A deep thought

I didn't know where to put this, hence LEISURE.

Think about this-- My screen was blank before I typed this; however I had already thought what I was going to type. A future event, as envisaged in my thought passes quickly through the present then instantly becomes the past.
Our grasp of what we understand as time is limited and moves forward only, or does it ? Consider this-- What if we could step outside of time?
What if the order became, future, present and past, doesn’t seem difficult as I have already described that order above, or present and present. Any of these last scenarios points at time being flexible, unstable even.
If the future comes first, the course of events in our lives must have been pre arranged. Already happened & therefore unchangeable/.
Present, future & past become one thing, pre existing & co existing.
Finally could it be that events we now think of as past are confirmation of events which have already occurred.

I think it's too deep for me... A day with a 3yr old has scrambled my brain!

For sure events which are past are events which are past.

Re: A deep thought

Yes but past events were in the future once, weren't they?

Re: A deep thought

Whilst you are planning what to do in the future the here and now becomes the past.

Doesent time fly so quickly.
