God IS a Timex watch, the ultimate Timex, if we think of the clock as the heart of the universe. If time is life, than the time keeper, the time field is for all intents and purposes, GOD.

Hello Garth Mando. Even though I remain intellectually atheist, I've arrived at similar conclusions. Time *embraces* ALL life, yet is continually reinventing the forms. It is a foolish experiment to concretize the sums of infinity...

Hello Paul Vonharnish, Jesus in the Naq Hamadi, someone asked Jesus what will be the Kingdom of God be alike? Jesus answering, there shall be no time.

Please preserve the distinctions made in scripture separating the "kingdom of God" from the "kingdom of heaven". One is purely spiritual, thus exists outside of time, the other is physical manifestation on earth, which is timed.

Yes. I've read several translations of the Naq Hammandi texts. Sad that the majority of modern Christians neglect these important early codices. For interested readers: >>> The Gnostic Society Library as The Nag Hammadi Library >>> http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl.html

When one discussed any one of a number of "resource-driven issues", such as depopulation, climate control, or anything related to economics, then one is discussing resources.

I've spent the vast majority of my life studying and practicing science. When "The Science" can describe where a duck comes from, maybe they'll be getting close.

The reality is we are living in a magical entity we call Earth. And we have no idea where we came from or where we are going. I enjoy trying to figure it out, but we never will. The only sure thing I know is all living things come from other living things. No living thing will ever come from the non-living. And, in order for living things to survive, other living things must die for food/fertilizer. This is why you say grace.

Sorta reinforces what the Good Lord said wayyyyyyyy back at Genesis ch2 in describing the four rivers that flow from the garden. "4" is used throughout scripture as a metaphor for time, thus the idea that "time flows like a river", always finite & bounded (on earth, but not heaven).

To put into simplest form, time is nothing more than a process that God uses to deal with man. Period.

Only man measures time.

Expand full comment

Only man records events in reference to time, in order to do this man must measure time. all measurements of time are occurences of regular repeated events, ie the oscillations of a crystal or the vibrations of an atom.

Man records events, time is a necessary precursor to accomplish this. Don't confuse the rainbow with the rain.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on Native American concepts of time and process. Western culture often perceives time as a linear progression that advances from past to present to future in a straight line. In contrast, many Native American cultures observe that the rhythm of the world is circular, as is the life of all beings and forms. In these cultures, time tends to be experienced as cyclical and rhythmic, rather than linear and progress oriented. Most Native American languages, for instance, do not have past and future tenses; they reflect instead a perennial reality of the present. These differing perceptions of time have contributed to the misunderstandings that characterize so many interactions between Native and non-Native Americans.

well, turns out the Indians are very limited, and that's why they are such pets for the globalists. They are easy to control since they don't seem to have the tools for higher reasoning (language) connecting the dots between the past, present and the future. And this is, based on comments by other readers, not unique to the American Indians, but is exhibited by some other tribal cultures, too.

When we get rid of watches and clocks, there is no time. There are only cycles.

Expand full comment

Nope. Time exists independent of watches or clocks. Although I love my Patek Philippe.

Expand full comment

Out there, there are only cycles and changes. Our mind is so afraid of changes happening beyond its control that it has come up with the concept of time to make measurements.

“Day” is a cycle unit. Natural, objective, ever-present, always as One. There can only be one day. The next day is also one day. More than one day means a change or a cycle, depending on our perception and its scope of focus.

“Time” is not objective. Some days are 6 hours long, some are 18 hours long - which proves the arbitrary nature of our perception of (measurement of) time. Nobody needs to measure hours. We need to live in harmony with the inner day (between sleep cycles) and with the outer day (between night cycles).

The only people who need time are those who want you to pay. Time is measurable and enforceable. Whatever is measurable can be rationed, given, taken, allocated, split into parts, made a commodity.

