Unless I missed it, the idea of dualistic vs. non-dualistic time was not mentioned.
But then there is no ‘either-or’ of dualism vs. non-dualism.
What there really is a both/and existence where both the One and the many manifest without contradiction.
And thus time can manifest as changing or timeless.
In meditation, if you feel time passing in the silence and you then begin to focus exclusively and relentlessly on the moment of ‘now’, you will eventually identify with it and the sensation of time passing will vanish; as if a moving line has re-manifested as concentric circles.
Only our small recently evolved brains are required to largely exist within dualistic visions of a both/and existence because of our newborn limitations.
The September 2002 issue of Scientific American was given over to the issue of time. Multiple scientists weighed in and they were roughly split between those who thought time existed and those who thought that it did not exist. It seems telling that many fundamental equations can be formulated without a time variable and yet still be functional.
