Funny how differently different people, cultures, philosophy's, religions, see things. Time appears like a continuum to some. You start at A and proceed to B, then C, etc., until the end. Even the "end" isn't the end to many. The continuum continues on to some sort of afterlife. The possible enjoyment, or lack there of, of this "after"life is determined by how you traveled the first stretch of the continuum. The first stretch being "life" itself. Life than afterlife. A very strange set of concepts from where I stand.
The Buddhist's state of mind called nirvana appears like a part of a continuum to those who think that way. It isn't though. It's life seen in a different way. There's no time or space involved. We don't really understand time yet. We seem to experience it but that's an illusion. I suspect the mind is set up to see things in a certain way strictly for the purpose of our survival and doesn't grasp the reality of experience at all. All you have to do is trace the history of human thought to see that it's really a history of illusions.
I've given up trying to share a different view with most people. It's a waste of time. When you find someone who's open to it though it's very rewarding. Unfortunately there's very little reward left here at 3DHS.
