Doubt
From: Shekhar Kapur, Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001, To: Piet Hut : You Said : < Needless to say, IF linear time is not real, then a realization of that fact makes one a more effective player is alleged linear time; just like you can only be an effective film director if you realize that a film is not real -- which doesn't mean it is arbitrary. >>
I am going a different way : I still want to see (because I imagine everything as a picture) - time like a little canary in a cage : caged by us - therefore I look and say :
concept of 'me'
From: Shekhar Kapur, 30 Jul 2001 09:17:47 EDT To: Piet Hut
I agree that all sages have said that we have to know who we are - and unless we break free form the concept of the self and Maya - we are never going to understand the unverse and our relationship to it. And again the word 'our' comes into it - what does that mean ? But how do I get out of that gradually. Do I HAVE to come to that knowledge first - or can I go the other way

30th July, from shekhar << By the way, I'll try to keep future emails to much shorter lengths. Our dialogues will be most attractive if they contain at most a couple paragraphs at a time for each of our two voices, don't you think? >>
Fun !
Sunday 29th July : << We should have a full session on SPACE
> and TIME, next time we meet. >>
> yes that would be great - but I like to continue this conversation on the

who is the I ?
From: Piet Hut, 29th julu 2001, in response the following question from me :
"The past is imagined - but somewhat real - yes ? It happened - but ofcourse now exists in thought only - although physical ramifications of past actions are real - yes ? therefore from that point of view there is a reality ?"

'weird' ?
from shekhar to Piet : 28th July 2001 " This very moment is ALL that is real" - yes I agree, - But for you, is that scientific theorey that is current - or is it from your buddhist exploration ?

Are we imprisoned by Time ? Or vice versa ?
From: Shekhar Kapur, Sat, 28 Jul 2001
Piet :" All this is first experiential, only secondly theoretical."
Shekhar : "OK - yes - I am trying to get to grips with three things in relationship to the moment, which is the only truth - agreed..... "

This Moment is not the absence of Past and Present
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001, from Piet Hut
"There is no begining and no end" And actually no middle either. Every event (contradiction) exists in eternty - so that theoretically the nothingness still exists."

Is Space God ? Piet's reply.
but we have to go deeply into the question of what BEFORE means if time started with the big bang. I think the answer is that time has more aspects/dimensions than the linear clock-time. I think there is a primorial beyond-time that still has time-llike qualities, in fact may be the REAL time from which clock-time somehow borrows its existence. Again, we'll have to talk........

Is Space God ?
Question to Piet on 25th July 2001 : I am getting tired of the world trying to understand the universe and the Big Bang without trying to comprehend SPACE first. Because everything will come and go : there is one constant - SPACE - in which the universe is born - it dies - but Space is constant, immortal, infinite - Is Space God ?