Disruption of changes/cycles is an interesting phenomenon: jet lag, very long or very short days/nights in certain geographical locations, the effect of natural phenomena (especially “disasters”) on human routines, impact of strong emotions on us (falling in love, fear, fascination). Time is irrelevant then - we need to regain cycle harmony and fast to remain sane.

Expand full comment

perception is arbitrary and internal, time is objective and absolute.

Expand full comment

cycles are measurements of time. time exists without watches or clocks. The sun is a measurement of time used for eons before clocks.

Your body is a measure of time, ask any woman, or if you live long enough even a man will notice himself changing.

Consider a magnetic field, it exists on earth, a compass can measure direction or alignment of the field in regards the land and ocean, without a compass the field still exists.

Time is likely a field, that we exist within, our understanding of time is very limited, we understand gravity better than time and we don't know very much about gravity at all.

we measure time by counting regularly occurring events, this is not to say we understand time, merely that we know how to count extremely small events precisely and use it as a map to model the passage of time.

What time is, why it exists, why we can only perceive and understand "now" and not any moment other than "now" is a complete mystery.

The past is a memory, the future is a dream, and now is occurring all around us and slipping away like sand clutched in our fists.

TPTB love the concept of time and for the control it has over us. Rules and more rules that you need to live by. HolliDays, workDays, Monday through SunDay, supper time, alone time. And even daylight savings time, what are we saving...??? Time??? The animals don't care what day it is, they follow nature's law and not man made laws. The computer, AI can only follow strict laws and formulas, its what they want for us.

'They' want to take away our freedom to choose and many folks are quite willing to be led... Right off the cliff. Our world could have been so much better if we had been taught the beauty of nature and how we are all connected to kinetic life rather than the dead science of entropy.

We live in a Matrix (simulation), Dan. So, no worries :-)

We hadn’t known this before we saw “Matrix” and before some magician coined the line of the programming code: “we live in a simulation”.

Besides, if we lived in a simulation, we wouldn’t be able to recognize it.

We don’t even understand what “simulation” is - because we do not have a non-simulation life parallel to compare.

So it’s only a mind pulp. Conclusion: no worries :-)

"I remember reading when I was a child that certain American Indians had no words for time."

That is what is called denigrating your adversary. We all read as children that native American women were squaws. A squaw in Lakota language is a whore.

If you walk out of a room and close the door leaving your dog on the other side, then open it again after 30 seconds, the dog will act as if it hasn't seen you for ages. I.e. no concept of time.

In short, the author of that book wanted you to think: Native Americans = Dogs.

Time is arbitrary and totally made up for man... by man.

If time were a “science” or an absolute, there wouldn’t be an International Time Zone that doesn’t hit a mass of land. Do you think Magellan wrote down the dates and times of his exploration? No, he cataloged his experience as “Day One”, “Day Two”, and so forth.

Why is the International Date Line not straight? The measurement of time is completely made by man and that is why there are time zones.

As an aside, I am watching “Game of Thrones” and one of the characters said to another character “... I need to talk with you, it will only take an hour...” yet, there are no clocks or timepieces. How could someone come up with a concept without a reference? I know about Sundials and the ability of aboriginal people to measure time with the moon but the measurements were parochial and not intended to be recognized outside of their very defined areas.

Everybody is experiencing everything real-time, so why isn’t everyone realizing the same “time”?

Expand full comment

More to the point: There was a guy in London who thought it would be a good idea that the observatory at Greenwich would be a kind of zero. Which confirms what you say regarding time being "arbitrary".

On the other hand, one day and one night put together are not arbitrary. They last exactly THIS long.

I get what you're saying.

"How could someone come up with a concept without a reference?"

Exactly! That's why what's-his-face came up with the reference. Greenwich Mean Time, or newspeak: the Universal Time Coordinate.

i find this very difficult to beleive, No words for time. They may have had several different ways to express it, ie "many moons ago" when "the great bears walked the earth" etc. these imply time if not outright express it.

