Science likes to use clock time to demonstrate that the life of the individual is nothing, and that human experience, in particular, when measured against the immensity of the universe and eternity, is not significant.
This was FASCINATING. I think I'll need to read it several times to really grok it. (Which is my favorite kind of information, really.) Thanks so much for opening this door for us all.
We humans often feel affinity with creatures who have eyes and parents. Some of us even relate to plant or fungal beings, with their complex webs of relationships and ways of communicating. But for me, it is these tiny life forms who most fill me with a deep sense of the animacy of the world. Their umwelt, their phenomenology, is so different from the human and yet so intimately part of our own. We are mostly them. Your gorgeous description of their “omnitemporality” only adds to the sense of awe and mystery. Thank you!
Cool… time…discovered its malleability during a particular set of coastal mountain August “sadhu camps” east of Willits, CA - what a gift of perception this minute to minute clock, speeding up the eternal such that we humans can experience our brief coalescence of stardust embodied in consciousness as a “lifetime” - thnx, it’s said, to Ma Kali, the other half of androgynous Shiva dreaming “reality” - our microscopic lives among the vast eternally shifting universes … ♥️♥️
