1190609 2011-03-30 22:49:00 I think that moments only exist in time whether it is the past, the present or the future. We have fuller control of what happens at this moment but past moments only exist in the memory. Things that happened in the past cannot be undone but can be remedied in the future. Future moments can be influenced by how we have acted in the past or in the present moment. Bobh (5192)

Sounds scary to me. A science fiction movie that could be interesting to watch no doubt.

1190612 2011-03-31 01:12:00 How do you define a moment?

:pf1mobmini:

That time between the past and the future, not an easy question, because, we find it just about impossible to live it, the closest one can get I think is when we meditate..

You might ask what is the point of that, I can only say that if practised in a good environment, you can get the sense of it, and it is rather nice.

1190613 2011-03-31 02:46:00 Is that the sensation I get at the beach, when I have my post-lunch snooze after my couple of pre-lunch beers, and sort of half listen to the cricket. If that isn't 'now' I don't know what is. Drifting away like a butterfly on a warm breeze! Richard (739)
1190614 2011-03-31 03:09:00 If there is no intelligent observer does time exist, or, what would be here if you were not.

If a tree falls over in a forest and there is no-one there does it make a sound?

If the Wizard falls over in the square and there is no audience does he make a sound?

Time itself is a man made conception.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it was man who made several calendars including Mayan, Gregorian etc.

Bit like asking "How long is that in Dog years."

Time and reality are a movable feast..............
