Once I realised that I was ‘creating’ my own spiritual journey and realised how I was doing it, I changed the dark night of the soul into a more pleasant annihilation. I started the practices and 9 months later I reached my destination (I feel presence at every breath) but the journey continues.....there is so much to learn. Everyone’s journey is different because it’s a creation of their own mind. YOU have the power to control the dark night of the soul.

    Imagined approximations of time can be useful when adjusting speed and avoiding cars, or if your a boxer avoiding punches. Einstein's special relativity has proposed that people's senses can sense at different rates. The faster your senses, given an adrenalin rush, the slower the world moves. Special Relativity is another example of the hard problem of consciousness.

    I see time as a social construct to measure if there's light outside, time is relative, it measures movement, the time we use in society is in relation to the sun/moon movement In theory you could take something that always has the same velocity, and build a construct of time around it, let's say dogs run at 20mph, you could use this to measure other periods of movement, you could make your own time in relation to this Now - I have no clue what half the stuff he's saying here is and quite frankly it's not making sense, but I hope I helped someone in someway

    @@theodorethinking Personally I find philosophical categories to be at best useless and at worst self-serving ("narrow-mindedness" nothwithstanding). There's a barrier to answering the new question you shifted to, in that it requires me to describe why space/time doesn't exist using language that inherently assumes it does. T It becomes very easy to set up and fall into "gotcha!" traps. That said, I would say that memories are basically models of experience that are referred to (in the present) in order to allow us to function in the illusory world of space/time. The space/time/materialism model allows us to have a human experience, but like all models has limitations, and doesn't necessarily reflect "reality". I'm pretty much a novice at this understanding, so that's all I got for now.

    I find unworkable theories about the non-existence of time useless, but those are preferences. How do you reconcile change in your experience with the non-existence of time? Maybe we should define time first. Anyway, as both Rupert and his teacher, Francis has reacted to personal solipsism, with the attitude of 'the solipsist may think that he is the only mind in the universe, but the rest of the world knows he is wrong'. That's why I said, 'no time' is solipsism's temporal cousin. You may think there's no time but clocks (and whatever changes) practically disagree.
