The real problem is that as mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our sense of time is the present flowing past to future, when the evident reality is that change turns 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.
It is like a tapestry being woven of strands pulled from what was woven.
So we are constantly trying to frame this cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality as a linear goal oriented objective.
It's like we really haven't come to terms with the earth being round, not flat.
It's a dance, not a race.
