On the ego and its illusions; We are mobile creatures with a sequential process of perception and a narrative based culture, so we think of time as the point of the present, moving past to future. The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

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

Time is an effect of this activity, like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Think frequencies and amplitudes. Ideal gas laws correlate volume with temperature and pressure, but we don’t call them the 5th and 6th dimensions of space, because they are only foundational to our emotions, bodily functions and environment, not the sequence of thought.

The energy, the process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. As consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts and feelings go future to past.

As galaxies are energy radiating towards infinity, while mass/form coalesces toward equilibrium. Both entropic.

The anarchy of desire, versus the tyranny of judgement. The heart and the head.

As Emerson put it, “We are but thickened light.”
