Will “time” come back in the future?

Dear Prosephine,


Thanks for your question.

Ever since I were a little boy, I have been thinking: What is time?

Time is but a human measurement of the “things”. That is the conclusion of a little boy. Though I didn't know what is the “things”, however, that will not affect the conclusion.

We will come to “notice” something. Like sunrise and sunset, like baby and old folk. How long does it take?

Can we take away the time from the things, and count it, and make a calender?

It seems simple.

You can always count the “time”.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, like that.

Now we have some professional people to do these things. May be they are lazy. They have invented some symbols when they found the counting is difficult. When you just count 1, 2, 3, 4,…. until one day, the numbers are so big, you find it confusing, and you say, that is it, and that is infinitive“∞”. And you will say, when time is so so so long, then time is going to a very very very long long future, like “∞”, when time has gone so far, and we can not imagine such a distance, then, we will ask: will time come back?

Now we have come from the human measurement to the human imagination. At first we tried to measure things with some numbers. Now we found the measures are so big, then we invented some more symbols like “∞”. Then we studied the “∞”, and decided time could come back from “∞” to 1, and to zero! (And zero is another human invention too. There arent any zero in the universe.)

What had gone wrong?

It was all because the separation. We human beings had decided to separate the “time” from the “things, and when the counting is so confused, then we tried to put back the “things” into the “time”.

Can we come back from death together with time when the time comes back? This is one of the interesting question arising from the separation.

And please take note that, I am not against resurrection. Things can change, or growth, or develop, what happens to the things are not in the external calculations, but in the things itself.

If we go back to the inner study of “time”, we will found, time can not be separated from the “things”.

A flower is blossoming, and that means, a flower is blossoming. If we try to measure it, the flower is still the flower. But you can take the “measure” away. You think, a measure is a measure, and the measure can stand away from the things. The measure could go further away from the things. From calculation, you will know now is two thousand years something, and there will be three or four or more thousand years ahead.

And this, is the separation.

All measurements are from outside.

It seems that, things are always changing. We can not help to think, is there a rate for the change? And what will come next? And some people had “hoped” that the flowers could one day go back as seeds, and old people can become young again. Though it can not be proved or denied, yet it is but our external imagination.

If time is but the external calculation of reality, then, we will be confronted with a more important question:

What is the internal development of things?

I do hope this question can bring us to a higher level of views.


with regards,

Leechard
