Some insights I’ve come across, trying to make sense of it all;

Time isn’t so much the point of the present, moving past to future, as it is change, turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. There is no physical dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, in order to inform and drive it, aka, causality and conservation of energy.

So the energy goes past to future, while the information goes future to past. As consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past.

A spiritual absolute would necessarily be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. It’s just that some form and framing has to be applied to this “energy.” So culture settled on the top down father figure lawgiver.

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

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as forms coalesce in.

Feedback loops all the way down.
