Time is what gives consciousness its movement, and without consciousness, time and space cannot be perceived. Time without space is thought, and space without Time is the visual. Without perception of Time, consciousness may still arise, always on a steady picture, but without moving, without thinking. Without perception of Space, consciousness may still arise, but trapped in thought. Without Time and Space consciousness may not arise.
I hypothesize that the molasses of movement is a fundamental. If there were an omnipotent entity, in order to access the large universe it would have to see human life in but a blink of the eye. Relative to us, it experiences Earth life very fast. But relative to itself, what does it have to compare to? Thus, time is relative if you don’t have anything to compare it to. Because the entity is omnipotent, it has large amounts of data in its active consciousness. So earth life would go by like nothing to it. But relative to itself (its large amounts of data) it would feel the molasses of movement because it has large amount of data in its active consciousness to provide a contrast. However, if the organism had minimal amounts of data in its active consciousness, time would go by fast, in relation to itself.
From this we can also better understand pain. Pain happens to be congruous with our mechanical organism’s instincts. Pain causes the organism to add things to its consciousness, pain does not feel like it belongs in our consciousness so we try to mentally avoid it. If we mentally avoid it time goes by fast. But if pain makes itself an addition to our consciousness time goes by slower, because it is in relation to what it is not. So in order to feel better you must either totally block out the pain, or become one with the pain and time will go by fast. So actually what is the definition of real pain? Pain=how slow does time feel like it is going? So boredom, guilt, fear and worry is closer to true pain. And joy is often association with lack of need, and mindlessness. Because if you dont have a need you dont have a need present in your consciousness which causes your essence to cover more territory and be slow. So you might ask yourself, why does thinking about deep things bring me joy? Because you are one with thinking those things, and you accept them as part of your consciousness, so you cannot say time can be compared to them as a relation of what it is not. If you were afraid of thinking things and they were still in your consciousness, it would be a case of time being compared to them as a relation of what is not, and thus slowed down. Pain=slowed down perception of time. Pain does not neccesarily equal injury or pain signals. Slower perception of time does not always = slower rate of time in the real. There are factors. For instance, if consciousness is shrunk, time in the real world might go by at a different rate. Then one might erroneously conclude things, such as saying time seems to go by slower than usual, yet they are happy, when actually what is happening is their consciousness has withdrawn and really time only seeming slower than their normal consciousness, but in relation to the current consciousness the ratio between the two is actually faster and thus more happy. Similarly, when there are lots of visual objects in consciousness, like a detailed beautiful picture, that is actually the Space component and not Time component and thus does not make one unhappy.
