no, but i reckon it is.  everything is somewhat connected, next to where i
live there is an estuary, next to that is the ocean, next to that is the
sky, then space, then some planets, then more space then some nebula and
stuff, and on and on... (and thats only in the dimension/s available to
human perception, the other unknown ones are connected also, they have to be
for the fabric to hold its overall pattern)

how long is a moment? are all our moments the exact same time duration or do
the differ?  my old tutor at the ficino school of practical philosophy used
to tell us that if you meditate for half an hour in the morning, its not
like you are losing time during the day, but that you actually gain time
during the day, because your mind is rested and percieves things better than
a mind in constant inner chatter..
this can even be tested, try it yourself!
if the human mind was configured falsely, then what would be the correct
way? (and yet still be 'human'?)
when you become more conscious, then you have more conscious awareness of
the environment you are in. i'm not sure, but i reckon this includes time in
a certain way.

to me, religion and science are the same thing... god is everything, and
science is the study of things..
