Brief theory of time..

I believe our notion of time is flawed. Time has been represented as something that moves from left to right.Although this is good for charting, the problem comes when we start relating to time like that.That it is linnear. That it flows from past to future and we are somewhere in the middle called present.Lets take one at a time.

Past. Past exists only in mind not in reality. There is no past for trees, birds and cows. Past is a function of mind, a function of memory. It is just a charge stored in brain (just as in hard disk). As such it has no bearing in the present. The fact that one failed at a math test10 years ago has nothing to do with how he is going to do in the test today. Unfortunately we dont relate it that way.We say I am not good at maths. We bring the memory into today as if it is reality. Most people are living todaythe life of an upset four year old. Relating to life with the event that had happened in their childhoods.

Present. Present is the only real thing. Now is the only moment. For everyone except humans they only deal with now.They are only bothered with the current moment. Even little kids who haven't yet been taught this concept of time live in present. Hence they enjoy their every moment and give it fully (compared to adults who wait for the weekend).

Future. Future again,exists only in mind not in reality. It is the imagination of how things would be someday.There is no future for trees, birds and cows. Only humans do. But there is an awesome thing about future. It gives you energy. Imagine how you felt when you heard the news of new job or met someone interesting. Well nothing has happened yet but the mind creates a future and you are different right now. Compare this to a time when you had done something wrong and were waiting to be found out. Life is such a drag. Create a future from fear or greed and it will give you negative energy. Create a future from love and abundance and it will give you positive energy, that will drive you towards intention.I think being able to create a future is the most amazing gift that humans have.

Every moment is the start of the rest of life. It has nothing to do with how the life has been so far. Life can be created as desired free from the past. From the future of love and abundance.

We should have a different representation for time. Suggestions welcome.
