The reality of time is that energy goes past to future, while form goes future to past.

Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

Consciousness goes past to future, while perceptions, thoughts, emotions go future to past.

We are mobile organisms, with a sequential process of perception, so we use our experiences to guide our decisions and as everything that has a beginning, also has an end, like a wave passing through, that seems the direction of everything. Yet the energy driving the wave just goes onto other waves.

Products go start to finish, while the production line goes the other way, consuming material and expelling product.

Galaxies are energy radiating to infinity, while the forms being manifest coalesce toward equilibrium, both entropic.

We are stuck somewhere between everything fading out and everything cancelling out.

It just keeps bubbling along.
