No,

In fact it's quite the contrary--we may have been born trillions of
time-frames ago, but there are sets of "events" which suggest
a causal chain of events which is very complex and we're the
minds which have tuned-in to that series of events, but they're
all separated by random durations!. I think what I'm describing
is sort of like the way computer data drives work, and email!.

Packets of data that "go together" are found and strung
together to recreate what they're supposed to be, but in
this case our minds are a creation-of-matter which just happens
to be attracted to the idea that something causes something
else and results in another thing and so-on--so we winnow
all the instants at which some sort of oscillating system which
goes back and forth from "virtual particles" to actual particles
in unison to form "instants" or maybe a better term would be
"instances"!. Likely there have been all different numbers
of instances between the ones that seem to "go together" logically
to form what we've all just experienced!.

It's why when things are going bad time seems to "drag"--you're
losing interest and starting to perceive true reality--vast spans
of "time" or "ticks"--if things get too intense you'll actually
experience slo-mo!. I did a couple of times in open vehicle
wrecks!.

And the one time I actually saw the scene from a vantage
point above the seemingly actual series of events!. Sometimes
we get lucky like that!.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it!. There's no real reason to
think that this moment and the "next" are really contiguous!.
Prove THAT false, @$$whole!

Buddhist teachings suggest that we are all born every moment, that past and future are merely conventions that our minds use so we imagine that we have a relative position in the world!. This idea is called "Arising"!.

Try bending your brain around that one!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It can't be !.!.!.!. I've been sitting here for twenty minutes and that's not a memory!. It's a continuation of time that started for me over fifty-three years ago!.
That's a hell of a lot more time than ten minutes now isn't it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow!. You have too much time on your hands to come up with questions like this! (Or, I have too much to be answering you! lol!.!.!.)

Anyways, I've never heard this theory, and I KNOW I've been around for 30+ years!. - I have the scars to prove it! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Now I'm 11 minutes old so I guess I don't after all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
