The truths that you mention are similar to my own concepts and experience. They resemble what I read and heard earlier. I truly appreciate that they are based on your experiences and observations.

Your left is not the left.

There is no "the left".

Likewise, there is no "the past". And there is no "the future".

There is not a something that flows from "the past" to the "the future". There cannot be. That's because there is no "the past" nor "the future".

Objectively, the universe does not have a left side and a right side.

The universe (i.e. reality as a whole) is a singular unit of leftless, rightless, timeless, spaceless four-dimensional spacetime. It is eternal and unchanging. It has no left, no right, no time, no past, no future, and no space.

Really, there is no time.

There is no time in the same sense there is no "the left".

Time is an illusion.

Time is not real.


What do you think?

If you do not agree with all of the above sentences, which is the very first one with which you disagree? I love hearing about different viewpoints!

If you do not understand what all of the above sentences mean (i.e. what I mean by them), which is the very first one you don't understand? I will happily do my best to clarify it and explain what I mean.

If you have any questions for me, please do ask. I'll do my best to answer.

I read about this and was very well convinced by your thoughts on it that only your body will age, but you will still be you. But at some point, I do believe that time exists because if time didn't exist, then we would know the future. Surprisely we don't know it.

If you are in the review, big up and select the book Methuselah by Barry Kohl and you will understand how time and age work. It is a short read with images. You can read my review for additional understanding too.
