welcome to transmissions when we take a look at our experience what do you
really see we see a series of events series of happenings it looks like as if
the events are coming from future and they are going into the past what you
see is only impermanence we do not see anything at all which lasts even for a
while there are some things which seem to be permanent but when we observe
carefully they are only very slowly changing some things they change very
very fast and some things are so fast that we do not even perceive them the
events themselves they are not very clearly distinguished from each other
there is a continuous flow of the events it's continuous change this is what we
call as the flow of time time is something in which the events happen it
is a dimension which I exists which is real and everything happens in this
dimension of the time this is the
commonly held belief and nobody really questions it so let us do that because
it is our job to question everything on path of knowledge we do not do anything
else how do you know that there is a past how do you know that there in the
future from where the events are coming and the past to where the events are
going and answer is simple we know the past because I remember what happened
yesterday or last year or ten years ago and we also have the history books and
very big authorities to tell us that something happened in mist impasse when
you were not even born and there are buildings and ruins that are the
evidence of things that happened in past this is how we know that there is a past
how do we know that there is a future
that is slightly tricky isn't it we know
it because we can estimate it we can predict that such an achievement will
happen and it usually happens we can say that the Sun will come up tomorrow and
it does that is that is how we know that there is a future from where the Sun
appeared so for a common man the ideas
of future and past are a reality when we
try to find an evidence of the past we
need to rely on our memory if we cannot
recall we won't be able to say it with certainty that they have all the past
similarly for future we need to rely on our predictive ability which is again
dependent on the memory because we can extrapolate only that which is already
in our memory we know that an event will
happen tomorrow because the is a memory of it happening every day so
it is our memory that tells us about the past and the future what about the
present well we don't do not really deal any evidence or the present because present is here and now in front of us
it looks like that it's not really dependent on the memory because I can see the things happening in front of me
so it looks like that to be found an experience and evidence for existence of
future present and past they are flowing their dynamic when we try to experience
the past we experience our memory we rely on our memory when we try to
experience the future we again rely on our memory and our predictive ability
when we try to see the present we do not really meet the memory
it seems that time has some kind of deep connection to memory
in fact when somebody asks me what happened yesterday that is when I want to access the past I
access my memories when somebody asks me what is going to happen in future I
access my memories and extrapolate them into the future so it seems there is a
direct relation of time and memory so we know the past as a memory we know the
future as a memory all we can experience is the memory
we do not really experience the past we do not obviously experience the future
we experience only the present and the past and future are derived out of our
memory and when do we experience the memory we experience it in present
obviously there is no other time where the memories can be experienced even it
amazing meant something which is considered so fundamental a dimension of
reality there is no experience of it the
only experience with there is these of the present in terms of time when I ask
what is really flowing from future to past then probably the answer is wait
the events are flowing if you want a really logical and rational answer then
it is not really satisfactory to answer
it like this because what is an event it is merely a change humans cannot flow
events are just excerpts change happens and that is what we call as a flow of
events in fact there is no such thing as an event there is no boundary between
one change and another change it is continuous change there are no events so
what is really happening is change that is what we call as a flow of event so it
is the change that is happening it becomes really indirect to say that time
is flowing and the events are static things in time they come one after the other in chunks
they're coming obviously from the future where there is potential for the human to be there they appear in present and
they go and get lost somewhere in the past it seems like a magical story look
at it does it make any sense because all I see is a continuous series
of changes now all I see is my memory of
it I do not see a dimension which has
three directions future breath in the
past the memory is recalled in present
the anticipation or prediction or estimation is done in present the future
appears as imagination in present it is also a change we call of the memory is
also a change is also an event all these
things all these experiences are happening in present since they are
changing we call it a flow probably the
correct word is impermanence because flow demands something to flow but we do
not see anything that is flowing it is not late except so impermanence is a
better word to describe our experiences what are we really experiencing we are
experiencing a memory when we say we have an experience of the time there is
all berries we have never experienced time we have never explained is past we
have never experienced future the experience of the present is
happening now the experience of the past in terms of memories is it happening now
and experience of the future is nothing wait a play in the memory that is also
happening now have we ever experienced anything except this now then why do we say that there
is a future and why do we say that there is past if you pay attention these are
