What would you do if time didn't matter?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 30, 2008:
Well, first, does time exist? I don't think it does. Our limited, 3D, sequential perspective creates the concept of "time."
So, to answer the question, in my limited, temporal perspective, I'd still be in the process of full connection to all that "is."

NIce, Scribe!
Very cool image~ I'm appreciating it from my limited 3-d perspective;-)
I don't think time really exists either
:)
Hafele and Keating Experiment
“During October, 1971, four cesium atomic beam clocks were flown on regularly scheduled commercial jet flights around the world twice, once eastward and once westward, to test Einstein's theory of relativity with macroscopic clocks. From the actual flight paths of each trip, the theory predicted that the flying clocks, compared with reference clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory, should have lost 40+/-23 nanoseconds during the eastward trip and should have gained 275+/-21 nanoseconds during the westward trip … Relative to the atomic time scale of the U.S. Naval Observatory, the flying clocks lost 59+/-10 nanoseconds during the eastward trip and gained 273+/-7 nanosecond during the westward trip, where the errors are the corresponding standard deviations. These results provide an unambiguous empirical resolution of the famous clock “paradox” with macroscopic clocks.”

yeah, Jan ~ we've gotta work with what we're currently tapped into. hey, ruth ~ I found your blog post already (how about that?)
already? all ready. yes ok. :-)
In all my meanderings round and about gaia, I have never felt more comforted than with this topic and the response of others here to to my own blog - and then reading outward toward their blogs as well.
I suppose from a small child, it was all the old hymns and OT references to time as ageless, endless, simultaneous, connected, that made me feel at home in the universe. Add a bit of physics to that and I can allow myself to free fall into presence with joy and peace.
But how did our race ever get so dogedly on the blinded racetrack of linear time? It is sooo sooo disconnecting. It alienates us from reality and estranges us from one another:
Time is money
Get ahead
Time is running out
You missed your chance
There are fifteen people ahead of you in line
Indeed, time is just an illusion.