Indians planted crops, corn and beans and squash,, The 3 sisters method.

to farm, one most understand time and have a calendar. to know when to plant and when not to plant.

Indians had obsevatories for measuring the movement of heavenly bodies.

that's too bad. If this is to be believed, then it explains why American Indians were easy to capture, subdue and exterminate, despite being fierce warriors. They have no higher reasoning tools or communications.

They have other not in particular higher tools to communicate, and as I watch the elite intelligentsia they have lost almost everything of what is connected with real reasoning; Empathy, solidarity, love, understanding, and there exist a direct communication as well, beyond the verbal and semantic, but our universities have never invested in them, although the CIA and DARPA does.

The idea of a circular cyclic rhythm of time is also the Hebrew concept.

Expand full comment

Even if they did not have a specific word for time — which itself is doubtful, given the risk in making a general statement about the many tribes that have existed to date — it is certainly the case that tribal elders of different nations have made prophecies. A prophecy naturally relates to the future and the guidance of descendents going forward, so native peoples certainly do have a sense of time, even if it’s not clear that no specific word exists for it. Also, the Mayan people have their ancient calendar which has been much discussed in the West, and indicates an involvement with cycles of time. On the other hand, native peoples embrace spiritual mythos which have a quality of timelessness, so… native traditions are a rich canvas to contemplate, to say the least.

Not sure about that. Most shamanic Natives were aware of conceptual "now" in relationship with "past". Native story tellers always referred to the "elders" as possessing wisdom. Of course modern "wisdom" negates all that...

I guess we have an intermission/distraction between pandemics.

We are Electric, Magnetic and Frequency beings:

Nikolai Kozyrev’s models were interesting for his time and he was correct on many aspects. Yes, medicine and science began to die in the 1920’s. Einstein, Newtonian and quantum physics are very flawed. I suppose his view of asymmetry is important but there are many other factors in the electric universe. I propose some findings that may expand some views. I am no scientist so I relied on others.

Dr Jerry Tennant, MD (Healing is Voltage, The Handbook)

Dr Tennant found that modern medicine was not helpful for his malaise. His doctors told him there was no hope for his brain encephalitis. He decided to relearn how cells work in the body. He found voltage/electrons were very important to health and curing disease. Disease is lack of electrons or as some people say low pH/metabolic acidosis. Dr Tennant took this much further and found we are very much electric, magnetic and frequency beings. Our muscles create electrons through our muscles piezoelectric effect, store the electrons and then transmit them through our electrical grid of 13 circuits. Our cells require -25mv (7.35mv) to operate properly and -50mv to repair cells. I knew that pH was important but Dr Tennant opened my eyes to the voltage criteria. We know from Otto Warburg cancer cells can be created by reducing oxygen to a cell, (1931). pH is a voltage across a liquid. As the voltage drops the liquid absorbs less oxygen. So disease is both a lack of oxygen and lack of voltage. A duality.

The Electric Universe and Scalar Energy

Nikola Tesla was the father of the electric universe and scalar energy. Dr Konstantin Meyl has shown scalar energy works and demonstrates it through his website meyl.eu. Dr J Tennant’s book Healing is Voltage, Scalar Energy, goes through the history of physics, math and electronics showing what we take as granted is very flawed.

The Fourth Phase of Water, Dr Gerald Pollack

Dr Pollack found that the water in our body has a fourth phase, a jell or structured water called H3O2 which has excess electrons. Dr Pollack proposes the heart is not a pump and that the blood/plasma is propelled by the structured water in the exclusion zones.

So now what: I believe what is happening to our bodies is taking away electrons to cause many diseases. If you want to believe it is a spike protein, mRNA, glycoprotein, leprechaun or nanotech that’s ok. I don’t understand how anything biological could do this damage, but I’m no scientist.

How can we add electrons/oxygen: grounding/earthing, H2O2 IV, sodium bicarbonate, V C IV high dose, H202 IV or chlorine dioxide (Dr Andreas Kalcker), plus many others.

