Infinity Consciousness -- Everyone has it, but tricked by a concept.
It's "time" to get rid of "linear time" and put "simultaneous time" into the cultural consciousness.
Tricked by a concept.
The concept is "linear time". Past, present, future. In this methodology, the present is represented as infinitesimally small, it's represented as "sandwiched" between the past and the future.
This is all fine and good on paper, but direct experience does not show this.
If you stop and observe, all you experience is a "spacious present". Do you actually observe yourself moving from the "past" to the present ?
At what point do you observe the "future" coming into your present ?
You don't.
Linear time has it's applications, but as with all applications if taken too far they do more harm then good.
We all have infinity consciousness, the trick is to not get tricked.
Alan Watts
“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend
to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to
happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around!
What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't
explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a
ship and eventually disappears.”
