Time And Consciousness

-

 From the empirical perspective, time is dependent on change and consciousness, so it does not have its own existence. Change is a result of interaction created due to various permutations and combinations of five senses (eyes, nose, tongue, ears and skin), object of senses (Colors, forms, shapes, smell, taste, sound, touch, texture and sensations), memory, thoughts, imaginations, feelings, words and the meaning of words. In deep sleep all this "interactions and change" temporary cease to exist... In the state of deep sleep we lose track of time... the knowledge of a change in time occurs only when a change from sleeping state to waking state takes place. So the illusion of time is created only due to change. All the change exists relative to unchanging and infinite Consciousness.

From an absolute perspective, in reality, time is infinite, so it does not change. It only appears to change due to an illusion created due to interaction between five senses and the object of senses as mentioned above. As time and space are not separate from consciousness, so consciousness is also unchanging and infinite from an absolute perspective. We are not separate from space and time, we are Consciousness, so the space and time are infinite Consciousness.

Three levels of Realities

-
  Philosophy:- 1) Advaita Vedanta (Non-Dual) School of Hinduism 2) Yogachara School of Mahayana Buddhism 3) Madhyamaka School of Mahayana Buddhisim [A] Three levels of reality from a Vedantist (Hinduism Philosophy) point of view: 1) Paramarthika (Paramartha, Absolute):- Perspective of absolute space. The reality that is metaphysically true and ontologically accurate. It is the state of experiencing that which is absolutely real and into which both other reality levels can be resolved. This reality is the highest, it can't be subsumed (assimilated) by any other. 2) Vyavaharika (Vyavahara) or Samvriti-Saya: Perspective of the combination of five senses(human body). Consisting of the empirical or pragmatical reality. It is ever changing over time, thus it is empirically true at a given time and context but not metaphysically true. It is "our world of experience, the phenomenal world that we handle every day when we are awake". It is the level in which both living cre...

Conversation between Theist and atheist

  A Conversation Between an Atheist and A Theist on the Evidence For Gods Existence: Theist: God exists. Atheist: Prove to me that a god exists. There is no sufficient empirical evidence for the existence of a god, so there is no necessary reason to believe in the existence of a god. Theist: What makes you think that collectively verifiable evidence for a God exists? You cannot provide collectively verifiable evidence that your thoughts are your own and not that of another subject, so not all truths are collectively verifiable; some are only verifiable to oneself. So how do you know that God is a collectively verifiable entity rather than an entity that is objectively verifiable only to oneself through direct personal experience? Atheist: To be honest, I was unaware of the distinction between collectively verifiable evidence and subjectively verifiable evidence. Theist: So why do you keep demanding collectively verifiable evidence when not all truths have collectively verifiable ev...
