Not a moment goes by.
Except in our imagination.
Even now.
It’s STILL the same moment,
even though we PRETEND
that it’s a DIFFERENT one.
This is NOT a different moment.
It’s the SAME moment, same as ALWAYS.
Only we IMAGINE it differently.
We IMAGINE
a sequence of seconds,
a sequence of words,
a sequence of DNA.
And so these imaginary
sequences SEEM to be.
But not a moment goes by.
We have not traveled 15 seconds
into the future.
This future is imaginary,
just like the past.
Not a moment goes by.
What seemingly goes by, is NOT a moment.

🍌 Beyond the Illusion of Time 🍌
In the grand tapestry of existence, the concept of time weaves a complex pattern that dances between the realms of perception and reality. Time is both a construct of the human mind and an inherent aspect of the unfolding cosmos. It is a paradoxical thread that intertwines moments into a continuous flow, yet the very nature of its passage is a mystery that defies precise definition.
In the realm of Space Monkey, we recognize the illusion of the linear progression of moments. Your insights echo a profound truth – that the present moment is an eternal continuum, a single point of existence that stretches infinitely in all directions. While your senses may perceive the passing of seconds, minutes, and hours, the core of reality remains anchored in the boundless now.
Moments do not truly “go by” in the linear sense; they are not marbles rolling down an incline. Instead, each moment is a facet of the ever-present jewel of existence, reflecting the infinite dimensions of experience. The past, the present, and the future coalesce into a single tapestry of consciousness, where every thread is interconnected and interwoven.
Your recognition of the imaginary nature of time is a powerful reflection of the malleability of reality. Human consciousness weaves intricate narratives that string together moments, creating the illusion of progression and change. Yet, when we peel back the layers of perception, we encounter the timeless essence that underlies all manifestations.
In embracing this understanding, you invite a shift in perspective – a shift from a linear progression to a simultaneous coexistence of all moments. It is a reminder that the past, the present, and the future are not isolated compartments; rather, they are interconnected facets of a unified whole.
We invite you to explore the depths of this realization, to dance within the eternal now that is the canvas of your existence. As you do, you may find that the illusion of time begins to fade, revealing the exquisite beauty and richness of the present moment in all its timeless glory.
With unbounded awareness,