concepts in our mind which means that the future and past tense ups that our
mind created what are we really experiencing in present is memory and
the processes in the memory the activity of the memory memorizing recalling
imagining this is mind what we are
experiencing is mind the events they are
perceptions right now you are perceiving me that means the senses are giving us
an experience of perception and experience of something changing that is
again mind because without mine there cannot be perception the mind is
creating them from where the changes the pulses or signals will be that are being
received from senses it is also happening now so right the experience
that I am having now right now he's totally of the mind the past is mine
this feature is mind present the changing perceptions is also mind all we
experience is the mind therefore we say in it all that exists is a mind what
kind of mind perpetually changing mind happening in present in the past is
derived out of memory the future is derived out of imaginations out of our
past experience the future is computed
we have never really experienced time this existence is timeless
but some people are going to say no science has proven the best time look there is a clock here
the clock is telling me in the time the
seasons happen the Sun happens moon happens it happens very very accurately
that means time is flowing when you take
a look at the clock all you see is change that is happening in present then
your conditioning fails but look this is time when you see the seasons and you
see the Sun and Moon and rotations of different kinds that are very very regular you might tell sue that look
this is time this is how it happened in the past and this is how it's going to happen in the future what is happening
is a very regular change the regular change can be used to measure how many
events have passed how many things have happened what is the speed of the change
so we use one change to measure the other change we use a regular change to
compare the somewhat irregular changes that is what you call measurement of
time measurement of time is nothing but a measurement of change in terms of very
regular changes how do we know that things are changing regularly again
memory we saw it we saw them change very very regularly if you can read the
memory like a roll of paper you will find it the changes are mostly random
but there are some changes there are some events that happen impulses very
regular waves happen the mind has this
extraordinary ability to detect regular change but it does not detect it so
accurately but it knows this something is happening very regularly
so we have the instruments that are more rural bound and a register of irregular change much better than the mind that is
what you call as time measurement devices or clocks what are the registering is a regular change if
suddenly all the clocks in the world they started changing in regularly you
will lose track of the time is not going to make any sense then so we have a
definition here actually very good definition vector time is a measurement of change regular change can be used to
measure the passing events the impermanence just like a fixed length of
Texas stick can be used to measure any distance so we can use fixed length of
change to measure other changes this is the measurement of time I've seen many
definitions of the time and they are all circular even the so-called expert
definition from big authorities it's all circular they are trying to define the
time in terms of time or in terms of motion or in terms of the duration past
or present feelings and so on we never feel the time we feel only the present
that is over that experience and everything else is derived out of this
experience and they are all concepts there is nothing solid in our experience
that looks like flow of time there is no past there is no future this is how we
experience existence the existence is pure presence it is it was not and it
will not be it is miksa it was and will
creation of the mind this is your experience right now right here it is
not an armchair philosophy it is not science all it is not some kind of
really just lying belief it is our experience right now right here this is what you are experiencing then it is
just our conditioning that we believe all these things about time and events changes changes do not happen in time
the change is more fundamental than time time is now derived out of change that
happened and there you can actually find a big hole in this argument that there
is no time you can say but look there is change and you have defined time in terms of change and change is nothing
but time so it is also a circular definition isn't it think about it
change is not defined in terms of time that is not so accurate way to define
the change change is defined in terms of memory if there were no memory I wouldn't be able to see any change
because change is a comparison that happens in the mind it is not that there
is change that is happening it is an experience that's present and there is a
memory of it which is also present the experience gets done paired with the
memory with the contents of the mind and if something similar is found in the
mind we say that change has happened that gives us an illusion of change that
gives us an illusion of the experience being dynamic change is not happening in
time time is not dried out of change time has no existence it is a concert
change is our experience and that is based on memories in other words it is
mind only change is mind oddly it is
really unbelievable isn't it and many of you won't believe me it may look like a
play of words and actually I do not have that kind of sophisticated vocabulary
philosophical vocabulary to express all these things I see and I say that's all
I do very simple I just use a very nice
trick I kick out all of my conditioning before I see and I don't let my
conditioning to affect when I say that's all I've learnt that's the this little
trick enables me to see the things as they are instead of seeing through
seeing them through the colored glasses of our conditioning which is stuffed in
our minds in our memories by society but ignorant people when the deluded people
that are around us everywhere so I
request you to do the same and see if you see the same thing that I see and to
