Time is Undefinable

And so is just about every other concept

‘Time’ is defined as the interval between events:

time /tīm/

noun

1. A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.

2. An interval separating two points on this continuum; a duration.

   "a long time since the last war; passed the time reading."

3. A number, as of years, days, or minutes, representing such an interval.

   "ran the course in a time just under four minutes."

But when you look up interval, it is some measure of time! So it's circular logic:

interval /ĭn′tər-vəl/

noun

1. A space between objects, points, or units, especially when making uniform amounts of separation.

   "We set up hurdles at intervals of 15 yards around the track."

2. An amount of time between events, especially of uniform duration separating events in a series.

   "We ran laps at 30-second intervals."

3. A segment of an athletic workout in which an athlete runs, swims, or does other exercise over a series of predetermined distances at regular time increments with intermittent rests.

So the term ‘time’ has no foundation to stand on. You can’t tell a child time means time, because they will ask what that means- they are pure and wise like that! And it’s like saying, good means not bad, but bad means not good. And so various people have differing opinions on what is good and what is bad, of course. Space also has this circular logic, because a meter, for example, can be broken down into smaller intervals, say 100 centimeters, but what is a centimeter? We could say it is 1/100 of a meter, or 10 millimeters. But what is a millimeter, and so forth, until you get to what physicists call a Planck Length, where they tell us reality as we know it breaks down, as if cutting it in half is denied. It’s just a fancy term saying, ‘idk’, is it not? And so we don’t really have a grasp on space and time, area/Rhea and chronologies/Kronos.

Rupert Sheldrake talks about how they defined the meter and the speed of light, which they keep changing! :

If you prefer a transcript of the above snippet instead, here’s the quote:

…they're given in physics handbooks, handbooks of physics list the existing fundamental constants, tell you their value, but I wanted to see if they changed, so I got the old volumes of physical handbooks. I went to the patent office library here in London, and uh they're the only place I could find that kept the old volumes. Normally people throw them away when the new values come out ,uh they throw away the old ones. When I did this I found that the speed of light dropped between 1928 and 1945 by about 20 km/s. It's a huge drop because they're given with errors of any fractions of a decimal points of error, and yet all over the world it dropped and they were all getting values very similar to each other with tiny errors. Then in 1945 it went up 48. It went up again, and um then people started getting very similar values again. I was very intrigued by this, and I couldn't make sense of it so I went to see the head of Metrology at the national physical laboratory in Teddington. Metrology is the science in which people measure constants, and I asked him about this. I said what do you make of this drop in the speed of light between 1928 and 1945, and he said oh dear, he said you've uncovered uh the most embarrassing episode in the history of our science. So I said well could the speed of light have actually dropped, and that would have amazing implications if so. He said no no of course it couldn't have actually dropped, it's a constant, so oh well. Then how do you explain the fact everyone was finding it going much slower during that period is it because they were fudging their results to get what they thought other people should be getting, and the whole thing was just produced by in the minds of physicists. Um we don't like to use the word fudge. I said well what do you prefer? He said well uh we prefer to call it intellectual phase locking. So I said well if it was going on then how can we be so sure it's not going on today and that the present values are produced by intellectual phase locking, and he said we know that's not the case. I said how do we know? He said, well he said we've solved the problem, and I said well how? He said, well we fixed the speed of light by definition in 1972, so I said but it might still change. He said yes but we'd never know it because we've defined the meter in terms of the speed of light, so the units had change with it so he looked very pleased about that they'd fixed that problem.

The space and time inter-values that humans choose to divide things into are human-centric, but we could zoom in or zoom out to an infinitesimal point or to the entire universe, to zero or to infinity. This is why every point in the universe contains the whole universe- it’s a holographic universe where everything connects with everything else. Time does not exist outside of a terrestrial mind, and all events or timelines can be squished into a point or the entire universe, depending on the sophistication of the observer’s instruments. Our concept of time is anthropocentric, where the human mind needs to deal with events at a level that it can work with, compared to say a tree. Extra-terrestrial beings on the other hand, do not experience ‘time’ or ‘space’. Spiritual teachings say angels are emanations of light- angles of light, so they are timeless beings, light being without time. Light only gives, emits, does not take. Emit is the reverse of time. Like I mentioned in my Dinshah article, light/God/love are all the same, the outward giving, or evolution, not selfish involution, greed, desires, temptations, which has the ‘tempus’ root in it.

