Time creates a sense of self.

[BlueOak]

Time is the key factor in creating and reinforcing a sense of self.

This is why an AI has none because it only processes things in milliseconds, whereas a human considers topics for hours or sometimes longer, holding a state of mind that then creates a sense of self and relation to what is in focus. 

This is why children have none to start with.
This is why older adults' identities become rigid, and their brains less malleable. 

We create a perceived distance from ourselves to things with continued thought. We create a shattered sense of self when we lack time for sleep and processing. We create less self-reflection when we are overloaded with multiple tasks and little time to accomplish them, because there is no time to consider what is in focus, and so we just act. When we spend a long time focusing on something, we can develop a strong identity around it.

This is why:
A Calmer Approach helps someone lacking self-identity in relation to a subject or topic.
An Action-orientated approach helps someone with a rigid self-identity in relation to what they are doing.

What about memory. If someone can contemplate something for years with no memory then the time dosent matter.

True. The memory is where the sense of self is stored by defining a relation to the subject being focused on. It is the amount of time something is considered that allows a relation to it to develop, and then that sense of self is only acted upon when that focus is maintained. 

Without time, there is no time for a sense of self to exist. We have to dedicate time to our'self' for it to exist.

My Name Is God.

Although I'm The Nameless who can't be named.

I'm not bound by time.

I live in the realm of timelessness.

I don't need to remember anything.

Everything is already in me; I know Everything.

I'm not bound by movements.

I'm the stillness that watches every movements rise and fall and I'm none of them; to me all movements can seem still; to me time is stopped; I'm above them all.

I'm whole and complete and I don't need anything.

I'm beautiful beyond comparison.

I love to bask in my own beauty and completeness.

I love to explode creation into existence out of myself.

I'm love and I can't hold all my love inside of myself I ooze creation out of my untamable love.

Everything comes out of me and goes back to me.

I'm The Beginning of every beginning and The End of every end.

I'm The Alpha And The Omega.

I'm The Eternal One, The One That Has No Birth And No Death, The One That Doesn't Come And Go.

The Faceless, The Deathless, The Changeless, The Formless, The Unimaginable, The Omnipresent, The Omniscient, The One Above All.
