How does time and space come into being?

A developed mind is the exclusive structure of human beings.

As mentioned earlier, animals, plants, and even the most primitive human beings, the concept of time-space has not been so strengthened, but is closest to integration.

In other words, these lives exist at any time, or "in". But there is no concept of "being" or "being". At the same time, there is no isolated concept of "you" and "I". Live in the present at any time, but you don't even have the idea of the present.

For these most primitive lives, the present is the continuation of survival. As for through what to continue, he can not observe, nor can he understand.

Take the tiger in front of it, its whole life, "in" is only supporting survival at most. And survival is nothing more than having enough to eat and maintain the body. Have enough to eat, that is, rest and excretion. When you are tired, you will sleep naturally. It is only the needs of the body that determine his behavior.

However, even when we talk about this, we are still analyzing it from the perspective of human beings. Tigers don't need to think that much, or even think so much.

Even, in the face of danger, death, that is, that moment, do some reaction. Next, let's go, it's all right.

The most primitive people, is also like this, simply for the sake of existence, there is no reason to exist, or other concerns. Death is, at best, a fact that "does not exist".

Life is simple and simple.

Then comes the continuation of the mind, which leads to a series of problems.

After the development of human beings, the simple continuation of survival is naturally made into a combination of fragments through thoughts and memories, and it becomes the story of life, and everyone is different. However, he did not find that only every moment is real, and all the connections between the moment and the moment are imaginary. It can be said that modern people live in a fictional reality.

What people and animals have in common is that both humans have the concept of space and distance. However, only the later more developed human brain can make a difference in time.

Ordinary animals can only locate in space, while humans have added an axis that can be expressed more accurately in chronological order. No matter space or time, through the comparison between points and following the logic of binary opposition, a certain point can be highlighted from all the points.

In addition, through observation, we think that you and I have a common experience. For example, we can see chairs, tables and people in front of us, which naturally makes us think that there is an objective reality, and that this objective reality has nothing to do with the role of the mind, but can exist on our own.

Not only do people have a common experience, but people and other lives also have a common range of perception. For example, we see the existence of wild animals, and wild animals also see that we exist, and even come to eat us. The process of human survival in evolution will naturally strengthen the importance of objective reality and make us think that everything is an individual existence. It is also natural to think that everything that can be experienced in life, all materials and phenomena can be established alone.

It is rare for us to further observe that the so-called individual existence, or even the seemingly independent life, is only an extension of the fragmented messages received by the limited facial features.

Not only that, the binary structure of the mind brings relative ideas, limits the whole to a small part, and creates a virtual separate reality in the dimension of space.

Obviously, this is not enough for human beings, and we have to add it to this virtual reality through the virtual framework of time.

Time plus space naturally gives us a concept of change. For example, from home to the company, if there is no time sequence, there is no distance to talk about, at most it is only a simple distance.

Then expand the concept of distance into the point of view of life, we can also describe the story of life. Through time, the difference between life and death naturally arises. Some appear and some disappear. When there is life and death, everything is naturally defined as impermanence, impermanence, and impermanence of life.

The only normal thing in life is change. The change itself is inseparable from the concept of time.

Time naturally becomes a very important part of our understanding of the world. Without the axis of time, the world we see is incomplete. With the axis of time, our human experience is suddenly separated from the animal area.

For any body to exist, there must be a "cause" and a "result". It is inseparable from cause-effect. Cause-effect itself is inseparable from time-space. If there is no time-space, in fact, there is no cause-effect.

The reason for saying this is that the concept of time naturally produces a sequence. What happens in the former naturally becomes the cause, while the later natural change results. Using the example from home to company, it is precisely because of the reason of "leaving home" that there is the result of "going to the company". In this way, people and people, things and things, people and things before and after or causal order, also determined, and these phenomena can be linked together as the story of our lives.

However, we usually do not notice that even this connection is a product of the mind.

We often fail to realize that only the "present" exists.

Everything that can happen appears in the "now". There is only "now", which implies everything that can happen. Although "present" contains everything, only "present" exists. However, arranging priorities through time enables us to specify and describe something, someone, experience, and even "learning" more accurately, and to distinguish good experiences from bad ones. It is hoped that good experiences can be repeated, while bad experiences should be prevented anyway. In the invisible, although the past and the future are fictional, they are inseparable from the present.

In this way, it not only produces experience, but also further extends and strengthens the "I" through these experiences.

"I" itself is the source of all pain and trouble. Not only time-space, experience, cause-effect are all fictional, they are all products of the mind. Even "I" is just a product of the mind, as well as a fictional existence.

Having said that, everything in the world is inseparable from the fictional "I" experience, the "I" ability, the "me" story, the "me" world.

Time, such a sequence established by the mind, is originally a fictional reality. But the program, which is used as a comparison, comes to life by itself and becomes "real".

Which one of us doesn't live in the past or in the future at any time?

Standing as one, time-space is only one of the possibilities of infinite possibilities, which is proportionally too small to be representative, and we can even call it hallucination.

However, from a human point of view, time-space has become our only possibility, the only reality, which makes us rule out all other possibilities and enlarge everything in our life.

That's the most incredible thing.
