Time is a double illusion
Aware True Dharma Pure Heart
A new view of time as a double illusion.
Time is an illusion – because consciousness has no form, so there is no one there to have a feeling of time. Time is just a production of consciousness and space moving.
Time is an illusion – Everything appears like a six-sense movie but keeps changing so actually nothing remain there. If it remained there no change, no time. Time only exist through that illusion.
Time is an illusion because even though time only exists in the present, how can we find it? The moment you try to find it is a new present. The moment you try to be aware of it, a newer-new present. In fact the moment you try to be aware of anything a new present keeps coming.
So any time there is changing, there is a new present. Present only exists through changing.
For example, to lift my arm to pick something up every point in that whole movement there is a new present. The changing itself makes you aware of the present, if everything was frozen there is no time, no present, you can’t feel time. When the movie stops, no time anymore.
Because everything is constantly changing you can feel time. So another way to think of the whole universe is that it only exists in that changing present. So little!
So when you change something you experience a different present. But whatever you change still one thing not change, only make you experience the present moment. You can only have the present. So from that view, everything constantly changes but the present never changes.
That is a new view of time as a double illusion.
Connect above idea to Amitabha Buddha system
We live in a whole universe existing as that present.
And we are actually trapped in there. Each present is a causation connected to many other causations and keeps flow like a river and keeps rolling and you know that rolling came form many causes making it roll. And that rolling now creates rolling in the future, continually without break.
The Apple Seed
So say you have an apple seed – is it a cause or a result? Both.
From the past tree create an apple cause to create the seed. And from the future this seed might grow into another tree.
So present is also like that – we are stuck in blindness from the past. We are the result of all those blind causes but we continue as that blind cause into the future.
So Buddhism is trying to teach freedom – understand you are a result of blind causes, so in the present changing blindness… woooom… change become free.
What is blindness?
Blindness is when you don’t know you are a blind result – you will have so much ego, craziness, possessive, towards the changing present illusion.
But NO ONE can win this. You can win as much as you want, and right up to the point you lose everything. And realise I never win anything and I am here just to experience that I believe I win something, experience something I think I win, I own, but truly nothing can be held, it is an illusion.
Since space changing is an illusion, time is an illusion as well, one day you will wake up from that time and realise it is illusion and that is the first awakening – to realise time is illusion from the illusion of space – your heart will create freedom, you will have a forever new, Dharma I that appears.
You will not have a blind act / react searching, cause/effect non stop in the present trapped I, you will not have such an I anymore, realise all of that is blind, illusion I. So you remain observing freedom and become Dharma Freedom Pure I.
When a few Dharma Freedom Pure I appears then you can say:
“Ok, I don’t want these blind causes to create my life anymore, each changing present into nonsense, and then possessive for nothing!”
Instead, recreate your present in a wise way – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Then you stop being influenced by everything around you.
Once that happens you start to become a will. Your will influence everything changing around you. You start from Pure Dharma I, start to create causation waves – Four Eternal Heart waves, create natural wise-being, so that everything you do you want to have wisdom behind to calculate from every angle, not just blind with personal.
When you do something, be aware there is an intention of a kind heart behind to help yourself and everyone, that is the compassionate heart.
Wise compassion heart as a natural being, become your centre, become centre for others as a Pure Land to develop, help them to develop their own will as their centre, and so on. Like apple seeds become an apple tree, create many apples, and many more seeds.
The present is still there which will become an incredible unlimited Dharma present to help them to create their own Pure Land.
Consciousness always free can create a forbearing unlimited suffering world, as well, one heart two gates.
When your heart can understand time is an illusion and space is an illusion then you are back to the essence back to your pure, I pure Dharma and from there Pure I has unlimited potential to create for what is the best for life and what it should be for yourself and everyone.
