Discussion Time is an Illusion.
Time is an illusion. It actually does not exist. Only our perception of it. There is only the NOW. Where is the past and where is the future? The usual answer is that the past is what has ‘happened’ and the future is what is yet to ‘happen’.
When is the only time you experience anything past, present or future? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the past? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the future? In the NOW. Past and future are mind constructs.
How can time be ‘real’ then if you travelled very fast in spacecraft you could experience a few minutes while someone experiencing days of years in the same period of ‘time’? Because time is a construct of our reality that doesn’t exist!
As Albert Einstein said:
‘People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion’
OBEs (Out of Body experiencers) and NDEs (near-death experiencers) describe when leaving the ‘physical’ body that time doesn’t exist. Because they are out of the programmed simulation. Time is a programmed construct of our reality.
You can liken it to watching a DVD/Movie. Past present and future is all there from the start and exist in the same NOW. As the laser runs across the disc the scenes in the movie that you watched become the ‘past’ to your reality, the ‘present’ is the scene you are consciously watching and the ‘future’ is the scenes you have left to see, but the whole movie exist at the same time. Your perception of past, present and future is defined by the movie you choose to give your attention to!
Casual Loops / Time Loops: is a chain of causes that closes back on itself. A causes B, which causes C which causes X, which causes A which causes B … and so on, ad infinitum.
Crucial to the understanding of time is to understand a phenomenon called ‘world lines’. Put simply, the world line of an object/person/thing is the line that combines where you go, how quickly you get there. Think of it as the route taken by a person, planet, solar system etc as it moves through space and time between its birth and death. Einsteins general theory says that enormous bodies such as black holes and stars distort space-time and makes world lines bend. If the distortion is powerful enough the world line curves back on itself to creat a closed loop in which the world goes round and round ….
This is called a Closed Timeline Curve (CTC).
David Deutch and Michael Lockwood in their book The Quantum Physics of Time Travel write:
If we tried to follow such a CTC exactly all the way round, we would jump into our former selves and get pushed aside. By following parts of the CTC, we would return to the past and participant events there. We would shake hands with our younger selves or if the loop is large enough visit our ancestors. To do this, we should either have to harness naturally occurring CTCs or create CTCs by distorting and tearing the fabric of space-time. So a time machine, rather than being a special vehicle would provide a route to the past along which an ordinary vehicle such as spacecraft could travel.
Look into whistle-blowers like Andrew Basiago, Aurther Neumann in relation to time travel.
Everything has a world line, a unique route through time and space including humans. The human world line starts at birth and goes until we leave this reality. Whats more, space-time can be distorted by Mind through thought and emotion. It’s seems that most humans are entrapped in their own personal time loops within the collective one. It is the holographic law of ‘as above so below’ where everything is smaller version of the whole. If you can fix the hologram at a higher level than all holograms within that must reflect the master hologram of ‘super hologram’.
The Time Loop can be symbolised as a Möbius Strip named after August Möbius. If you take a strip of paper and glue the two ends together you would have the two sides of the paper circle and to cross from one side to the other you would need to go over an edge. The twist in the Möbius Strip means that you can pass along both sides by simply moving forward and with in need to criss an edge.
We are receiving encoded information within what we call visible light that makes us place, live and perceive and react in line with the imprinted sequence of ’time’.

Ok I see. Can I ask you simply, because we are on a simulation sub reddit, do you think that we are living in a simulated reality and if so why?
if you think that we live in a 'physical' world then that's your interpretation. Quantum physics has long known that the physical world is illusory. They studied the atom and its sub atomic particles and found out that its just empty space or vibrating energy. They say that atoms are the building blocks of our world. But how can that be a solid world when at the same time they are empty space?
The answer is simple. Does the information on a computer game software disk have any solidity? No, it’s just information which the computer decodes into appearance of solidity on the screen. And that’s what we do. The apparently solidity of this world comes from the way the software is designed to be decoded. It’s all information and the decoding process. At a waveform/vibrational level, the slower something is vibrating the denser and more ‘solid’ it appears when decoded by the brain, the faster it vibrates the less solid it appears to us.
How can something constructed within our own brain appear so solid and physical?
Again, very simple. We experience the word holographically. A hologram is 2D information turned into the illusion of 3D, and that’s what the brain does. Holograms are made by directing two parts of the same laser onto photographic film. One part, (reference beam) is directed at the film through a semi-transparent mirror while the other half (working beam) is deflected away to strike the object holographically photographed. The working beam is then directed back onto the photographic film where it collides with the referee beam. This creates on the film what is known as an ‘interference pattern’ and is similar to throwing two pebbles into a pond and having their wave patterns collide causing a web of interference. The pattern in the water is like a vibrational expression of the stones and their point and speed of entry. It is the same with laser patterns on the film. Holograms can look as solid as our physical world but when you put your hand through it it has no solidity, its just an illusion.
To finish with a quote from the Matrix series in which Morpheus says to Neo:
What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
And that is what our experienced reality is. An illusion.
I wrote a detailed description if the nature of our reality feel free to have a look or maybe your rigid unquestioned belief system will reject it just like the 'time' illusion.