Perception is a lens on our consiousness that allows us to perceive what is important for day to day survival. Our brain throws away most of what we give it through our sensory apparatus. if we could "see" the entire electromagnetic spectrum we would be useless for anything, even menial tasks.

birds and other animals who migrate are thought to perceive electromagnet fields, ie magnetic north. There are likely other sense at work in animals of the sea, as well.

most of the additional sensory apparatus is used for survival.

Our minds are greater, for our senses being limited, it gives quiet to contemplate, and time to run ideas into theories and experiments. Television turns off the mind as does the smart cell phone. Objects of distraction are not your friend, nor amenable to deep thought, understanding or even a peaceful mind.

Lsd and its bretheren, used occasionally and purposefully can infuse new thoughts and ways of understanding, chronic use only causes confusion and loss of personality. look at the Mk-Ultra experiments in Canada. massive overuse of lsd and shock therapy under lsd.

We can understand more than we know, but it requires us to consider the world about us as more than a place to find our next meal, and a catalog of social climbing clues. The economic system is a mind trap meant to dissolve your curiousity into a chase for dollars and status. One should avoid this as much as possible, that is to say, understanding what is enough to sustain oneself is important, as it gives time for other pursuits, such as contemplating the nature of life and our lives, and our reasons for being here now at these moments, among these others wandering and wondering.

The true nature of perception, is to perceive the systems occurring around one, and to notice the exits hidden by the crowds of perplexed overstimulated noncurious zombies.

Wonderfully prosed insights Garth. Your comment: 'Birds and other animals who migrate are thought to perceive electromagnet fields, ie magnetic north. There are likely other sense at work in animals of the sea, as well. Most of the additional sensory apparatus is used for survival.' [End quote] Spot on...

Insects such as bees and butterflies also display directional sensory perception. It is thought these mechanisms rely on magnetite crystals embedded in sensory tissues. Considering the physical size of bee or butterfly "brain" tissues, we should ask why many human populations have lost directional orientation... I think it is due to electromagnetic broadcast with associated neuron over-stimulation, and mass erosion of magnetite from sensory tissues... I digress...

I believe the *present* moment is the ongoing and ultimate manifestation of God... Don't throw rocks at it... Best regards.

So fascinating, tantalizing, thank you for posting

Expand full comment

Thank you for taking the time (ha!) to use your unique gifts to lay this out! My head is exploding.

The Bible describes Jesus as "the life" (John 14:6) and "the Author of life" (Acts 3:15), pre-existent to all things (John 1:1-2) the Maker of all things: “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being… by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him.” (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16), the “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them… The God who made the world and all things in it.” (Acts 4:24, 17:24)

All here (repeatedly so we puny creatures get it) means… all. I.e., time, life and these peculiarities of geology and astrophysics which AI seems hellbent on lying about. Hmm…

(Extra credit: who does Jesus call “a liar from the beginning” (of time) and “the father of lies”?)

Here’s one kicker of a connection I’m making—and I hope others make also—as I read your excellent article. The writer of the book of Hebrews states that Christ Jesus, "upholds the universe by the word of His power.” I.e., the God-man not only actively ordains every vibration of every subatomic particle—and has done so since creation—He chooses to do so on this great canvas of what we perceive as time, for a purpose, with a distinct direction: a beginning and an end.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” He says, three times so our puny sin-addled brains get it. (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13)

And here’s another: In multiple places, e.g., the sheep-and-goats judgment at the end of time (Matthew 25:31-46) Jesus speaks in left-right asymmetrical terms: sheep on His right, ushered in to paradise; goats on His left, damned to hell.

In His wisdom, we get one time-bounded shot at this. We cannot transcend on our own merits. Death is the curtain. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Trust Him while there's still time.

here's a comment on a Naked Emperor article about Fusion that seems to fit well.

