How does relative time collide with the Absolute?

3 posts in this topic

I think an answer to this would solve the whole solipsism deal. I'm referring to the subject (ego) - object solipsism of course. The one where only your ego and what the 5 senses decode exist.

I'm having a hard time interpreting how linear time suscitates within no-time (the state of the absolute). Like how is it that I'm currently experiencing a certain human character's lifetime and what that says about "others". Isn't it a paradox? Wouldn't every life need to repeat itself "forever"? Like right now I'm of a certain age and whatever happened "years ago" and pretty much at every instant needs to be happening NOW, again and again, ad infinitum. So even Jesus' crucifixion, assuming it happened, needs to be happening right now, and then again, and then again, at every instant.

Time is not linear. It may help to imagine time as an object in space, like a tree.


I sometimes picture it as if my entire life is a single leaf on a tree that lives forever. The light of awareness can move from leaf to leaf, but all the leaves remain, and eventually awareness will revisit them again.

I’m not saying this is what is going on, though.


Apparently.

Its a paradox and Its the question of perspective.

It always comes down to the question of 'from what consciousness you are looking at a certain problem'

There will be always a paradox between the relative and the absolute, when you are looking at it from a relative perspective. Paradoxically the synthesis between the relative and the absolute is in the absolute. The synthesis is the recognition, that there is no ultimate difference between the two.

I don't think there could be a mechanical breakdown of the relationship between the relative and the absolute. Because it would  require an infinite mind to understand it (I assume).
