I guess once you realize those floaters in your vision are other people's bubbles of consciousness, intersecting your own, it all becomes beyond.

Consider that as these mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the point of the present, moving past to future. Though the reality is action and the resulting change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

So the energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated coalesce and dissolve, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it structure and form go future to past. Though it's the gut processing the energy, the nervous system sorting the information and the circulation system as feedback between the two.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in, as well.

We identify with complexity, but the simple is more sublime.
