We are linear organisms in a cyclical reality and we have to come to terms with that.

Time is not the point of the present, moving past to future, but change turning 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. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present, not some dimensionless point between past and future.

It creates time, as well as temperature, pressure, color sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

So energy, as process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. With a wave, the energy drives it, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

We have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy driving us on, while the central nervous system sorts and orders the patterns precipitating out.

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

So if we want to know where the future is going, we need to understand the energy, not just the patterns it projects.
