  Applied Buddhism: the Present as Precedent… 

  

  Let go of the past. Embrace the future. Accept the present as the only thing we can truly know from direct experience. And this I know from experience, having been at the losing end of many debates on the subject, I once a proponent of the losing idea that time, like space, has three dimensions: past, present, and future. But now I can see clearly that those are really only one, or maybe three-in-one, if you prefer, the only remaining question being whether space is truly three dimensions, or whether it, too, is really only one, or maybe two, if we see the world as composed of drops rather than crystals, circles rather than cubes.

  So, how can you embrace the future, then, if it’s really only a simulated version of the present? I think of it as Emptiness, or shunyata, which is literally the zero in intermittent mathematical placement notation or potentially the final zero(s) which are capable of multiplication to infinity, and which are arguably a necessity for human existence, that clear blue sky which not only implies oxygen, but life, as much or more than the green of its fruit or the red of its roots, that ultraviolet of infinity as important and ubiquitous as the infrared of black-hole gravity. That’s the past; lose it.

  So, we see everything through the eyes of the here, and the now, which color everything in tones which they are comfortable with, and knowledgeable of, in some vast neural simulation which only vaguely resembles the particle/waves of consciousness and biology which lie at the root of all existence. This is not illusion, though, so much as it is a neural twin of ultimate reality, like VR’s digital twins, so that we can live, and move, and have our being with a minimum of obstacles to movement and awareness, and so happiness, which is all we are really capable of, even on the best of days.

  Unseen forces rule the world. 

  They’re called bacteria and they’re out to get you. They’re easy; they just want to eat, sleep, and reproduce. Sounds like ‘the hood’. Viruses are the tricky guys, DNA in a condom, ready for action. Where did DNA come from? Are humans reproduced with the help of viruses? Are humans reproduced for the benefit of viruses? Is it a fundamental dimension like space or time, light or gravity? We get a false sense of security in the developed world that all is clean and pristine, sterile and anesthetic. On the contrary, the world is nothing if not esthetic. Esse est percipi. All we know are our perceptions, not the things themselves. This does not mean that there are no things themselves, which can lead to some misunderstandings about the nature of human existence, hence conspiracy, holographic paradigms, and general discontent with affluence. Would there be a world of light, color, and sound without someone or something there to perceive it? The world defines itself in its own image and likeness. What else lies there waiting to be perceived for lack of a charged coupling device capable of processing the info? The stringier the theory, the more dimensions that are required for it to make sense.

  Time gets a raw deal, only one dimension instead of three, 

  and it had to lobby long and hard for that. Space gets to rest its big fat butt in three dimensions, length width and depth like a big reclining chair that can also be a sofa and can also be a bed like three dimensions of fucking off all day at the furniture barn. Space just licks its greasy-fried-chicken fingers and laughs at skinny little uni-dimensional time like an arrow always at odds with space, begging for crumbs on the floor. If anybody deserves three dimensions, it’s time, pregnant with past present and future. Try to get all that on a little line with an arrowhead on one end and a feather on the other. Space is just a simple container, a milk carton, a beer bottle, an oil tanker, a city, a continent, a planet, a solar system. Fill it with your favorite ingredients and shake well before using. Wha’d’ya’ got? Volume, stuff. Sounds like one dimension to me. More than one container? It’s still just stuff loosely connected to more stuff, Beaver in the breakfast nook, battles with battles, star wars, people gazing at planets, journeys between cities, points on planes, shaken not stirred. Space is mostly empty. Time is never empty. Space is just a point in time. Whether big or small, time just bends around it. Time covers all, everything that’s ever happened and everything that ever didn’t. Time is pure mathematics, the geometry of the past and the algebra of the future. Space can’t compete; still we maintain our sentimental attachment to it. It may not be the perfect dimension, but it’s our dimension.

    Have you read the author Peter Carols theory(s) on ‘shadow time’, in relation to the science of (chaos)magick(s)? You might get a kick out of it. We have used these principles to perform retroactive magicks successfully.
    He introduced these ideas and equations in his ‘Liber Kaos’, Weiser ’92.(and expanded in later works)If your interested.
