No time in Infinity

[Sempiternity]

One thing that doesn't make sense to me. Leo says that you want to be under, immersed in infinity for as long as possible, as the longer you're under the more you can explore the infinite depths of infinity/God. But when you are in the state of infinity/God there is no Time, so how long you're under should be irrelevant. Can anyone (with firsthand knowledge) explain this?

Interesting question, logical explanation would be that it clearly includes time, but infinite holds everything, so there can't be time.

@Jed Vassallo there mind understands time in terms of cycles. 

1 earth rotations in a year

365 Sun rises and falls in a year

24 hours in a day

 

 

 

 

What time is it on the Sun? 

 

And I guess try to understand like this also. When you have a dreamless sleep for example, you don't know how much time has passed until you check. It feels like no-time at all. One moment ur laying down for sleep and then blank and then awake.

 

Yet. 1 hour sleep vs 8 hour sleep... The longer sleep has more benefits. Even though the experience is of no-time

Infinity would be better replaced with the word Unfinity ie un-finite ie without limit including those imposed by the concept of time.

You see this is another yes and no , and neither situation, there is time and there isn't time , it is frozen and it is not frozen. 

Time itself is very complicated, what is here and now, we get information delivered to our brain only after event even happened, so it is completely possible to be in situation  where your experience lags behind.

Perception allows for the appearance of change, when thought adds a story to the appearance, it derives, time.

It’s not that there is no time in infinity, and then there is this real world where there is time. Another thought, added to perception, is under.

It’s most helpful to collapse this duality, by scrutinizing direct experience and revealing we’re never actually doing anything, but it sure seems like we are.

In the “inner game“, notice thoughts which imply a narrative. Self, past and future.

This reveals the true freedom of infinity, and that the only possible point of experience as all experience is relative, relative to absolute, is the absolute: happiness, joy, sharing love, togetherness.

Being appears as a continuum, but is not.

Without thought which is constantly referencing to time the experienxe has a timeless aspect to it.

@Jed Vassallo we are all storytellers and Time makes for a good story.

We are all imaginary. There is only one storyteller. One actor, endless number of characters played.

@Jed Vassallo agreed. If there is no Time, then we are everything at once, all characters.