In Godfrey Higgins’ Anacalypsis, he writes:

the Hebrew word asdt, which the Septuagint translates angels, means effusions, that is, emanations, from the Divine substance

They say the Sun undergoes fusion reactions, but the light emanating from it is effusive, the opposite of fusion. The light radiation from the Sun Ras/rays emanate out from all angles into all of Rhea’s c-rea-tion, area, i.e., space. Of course, Kronos/Cronus is her consort and brother, so time and emit (radiation), or space and our intervals/inter-values for it, paces.

Higgins mentions that the ‘dt’ in asdt, or asdut, is related to the Median word, Dat, which signifies law or commandment (Medes was a region of Persia). Later, the variants Eschdot and Esch-Dot are mentioned. This root is probably related to the hidden Da’at in the middle pillar of the Sephiroth, and Da’at means, roughly, knowledge, or gnosis. Maybe this pointed dot is the atom nous. Keeping with the theme of wisdom/intellect/knowledge, this term ‘asdt’ sounds like ‘astute’. Nothing really exists except in our minds, and every ‘material’ thing that we create or manifest or reify, starts with ideas and wisdom and other concepts that don’t exist outside of the mind, but even institutional physicists are now saying that all we have in the universe is information, the data bits that form reality, the information in formation, informing our perception of reality, the I’s and O’s that cross into reality. The t in ratio would be the cross. Logos is the ratio or proportionality, like the Golden Ratio, which is what’s needed to manifest material reality. Life is a dream, how will you row your boat? Higgins again:

The ancient Persians believed, that the Supreme Being was surrounded with angels, or what they called Aeons or Emanations, from the divine substance . This was also the opinion of the Manicheans, and of almost all the Gnostic sects of Christians.

A point or Monad doesn’t exist in the sense of having a measurable number, just as light doesn’t have mass or timeframe. Then from this point comes a line, when you have a separation or division of this singularity into a duality. And you need a third point to have enough relationships to create a plane of reality, outside of the line. This trinity, or triangle, has three angles emanating from it, three angels/angles or ‘emanations’ of light, which doesn’t exist in the material realm until light illuminates something. The term, ‘tertiary’ has the root ‘ter’ as in material or terrestrial as opposed to ETs, which are extra-dimensional, and thus angels can see everything in our 3D world, if you know how 4D hypercubes work, or Terra Firma as opposed to the Firmament in outer space- a firm mind. Maybe ‘term’ is related to ‘tertiary’, i.e., words and names in our minds, the way we cut everything into categories with language terms when everything is really the same one thing, The All, the point source. We cut it in half, saw it in half, and it goes into the past: ‘it was’, the backwards of saw, instead of ‘it is’, being in the present, timeless, like light, from trinity, e-ternity. Another word for term, ‘definition’, literally means something has an end, has boundaries, as opposed to infinity. ‘Ternary’ makes me think that the word ‘turn’ and the concept of turning can only occur when you have three or more points, since two points only creates a straight line. And likewise, maybe the Sun is associated with ‘helio’ as in helix because it is constantly spiralling in addition to cycling, relative to our galaxy’s movement, so get spiritual, start spiraling upward. ‘Master’ has aster in it, so become a star, if you can break free from the time cycle, Samsara. Later Higgins states that Elias/Elijah/al-Ieu is Helios: “the Baptist was Elias, that is, in plain Greek, the sun.” Pelias and Neleus are mentioned as being born after a ten month pregnancy, a messianic sign, so this makes me think that these ‘elias’ or ‘elio’ roots have to do with the Sun or helical cycles. Back to how words and categories are associated with time, ‘term’ not only means words to categorize and delimit things, but it also means a time period, like terminal. Is the Universe predetermined, or does your free will allow you to break free from perceived limitations? Likewise, the word ‘spell’ not only means a length of time, as in ‘a long dry spell’, but also words spoken or written, like magic spells, like God’s spell or gospel. Inversely, the word ‘instance’ implies timelessness- it’s instant, of the present moment, not the past or future.

And guess what else is undefinable and not definite, i.e., infinitely recursive:

Energy, Force, Mass, Consciousness, Information, Truth, Mind, Identity, Value, Being, Existence, Reality, Substance, Cause, Effect, Change, Motion, Number, Quantity, Quality, Idea, Thought, Perception, Knowledge, Meaning, Understanding, Awareness, Will, Freedom, Life, Death, Spirit, Soul, God, Nature, Law, Justice, Morality, Good, Evil, Beauty, Love, Emotion, Intelligence, Memory, Experience…

Remember McKenna’s point about the one free miracle needed to start the ‘big bang’- that is also something inherently undefinable, although that whole thing is a house of cards.

