word up, straight truth bro. it all comes back to our ability to perceive our existence beyond the constraints of time....
Here is potentially a radical statement to piggy-back V's radical statement (both of which I sincerely view as logical, just not commonly accepted until the dots are connected):
WE THINK TIME MAKES UP REALITY, BUT IN REALITY WE MAKE UP TIME.
...in fact, according to 3 out of 4 of our brainwaves*, TIME DOES NOT EXIST. (*edit note: 5 brainwaves including the random "gamma" burst, always forget that one lol)
Moreover, we only experience Time in our waken/alert state, brainwaves primarily Beta... a state which is also characterized by general timidness and fear... How poetic that almost all of our "fear" at some juncture can relate to "time" itself, none more prominent than our own countdown clock to death.
In dreams THERE IS NO TIME.... and to your exact point Masa, no worry for the future....
Dreams are just as real as any other experience, but many disregard it, because "in time" we're trained to give more credence to the world "of time"..
That same state of timelessness can be reached while "awake" - we jump across the levels, but the faster pulsing waves trump our experience a lot of the "time"...
It can be reached in deep meditative states -- or even seen in moments of someone just being "in the zone"... even when an athlete starts performing at seemingly superhuman levels, what do they often say? "it was like the game SLOWED DOWN for me"... they are still 'bound' by time in that example, but are not letting it serve as a parameter for decisions --- because it shouldnt be... they just "perform"...
In Summary:
1. We do not perceive Time in 3 out of 4 of our brain wave frequencies
2. The one state we do experience time in is in our waken/fearful state.
3. Close your eyes and slow your mind; slow your mind and see past the veil of time.
4. See past the veil of time, and see the super-reality Veritas mentioned....
It is always available, and always has been... The longer we operate in time, the harder it is to escape it --- until, for many, we approach the point of no return and face our own demise....
When we face the moment of our death... as V also says often, "remember the future"... it brings us to the decision point which helps us look past it... There are many fears and internal demons faced along each individuals way -- so that phrase helps them jump to the 'point in the future' they need to deal with (and empower them to do so) before they get to the ultimate question, but if one remembers the future in entirety, you will remember where the two points on the line of existence meet in the circle of life, and that time was just one of the demons which fueled our ego and desire for self-perseverance.
Remove the veil of time and see the super-reality which is right before (and after) our eyes. ;)
