Are we capable of existing outside time?
Imagine instead of living in an [array of time-frames], moving in one direction, i.e. time, in a single frame only, like a snapshot (even with the possibility to observe the whole [array of time-frames] at once). Would you have any words to describe it? I think all our mental models would just collapse.

- NumberCruncher 10y agoSome people say time is just an illusion we use to process reallity as an [array of time-frames]. I think what you are looking for is a kind of enlightening which in this case would mean stepping out of the illusion of time. Some people reported to achieve this with meditation and/or psychodelics.
