People seem to misunderstand the concept of time - - or try tp plug it in / apply it where it shouldn't be applied. One of the main reasons why people dismiss the concept of time is that there is no "official" clock somewhere in the Lower Worlds of Duality to which "time" must adhere. In other words - - there is no actual clock somewhere that syncs time throughout the rest of the lower worlds.

Time is our perception of change. Things - - change. How fast / slow they change - - gives rise to the concept of the passing of - - time. If you wish to consider that there is no time - - and that the past / present / and future are all the same and are happening here and now - - then all the phases of the moon and the changing of the tides and the aging of the bodies and such - - is just fireworks / entertainment for the mind.

Tho time may not be "real" - - it is a nessary way to keep up with the changes of the days / weeks / months / etc. Tell your boss that since there is no time - - that you will be in to work whenever it suits you. Or - - that since we are living the past / present / future now - - then you "worked" last night while you were asleep and that you already did a "day's work."

I'm sure your boss will accept that.

In these worlds - - things - - exist. I am not talking about the Pure Worlds where there are no "things." Here - - things - - exist. And - - things - - change. Therefore - - some kind of concept that gauges those changes.

The fact that people twist these concepts around just shows how "odd" the mind can be - - and how gullible we are to accept preposterous theories as more "real" than what is obvious to our senses - - both inner and outer.

You are NOT the same as you were yesterday. You are not even the same as only a moment ago. Your blood cells have moved. You have taken another breath. You are different. Let alone - - from lifetime to lifetime.

Try to just keep it simple. In that way - - understanding of life is somewhat easier.
