Thought Experiment

Next time you see a real human being. Imagine the last ten generations of grandfathers and great-grandmothers who had to be alive for you to be here. That is a real life human tree, you are still here for a reason.

Acting like it doesn’t cut it, be it, be the reason they were alive.

I had this thought a while back. That every living thing has been linked to their parent in this way. Whilst they are no longer touching, if you remove the role of time, so rather than experiencing one segment of time, as in now, and have all time exist in one instance, then it’s all interconnected and touching, like a huge tree or brain.

Well, that’s actually what “time” is:

Exactly. :)

In addition, I was talking with a good friend of mine, and said this “What is any different in life than this?” (I took my glass of *water* and moved it closer to myself); “My mind envisioned the future and my body went through the motions to make it a reality.” “Now nobody could say that the glass is where it used to be.”
