The past is a memory, a trace in our heads. The future is an illusion. What remains is the present which is in a constant flux.
Zimbardo has analysed the psychological concepts of time very nicely. My favorite aspect is that eastern concepts of an all-encompassing present are not measurable with scientific constructs.
So they seem to be real.
Maybe time is also a matter of belief.
However, it is our obligation to be here, to be now and to live here and now. We constantly fail to do so. We have fears and hopes or live in our memories. The magic is here and now. So let's shut up and do some more Zazen.
Let all philosophers sleep and dream, and carry on with the good work and practice.
LAUGHTER
