I subscribe to the concept of time as an illusion.
It was summed up quite well in a (fictional) book I
was reading the other day, in that God (or rather the
gods of the book) saw time as one moment, incompassing
all possibilites past and future, but the fate of the
world depended on the mortal perception of time as a
progression, a window which gives meaning and
definition to the endless possibilities.
I realize that this has almost no applicability to
scientific reasoning, based as it is on cause and
effect. I feel that non-physical effects such as ESP
and certain energetic healing disciplines can
transcend this temporal barrier, but our physical
reality is forced into a linear timeline by the
demands of consciousness.