"I loved reading the article saying Fusion power is 10 years away. From a University speech I give:

"Fifty years ago I was a grad student studying nuclear physics and there was a real excitement in the air. It was widely believed by top physicists and most of the profession that:

"We had learned an awful lot about the Universe and thought we knew enough to,

Soon create a Grand Unified Field Theory (GUT) of everything that would explain the Universe, and,

Commercial Fusion Power is 10 years away."

So fifty years later:

"We totally missed Dark Energy and Dark Matter, 95%? of the Universe, but still thought we knew enough,

There may be millions of alternative Universes and any GUT is a long time away, if ever, and,

Commercial Fusion Power is 10 years away."

I also use the line in my speeches that "We don't know much and a lot of what we do know is wrong".

Glad to see Commercial Fusion Power is still only 10 years away. I do love the Oldies. Like Hubris."

Like the Hubris of ignoring alternatives as so perfectly displayed in Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolution". Hubris all the way down.

In my pseudo-philosophical musings about time and matter, I have always tended to equate time with entropy, and the "flow-of-time" with changes. A simple illustration: the gold wedding band I wear has undergone very little changes over 25 years. I do not expect it o oxidize, and if it were to be kept locked away, it would not see changes, ever. My wife and I, on the other hand, show significant signs of "flow-of-time" over the same 25 years. Similarly, my 5-year-old Border Collie has already lived about 1/3 of its life... (which makes me sad). Perhaps my point is that everything experiences time differently, and maybe that's a result of how time and its energy interacts with such things, affecting entropy and change. Ok, that was a little circular. Happy New Year!

Expand full comment

Yes, according to Kozyrev living things draw energy from the flow of time, and it would stand to reason that different types of living things would do it differently and experience different rates of aging. Gold is a purified inert element, so would not be subject to this, perhaps on very very long time scales, but I am not sure about that.

I think that's the soul. The soul is timeless. Body is a temporary vessel or channel interacting with the flow of time.

Expand full comment

Just going full Catholic here, I'd advance that the soul is eternal, but not timeless. God the creator would be timeless, as God is not subject to past, present, or future. Souls are created ("procreation") at conception, but are unending, and such, eternal. Souls would be subject to the flow of time, as they need to be brought to existence and move forward from that point. In a way, our whole progression from conception to natural end is a "Gibbs Free Energy" diagram, exergonic, with ups-and-downs. And with this I concede that my gold band theory may not show timelessness after all!

they haven't figured those details yet. They are now constructing a yuge AF magnet and a yuger still building and some parking lots. Maybe dig a yuge hole in the ground, why not. The money is free...

Employee’s file kept by the employer is such a time harnessing device, and actionable. When in a tangible form (paper), absolutely perfect. Digital - easily modifiable, which would suggest that we can alter time digitally. Printed documents would invalidate such alterations, though. Pretty complex stuff.

you're confusing tracking kinetic motion with time. you need to zoom out a bit. paper (analog) and digital are 2 sides of the same coin, neither involve manipulating time itself.

Digital and analog are man made tools to manipulate the world, which is what humans do. We cannot manipulate the universe in any meaningful way, especially in comparison to how much the universe can manipulate us.

One good solar flare and humanity is back to a few thousand people in caves and thats just a gnats ass worth of the power in our solar system, the universe is made of trillions of galaxies, composed of billions of stars.

Yes. Humans tend to inflate mans importance. No sense of proportion... “Infinity would suggest that the individual is always infinitely outnumbered” - Paul Vonharnish - (September 19, 2019)

Pairing analog / digital is a big misconception almost everyone falls for.

Digital is an artifact possible only when you a) connect electricity to b) a device that c) converts electrical signals to human-legible format. A) means that digital cannot be true because it is impermanent and has no lasting effect. B) means that it exists only when something else exists - and the meaning of the digital contents will depend on the biases embedded in the device. C) means that the interpretation of the digital depends on the intentions of the programmer - which makes the whole digital realm non-objective.

