If there is no "time"

We are all caught in the bubble of time... the total belief in time... we cannot help it... it is par for the course when we descend from spirit into flesh in this world...

Talking about an existence without time, it is like trying to talk about a four dimensional world... we can't help but reference out 3-d existence... in trying to discuss a fourth one...

As for changing the past... we do it all the time... when we grow and change... forgive and accept... we change the past... because it no longer is what is was... the future is more difficult to discuss, because it's hidden from us in the present...

I personally can't imagine how it works when there is no time... and I can't wait to remember... lol

I honestly believe that people who say its not set in stone do it to ease their minds and make them feel in control. But its not like we read a book and know whats going to happen. Believing that everything that happens happens for a reasons shouldn't stop someone from purposing what they want with all their might!
Anyway, its just seems that because time doesn't exist and everything just "is" there cannot be a way to change what will happen.

I love this idea

Thanks to those who took this seriously.
And I forgot why I brought this topic up lol
OH yeah,
no time = "future" set in stone. Because it already exists.

Are you aware that there are experiments on a quantum physics level which show that observing something one way, and then in another way, creates the appropriate history, proving that the past is not set in stone?
You may say "this is happening on a quantum level", but quantum theory has no limitations as to the size of an object and its probably the only theory whose predictions have never been wrong. Furthermore there are experiments which have taken quantum effects way beyond the sub-atomic scale.

There is no need to bother about the past.
As you become aware, the first thing to disappear from your mind is the past, and the past is one third of the mind. It is the very base of the mind, the foundation. Once it disappears, then the whole building starts collapsing.

The 2nd to go is tomorrow.
When there is no yesterday, you cannot conceive of the tomorrow. The tomorrow is nothing but a projection of yesterday. You would like to live the joys of yesterday again tomorrow and you would like to avoid the miseries of yesterday. That’s what your tomorrow is. If yesterday is gone, tomorrow is finished; soon it will disappear.

And when yesterdays are gone and tomorrows are gone, where is today?
It exists between the two. If both the banks have disappeared, the river itself will disappear.
If both the banks have disappeared, the bridge will disappear. Chunk by chunk in three pieces, time dissolves: First the past, then the future, and finally the present. Then you are left with no time, a state of timelessness. And this, Buddha calls nirvana.

To experience timelessness is to experience deathlessness.
To experience timelessness is to experience that which really is. It is neither past nor present nor future; it simply is. It cannot be confined into any compartment, into any category; it cannot be categorized. You simply experience each moment with tremendous peace and silence and joy. osho

No time doesn't mean your future is set in stone. past, present, and future are TIMELINES. If time does not exist, that means the past, present, and future do not exist. All that exists is NOW. Everything is happening right at this moment, and at the same time, nothing at all is happening.

It's not set in stone as your mind creates the reality you live in. Change your mind, change your world.

Conscious expression creates time. While experiencing this consciousness then time is not an illusion. It has been proven though that time shifts with particular forms of travel and outer-space.

how does this help people to feel in control?

Who said this anyway? What source does your information come through?

If you want to adopt that thought as your truth then it will be that way. Personally, while I'm in this earth robe, I'm flowing with what is required here.

Yes this is true Nightspirit but it all depends on what level we are discussing time, yes on the mind body level there is a thing called time, but on the what IS level there is no time, where is the past, where is the future, its all in your mind no where else.

Okay...so in 'time' the sun sets and the moon rises. The only levels there are are what we create as being a level...I'll give you that lol. There is no past (its gone) and the future hasn't happened...so that leaves only the now which changes to the past as I type. Yikes! my words on the page are disappearing into the past..hehe

My mind is conceptual and will accept my world as being real. There's no denying it. Time is happening while my feet are planted on this dirt and when I meet you on the moon Slice, I'll tell you a different story.
