Time III

Time, in my mind, is not linear. Think about it like this, think of your favorite book, and then imagine that you are one of the characters in that book. Now if you have read it, think of C.S. Lewis's, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. While on one of the islands the encounter, lucy reads a story, but finds that she is unable to turn back to the beginning, or for that matter, back at all. Imagine that you are a character in a book like that. The book is time. You are the character. Time is all there, all at one, you can pick it up, look at it from any angle you wish, but you can't go forward ahead of what you've read already, what you've already encountered. You also can't go back, and erase past mistakes, or re-experience what happened in the past. We move through time, passing from moment to moment experiencing each thing as it happens. Although time is all there all at once, we have no control over its passage, and it is that which drives us mad.