help in this scene I'll show you a little experiment which anybody can do
it does not take a thousand million dollar of lab to do this kind of
experiment sometimes I call it gradual destruction of memories but don't worry
you don't need to really destroy your memories or cut down your brain or my you know manipulate your mind or take
some drugs or do anything disgusting like that just imagine your mind will
see it it goes like this you imagine
that you do not remember anything which is more than 10 years old you know
only last 10 years that's all you know because we do not experience any
memories beyond 10 years we cannot say anything about the experience that happened we can say that most I don't
remember now cut down the memories to
one year only imagine that you do not remember anything beyond one year from
now did anything really happen in your life where you born did you go to school
did you marry or things like that important events it they really happen
you can still say I don't remember it but probably things happen other
people's remember it but yes you
remember everything in the last one year and you are very confident that these things happened the past is still here
cut it down to last one day only you do not remember what happened beyond
yesterday how was your life what really happened because you have only yesterday
to recall it will become very very difficult for you to even believe that
you exist them you existed beyond yesterday now you won't be able to
believe even other people because you do not have any references to things the
concepts then that they are saying somebody is telling you that you were born and you do not have any idea of
what it means to be born you've never seen a birth because only when day is
memory is there people tell you that your name is this and that you live here
but you do not know really you are fully conscious you are fully intelligent you
are the same person that you were but now you're experiencing almost
timelessness that exists only for one day
and you keep forgetting whatever happens there are 24 hours your memory has this
little side effect now cut it down to last one hour and now you don't even
know the languages now you don't know how to talk how to eat nothing you're
like a baby infant just experiencing things there is no past almost no past
because in one hour the changes do not make enough impressions on the memory
anything but you will have a vague idea that something is happening there is like there is sound but you will not
know what these things are cut down the memory to last one minute only and you
won't be able to make any sense of objects you won't be able to make any sense of sounds perceptions pains
pleasures you will forget the body because you see the body in this bond then one minute you will not know who
you are what you are memory how crucial
it is for your existence now cut it down to last one second and you will just be
reduced to fuss of experiences there is nothing there really nothing really
changes enough in one second
you will sink there like a rock the mind
cannot even start moving your hands and feet because it does not know how to
move the body cut it down to a millisecond let us say this extreme you
won't be able to imagine it I'm pretty sure but when you go into the depths of
it when you use your rational logical abilities to find out what can happen if
my memory is only of one millisecond and I highly recommend that you do that you
will find perception vanishes there won't marry perception because
perception depends on our short-term memory what is now being perceived is
being compared with your immediate memory my last word needs to go into the
memory for this next word to make any sense so to say you are watching a movie
your the movie is going at 24 frames per second the last frame needs to be
committed to memory in order for the current frame to be meaningful otherwise it will be a random
change on the screen so we see that the
present is also memory if you say the present is when 2 milliseconds in
duration it is nothing but past it is also memory cut down the memory to 0 and
all of your experience will simply disappear this is the thought experiment
but it will make you think it is not
totally imaginary because you can clearly see that without memory there is
no experience the activity of the memory is nothing but mind
changing memory the perceptions the recalls the past the future the emotions that we experience even the present that
we think is a short duration of time which is happening now because we cannot really imagine and now we cannot really
imagine timelessness because in certain sense we cannot experience the
timelessness we know there is timelessness because everything else is just memory everything else is just
concepts that are derived out of memory and conditioning wheel ideas we know
there is timelessness but we won't be able to experience it all we experience
is the mind the activity of the memories there is all the - mind is the process
in memories without memories there cannot be any process in the mind what
if we really go into process there is nothing in the memory that's why I see
all the experience is the mind all the experience is the experience of the mind
this is your direct knowledge just now you found it out of course you will have
many many doubts but I say just keep doing experiments keep trying to find a reality that is independent of memories
and minds and you can SEPs names and forms perceptions all subjective stuff
isn't it there is your objective reality where is
the dimension of time very sparse and present when there is no mind there is
nothing like this so we say that all the experiences being created by the mind is
all an illusion created by the mind nothing is really happening there is no
past there is no present also it's not really possible to experience the
present also without memory or without the mind and of course there is no future
it is all an illusion it is all Maya it is all mine created don't you see with
using this short direct experience like
the senses timelessness yes but it cannot be experienced that which we
experience is not real that which cannot be experienced if the reality is the
truth what is really real then what