By the way, the digital has never existed before ca. 1945-1950. Which in itself tells us that it cannot be coupled with the analog realm - which is the foundation of our existence and interpretation of this existence and the only verifiable expression of this existence. Because nothing can be verified with software. Literally nothing. All verification is only possible through our physical senses. Everything else (including theories, fantasies, “science”) is freestyle play with words. The digital only helped this huge fantasy world to force the mind into non-critical submission.

digital is merely for our intents and purposes, binary code. on/off, 2 states, high/low, these 2 states are used to represent numbers (digits) hence digital. it has nothing to do with electricity, other than electrical states are used to represent on/off or high/low in modern, or contemporary computers. Electricity was also used in record players, radio, and television which was analog for most of its life span.

analog is a model or representation a vinyl record groove is a analog of the sound signal it represents. a vinyl record can be stamped from a metal master, each copy the same (more or less) just like a digital cd, which uses pits in dye to represent binary numbers, which can be stamped from a master ot reproduce million of copies.

Digital and analog are the two most common ways of representing data in common use in the world.

Damn straight. Digital signal processors (as persons) would have enthusiasts believe the Universe turns on and off millions of times a second, and can be dithered into analog experience. What for? It's "Patently" silly. Patent holder: "Let's turn time on and off and see how that works... Jeeze!

The Universe is an infinite *continuum*. Fortunately...

Consider if Time is a field that extends around or embeds itself in every bit of the universe, and the universe is very big indeed (its filled with zeros and I know alot of them). Then the potential energy within a field that large would be comparable to the energy and matter contained in the entire universe, many times over.

When tapping large energy forces it is best to be very careful as local problems might be extreme though short lived, think explosions for instance. A very high voltage discharge of electricity occurs as lightning. Time itself may manifest occasional discharges from its field, how they might manifest is an interesting thought problem.

Perhaps world creation or suns and their solar systems are manifestation of time discharges.

The concept of "free" energy neglects physical realities inherent within *expenditure* of energy. The mechanical properties of thermodynamics cannot be ignored within a closed system. Our physical reference point (in the now) dictates the relationships of physical energy and time. Quantum theory perhaps scratches the surface, but does not explain the constant expansion of time *continuum*.

You would be surprised…life itself, the mind, our experiences, memories are all discontinuous. One moment to another are in reality completely disconnected. Buddha will never talk about reincarnation but transmigration, the one living on into a next life is not the same anymore and his whole mindset and living will not continue. At 8, 30, 80 or at 100 years the same person talking to all the year stages he has gone through, he will at the most have a hunch but no more related, alienation has happened.

Time energy could be what the unknown 'dark energy' is?

Expand full comment

Dark energy is a "construct" a placeholder to explain a phenomena that can't be explained. its like santa claus for astrophycists.

Think bigger, there is more unknown than known in our understanding of the universe or even our own minds and physiology.

Expand full comment

Yes, that was my point. Dark Energy is a placeholder for one of the many things that we don't understand. So it could be anything.

It is not a construct though, since it has been proven to exist, even though we don't know what it really is. Just like Dark Matter and gravity.

Now, the so called 'Big Bang Theory' is definitely a mythical construct, IMHO.

dark energy has NOT been proven to exist, it is thought or offered as means to explain, excess energy exhibited by celestial bodies and processes, which cannot be explained by conventional energetic interactions.

When they do the maths and the numbers don't add up, the amount needed to make the numbers work is labeled "dark energy", it allows the current model to work, by stringing it together with something that doesn't exist.

its called Dark Energy, not because they know the colour of the energy, but Dark as in hidden or unseeable. They could call it "Pink Elephant Farts" and it would be just as real, and more entertaining, but scientist like to appear inscrutable, so Dark Energy, conjures the mystical and gives gravity. its humiliating to just say, "we don't know why and our numbers wont work unless we add this Magic Energy to cover the difference.

if it ever is proven to exist, they will know what it is, and it will no longer be named Dark Energy
