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 ? Oh no, that is from my own exploration, partly Buddhist, partly Taoist, partly other [...]
Rationalising or fooling yourself ?
"Maybe our concept of time is just a method for rationalising things and making it have a point or giving it a meaning... a perspective." yes absolutely, raviswamy, our five senses in their limitations need to reduce perception to rationalize our understanding of the world we inhabit... So we give everything a begining, and an [...]
Time and Event
ravi swami : Yes...moment and continuity are contradictions in terms - an 'event 'assumes a "before event and after event" situation - what you are saying is that every "event" exists and is not marked by a start and end point, if it did then "time" as concept has to exist - as in editing [...]
Time and time again
rawi swami said : .....time is actually (as we understand the meaning of the word) better described as "moment" or continuity - not an evolution of anything but a constant...within that constant there are "events"...us, supernovas, all instances of "local time".... I agree, ravi swami, but..... ..... if time is a constant and not an [...]
The Astrophysicist and the Filmmaker 2
I would urge anyone on this blog that is interested in the exploring the areas where mysticism and science collide to click on the blog on top of the page about my conversations with Peit Hut, the astrophysicist. Though these conversations happened 6 years ao, I am finding them fascinating all over again. Piet has [...]
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..... " the past is imagined - but somewhat real - [...]
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." Yes. And I find it very helpful to approach all this experientially, simply by feeling how this present moment is really [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