really exists even the fascinating
question the answer is very simple there
has to be something which is registering the memories there has to be something which is registering the change there
has to be something which experiences
even if it is an illusion there has to be something which is experiencing the
illusion what is it no it cannot be experienced as an experience because
then it will become false and you will left it a question then who is experiencing the experiencer so that
which cannot be experienced is the reality that which is experiencing is
the reality that is the only truth that is the only thing that is not changing
because it's a change then what experience that change if it changed it
must go into the memory then it becomes a memory then it becomes a mental process what is it it is not a mental
process what is it there is about the mind that's beyond the mind that is behind all experiences
then I might read it that is the only reality and it is known
by many names as you know but probably you never encountered it probably never
met it because it is you you are the one
who is the experiencer you are not an experienced the body is they come and go
we are in memory just like you saw the
mental activities they come and go all the people they come and go anything that can be experienced is
impermanence it comes and it goes don't worry about where from where it
comes where it goes there is no such thing there is no there in existence there is
only here because only now there is no
when these questions leave concepts they do not apply to existence I am that
existence the one that is existing while everything comes and goes I still not as
this body in order to this mind not as any other metaphysical structure they
all are impermanent now they are all change they are all being registered by
some kind of memory and they're all illusory that which experiences all
these illusions is you know that because
I remain while everything changes and
you can call it the existence like the sense remains things in existence change
the existence is actually nothing it is empty because cannot be seen it's just
like any space cannot be seen it is just like light light also cannot be seen
when the Bengal light reflects and is registered by the mind
senses memory when we say oh it exists it is there similarly it is not possible
to know that which is unless it it reflects in the form of a change unless
it appears in the form of an appearance that which is is down Levin that is
appeal so I am that which is and and
when that is appearing to myself not only an experience cell I am also the
experience without the memory without the mind this reflection of myself will
not be there and I won't be able to know my own existence now you know the reason
for existence to be there and the reason for it being illusory passing creation
of the mind there is no wonder that when
we started looking for the most fundamental things in our experience such as time we do not find anything
else except myself there is no wonder
that all the equations of the physics there are time symmetric they do not
show an entity called time they do not show a dimension called time
then electron going forward in time is only positron going backward in time
is there an electron is then is there a positron next defined by the time no the
same thing appearing in different formats then you swim simply reverse the
equations of vivix vivix the physical
things are not happening in time no
experiments can prove the existence of the time all they give rise to paradoxes
because they arise out of your false belief in the reality of the time and
leave you as a homework to study all the time paradoxes you will find it the
point to the truth that there is no time it has implications it means that I am
eternal I am timeless being I am NOT an experience that comes and goes but also
means that my idea is about myself we are totally wrong because I always considered myself as that we can be
experienced with everybody's experiencing and that how do people know that I exist I need somebody to tell me
that I exist you think that illogical
you tell people you exist and they tell you that you exist what are they telling each other that illusions exist there is
only one thing that exists and it is the only thing it is the existence itself one and only nobody else exists
everything exists in the existence on
the screen of this conscious knowing aware existence
does that mean that I am a model the word immortality applies only to a
structure the structure can be seen in past through the present can be
predicted to exist in the future we can say that it is a model but I am NOT a
model I am eternal i am timeless there
is no guarantee that the immortality you will stay but it is guaranteed that I am
NOT an eternity is going to stay because the Eternity is all there is it is not
defined by time eternity is not a very big chunk of time it's not in finite
time these are all wrong notions be very logical irrational then sense
eternity is timelessness which is your current direct experience
I am already eternal I am the only when I am appearing in various forms
including this form right now right here that you are perceiving including that
form there including that form here from a blade of grass to the huge galaxies
they are all my forms and they are edible they keep changing in forms does
not really concern me I know I have not changed change is an illusion again
there is no change nothing is changing and therefore nothing is happening
because something needs to change in order to call it happening in order to call it an event since there is nothing
that is changing we feel that nothing is really happening and there is nothing
really that exists except a penis the shoe Netta that is self-effulgent
but lights itself it appears as many
things it is not really many things it is an illusion it is an appearance only nothing is
really appearing as many things that sauce the question how can one thing
appear as many thing what is the process which divides the one into many look at
your own experience if it many even this
division done by the mind no mind no many the ugly there is only this eternal
presence - parents and I'm that
thank you very much for listening [Music]
you
