"Master, how do we know of time?"
"Lucretius puts it admirably: 'from things themselves there results a sense of what has already taken place'. (Lucretius 40-41) It shows how we perceive time through events. But not only do we ideate time in that way, but also all objects, in fact the whole of our Reality. We can only ideate a thing by a succession of ideas saying that it is still (or again) the thing. A comparison of the two of a pair. We call that 'being' or 'to exist'. The best example perhaps is our appreciation of a scenery, a painting, sculpture or else. Because ideation can ONLY work as a string of idea atoms (Binary, Pair), i.e. plusses and minusses, our sense of seeing has to make the perceived field into a string of events. It is thus that the eye does not steady on such a sight but is always a-roving. We know time through events, we know objects or existence, by making them into events. Always the knotted string of Time is unwinding and unwinding." [35], [102]
