What would it mean for there to be a past and future?

6 posts in this topic

Considering there is only the NOW, the present moment, what would it mean if there actually was “a future” or “a past” as a ‘thing’.

That's the miracle of creation. There seems to be a somebody or a something with a background story and a future dream, plan or trajectory.

@Jahmaine future and past is NOW as thought.

Edit: @LastThursday

Nice. Instead of a vacation on Fiji we might travel to our birth or maybe even to last thursday.

@Jahmaine then time travel would be possible, and fate would be a thing, the history of the universe would be set in stone. Given the right magic or technology, you would be able to re-live your childhood because it is always "there", or you could experience what happens after your death in the blink of an eye.

This seems to be conflating Absolute and relative. It is essentially saying “There is only Now (absolute). What would it mean if there wasn’t only Now (relative)”. 

In Absolute Now everything is Now. Similar to Absolute Infinity. Any thing is Absolute Infinity. Same for Absolute Love, Absolute perfection and so on.
