Time is an effect, like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

We are these mobile organisms, so our experience of reality is as a sequence of perceptions, so we think of time as the present moving past to future, but the 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.

Energy is conserved, because it is the present, not some dimensionless point. Consequently it goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past. Though it is our gut processing the energy driving us, feeding the flame, while the brain sorts the information.

We are stuck between the anarchies of desire, pushing us on, while the tyranny of judgement referees the direction.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, toward infinity, while form coalesces in, toward equilibrium.

We fluctuate between everything fading out and everything cancelling out.
