Go on prove me wrongWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I can't prove you wrong but I would bet everything I have that you don't believe it yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com 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! Www@QuestionHome@Com 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!.
