IT"S BEEN SAID THAT MOST OF US ARE NOT SEEING THE PRESENT BUT ACTUALLY VEIWING THE PAST. LIKE YOU THINK YOUR HEARING ME AND THINKING YOU SEE  ME BUT YOUR SIMPLY SEEING THE PAST. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN EXPLAIN  THIS RIDDLE OF SORTS?

Well....I think it is a very philosophic question....with no much everyday value.

What is present.....it can be a definition question.....and most of us agree it is when we interact...when we live now in this moment.

It can also be defined as the action I do in this milli second....when I have put down one letter...I have put it down..it's already past when I put down my next...and when you can read my post....it's way past....if everything is counted in milli-seconds.

The same is when we talk...as soon as your words have left your mouth...it has happen...it can't be taken back...so you talked not in present...but in past.
When we see someone walk...then the movement is done...it is past.

This has in my opinion only interest for thinkers (not that I am such )

Everything is what we define it as, what is more important is that we are able to communicate, live in the moment,and as long as we can do that without waiting for a message, we do it in real time....even if this time is defined as past, present or future

PHILOSOPHICAL? SOME WOULD CLASSIFY MY QUESTION AS SUCH AND OTHERS WHO HAVE TOUCHED THE ETERNAL NOW WOULD SAY IT IS OF THE GREATEST VALUE IN EVERYDAY LIFE. IT IS WHAT IT IS TO THE PURVEYOR.

SO, I HAVE GIVEN YET, ANOTHER HINT.[/b]

TIME AND SPACE
Theologically, the Vedic literature discusses time as a potency of God – a natural emanation of the smallest material particle that God creates. This atomic particle (called anu) is among the fundamental building blocks of material nature. The Bhagavatam elaborates, explaining how atoms take up material space and are consequently subject to time (since time is measured in space). Because both space and time are material, the Bhagavatam connects them to maya, the illusion. In other words all changes that result from the vicissitudes of time are temporary, like a dream. Only Krishna and His avatars - the spiritual domain – are beyond the dictates of time and its influence.

However, in some ways time does appear to exist in the spiritual realm. Krishna rises in the morning, milks the cows, then eats breakfast, goes to the forest with His friends and the cows, plays all day, and in the evening returns to Vrindavan village, etc. It must be noted, though, that all these pastimes exist simultaneously. Each moment is eternally present. Since this constitutes an unfathomable concept of time, the Vedic literature concludes that, in the spiritual realm, time (as we know it) is conspicious by its absence.


But again.....it is a definition....we live now...communicate now.....or if we agree and define it as : we lived 1000 years ago we communicated 1000 years ago....the only thing that change is the definition.. and most of what we do are defined by people and can be something else if we agree upon it and change it...2 might even be defined as 4..in my opinion

Only Maya changes. TRUTH is changeless and seekers must seek as they are drawn by the CHANGELESS ONE.