Well, thought I’d something more to say, but… thanks for reading!

I recommend you watch this video to understand how imaginary numbers intersect the Cartesian 3D coordinate system of our realm. This will help you understand how ‘extraterrestrial’ beings can intersect into this realm sometimes:

The SATOR Square. Time appears to be nonlinear:

Silas Gauthier wrote this great record player analogy of time and our plight:

Our very consciousness is but a fleeting spark, tethered irrevocably to the immediate, the current moment, devoid of the phantom grasp of a linear past or the alluring mirage of a future yet to unfold. There exists no true past, no genuine future, only the singular now, perpetually lived and relived in a ceaseless, cyclical cosmic dance. Consider, if you will, the timeless allegory of the phonograph: the entirety of the record, the grand symphony of existence, is already meticulously laid out, a fixed set of unchanging events etched into its very essence, much like the rigid, determined tapestry of reality itself. Yet, our consciousness, the delicate needle of awareness, manifests only in that ephemeral instant as it is irrevocably dragged through the groove, rendering all other potential melodies on the disk simultaneously present but experientially inaccessible. Each individual, a unique needle upon this cosmic turntable, traverses specific points, plays out their designated "song," and upon its fated completion, is lifted only to be meticulously placed at its genesis, doomed to replay, again and again and again. Indeed, the past may have existed, a prior actualisation upon the grand record, yet consciousness remains tragically confined to its singular, fleeting moment of manifestation. This haunting record analogy is precisely the profound truth that has revealed itself to me within the labyrinthine echoes of my dreams. As our universe, like a cosmic Calabi–Yau manifold, perpetually folds in on itself, forming a closed, infinite system, the stark implication becomes chillingly clear: we are irrevocably condemned to forever inhabit the same life, to trace the identical groove, in an endless, cyclical recurrence. Thus, tragically bound to our awareness's singular, current position, much like the needle's solitary point of contact, we are forever severed from the profound awareness of both past and future. The needle, a mere punctum in the vast expanse of time, is capable of no forward or backwards transfer of information to its fleeting present. Our awareness of this intricate, deterministic system is cruelly limited to the infinitesimal impact, the precise point of our needle of consciousness – a profound quanta of confinement born of a bewildering cosmic contrivance.

Aristotle’s time paradoxes:

“You cannot step into the same river twice.” - Heraclitus. Here is Tom Bearden’s version of this concept from his discussion of Andrew Crosse’s abiogenesis of acari, i.e., ticks manifesting into our realm from electric currents. Faraday was the only one brave enough to replicate Crosse’s experiments, and they are recorded in the Royal Society records, but the misunderstanding of cause and effect in physics is what Tom addresses here: https://billstclair.com/www.cheniere.org/misc/sparkoflife.htm#mindcontrol.

Time is never observed, and no observable is a cause, a priori, because an observable is only a frozen, nonchanging 3-spatial “instant snapshot” and therefore the output of the observation process… physics has nearly hopelessly confused the causal side of the observation mechanism/process with the effect side, everywhere, throughout physics -- simply by assuming that observables persist in time -- a non sequitur since an observation is a frozen 3-space snapshot at one single instant.

And sadly, the physicists do not seem to have even realized it!. Not a single paper or text in the West, e.g., illustrates an EM wave in spacetime prior to its interaction with a unit point charge. E.g., simply check a fine editorial by… Robert H. Romer, “Heat is not a noun,” American Journal of Physics, 69(2), Feb. 2001, p. 107-109; and specifically to his end note #24, p. 109. Romer takes to task “…that dreadful diagram purporting to show the electric and magnetic fields of a plane wave, as a function of position (and/or time?) that besmirch the pages of almost every introductory book. …it is a horrible diagram. ‘Misleading’ would be too kind a word; ‘wrong’ is more accurate.” “…perhaps then, for historical interest, [we should] find out how that diagram came to contaminate our literature in the first place.”

But in general physicists continue to charge on, confusing effect as cause. Electrodynamics, e.g., is particularly guilty of greatly confusing the two, which is really what is preventing a successful and engineerable unified field theory. Further, contemporary classical electrodynamicists do not calculate either the field or the potential; instead they calculate the reaction cross section of each, interacting with a unit point charge assumed out of nowhere. In short, they calculate how much is diverged from the actual field or potential, and then call that “little extracted part” the field or potential!
