수면 중 시간과 의식의 본질

### 시간과 의식의 본질 수면과 지각에 대한 이해
* 🕰 수면 상태에서는 시간 인식을 생성하는 뇌가 활동하지 않기 때문에 **시간 감각을 잃게 됩니다.**
* 🌌 과거와 미래는 끝없이 펼쳐진 광활한 공간으로 상상할 수 있지만, 우리의 경험은 현재, 즉 **"지금"에 국한**되어 있기 때문에 그 속으로 진정으로 들어갈 수는 없습니다.
* 💭 과거나 미래에 대한 성찰은 현재에 일어나며, 이는 이러한 개념이 우리의 인식과 독립적으로 존재하지 않을 수 있음을 나타냅니다.
* ⏳ "아무도 가본 적이 없다면 과거라는 이 장소가 실제로 존재한다는 것을 어떻게 알 수 있을까요?" 이 질문은 시간에 대한 우리의 이해에 도전하며, **시간이 마음에서 만들어낸 환상**일 수 있음을 시사합니다.
* 🔍 시간 경험은 우리의 마음을 통해 여과되며, **수면 중에 마음이 부재**하면 시간 감각도 사라져 순간적으로 깨어난 것처럼 느껴집니다.
* 🧠 주황색 선글라스가 눈에 대한 인식을 왜곡하는 것처럼 우리의 마음은 현실에 제한을 두며, 따라서 **시간과 공간은 우리 의식의 구성물**입니다.
* ✨ 이러한 한계에 대한 인식을 정화할 때, 우리는 **존재와의 연결을 반영하는 현실의 무한한 본질**과 그로부터 오는 아름다움을 경험할 수 있습니다.
* ❤ 궁극적으로 우리가 세상을 경험하는 방식은 변하지 않지만, 그 경험에 대한 인식은 변화하여 **우리 주변의 모든 것에서 아름다움과 사랑**을 볼 수 있게 됩니다.

의식은 시간을 창조하는 정신이 부재하기 때문에 수면 중에는 시간이 존재하지 않는다는 것을 보여줍니다.

why do we lose sense of time when we're sleeping? Why do we lose sense of time when we're sleeping? Why do we lose sense of time when we're sleeping? Try now you understand what I mean by now, yeah? And if we represent the past, we could imagine that the past is like a vast space that extends endlessly behind the now, and that the future is a vast space that extends indefinitely in front of the now, yes? And the distance between the past and the future is what we call time, yes? Or the distance between two events in the past or the future. So, so now let's explore time, the past, and the future. So now, just for a few moments, leave the now and visit this place that you call the past. I, when I say visit it, I don't mean just think about it or imagine it, because if you think about it, let's take, say, you take the image of breakfast this morning. That image, image doesn't take place in the past. That image takes place now. So I don't

mean just think about the past or imagine the past. I mean, go there, leave the now, just step out of the now and go into the past. That's not possible, okay? Because if I try to step into the past, that effort is happening now. Exactly. So, can anyone here, just while we're discussing, can anyone here step out of the past and just step out of the now and visit the past, just for a few moments? No. Can you imagine, Alexander, that anybody that has ever lived, not just us kind of weirdos that are interested in nonduality, but regular people, that could you imagine that any of them could just for a few moments step out of the now and actually go to the place that we call the past? No. Okay, so if nobody's ever been there, and presumably the same applies for the future, yeah. So, if nobody, nobody has ever been there, how do we know that this place called the past really exists? Surely experience must be the test of the existence of something. So, if nobody's ever been there, nobody's

ever got a glimpse of it. How do we know it's there? We don't really. We don't. No, we don't know it's there. We imagine it's there, but we don't know it's there. We have no knowledge of it at all. Could it be that it's not there? Yes. And wouldn't that be in line with our experience? In other words, could it be that the past and the future don't exist in the way that our minds imagine them? Yes. After all, have you ever experienced anything apart from now? No. And how many Nows have you experienced in your life? Or let's just take today. How many Nows have you experienced today? That's a trick question. One. One. One. Yeah. So, so all your life, you're only going to experience one now? Yes. Yes. And that, that now. We've already discovered that, contrary to popular belief, the now is not this fraction of a moment sandwiched between these two vast spaces of the past and future. That the vast spaces of the past and future aren't

there so now is not a moment in time. We normally think that the now is moving slowly through time. Yeah, H. How fast is the now moving through time in your experience? It's another trick question. It's not moving. It's not moving. It's not going anywhere. It hasn't come from anywhere, and it's not going anywhere. So this now is the only now there is, and this now is not a moment in time. How long does this now last? It's Eternal. It's Eternal, and you understand that by Eternal. Eternal doesn't mean Everlasting in time. It means ever-present now. So if we're just simple and we just stay with the facts of our experience, time is never experienced. Time is what the now looks like when it is filtered through our mind. In other words, time, it doesn't exist in our mind. It seems to exist in our mind, and therefore, if that's the case, wouldn't it make sense that when our mind disappears in sleep, the seeming existence of time disappears with it? Yes, that's why we don't experience

time when we're asleep. Actually, we don't experience time when we're awake, but we seem to. But when we're asleep, we don't even seem to experience time because no mind is present in sleep. So, that's why you seem to wake up in the same moment that you fall asleep, because there is no time in between two waking states or two dream states. Okay, that's confusing, but it makes sense. Um, it's confusing that it makes sense. No, no, it's confusing, but it makes sense. It's confusing, but it makes sense. Yes, yes, it's exactly [Laughter]. It's confusing because we compare, because everything that I've said you've understood in your own experience and you've agreed with, and it's very simple what I've said if you just stick with your experience. But when we compare that with the way reality seems from the point of view of the mind, it conflicts with the mind's view of reality. So, it is the mind that superimposes its own limitations on reality and makes reality appear in a

way that is consistent with those limitations. Just as I said this morning, if you put on a pair of orange sunglasses when you're skiing, you very quickly forget that you've put the glasses on, and the snow appears to be orange. You think the snow is orange. The snow is appearing in accordance with the limitations or the coloring of your glasses, but because you have forgot that you are looking through this limited medium, you think that the orange color belongs to the snow. Now, each of our minds is a limited medium. Our minds are the orange glasses, but the orange color is time and space. That's the tint of our minds, time and space. So, when Consciousness looks through the time and space glasses of our mind, it sees a three-dimensional, a four-dimensional world—three dimensions of time and one dimension of space—and we think time and space belongs to the world. No, it doesn't. Time and space are the orange glasses through which Consciousness is looking at eternity. That's what I meant when I

said sometime today or yesterday that the world as we normally see it is a reification or an objectification of the limitations of our mind. The limits that we seem to see in the world belong to the glasses of the Mind through which we perceive. If you take away the limitations of the Mind through which we perceive, what is out there is eternal, infinite awareness, or God's INF being. And that's what the sufis mean when they say everything is the face of God. It's what William Blake meant when he said when the doors of perception are cleansed, everything will be seen as it really is, infinite. The doors of perception, that's the glasses of time and space through which that's the doors of perception. When the doors of perception are cleansed, when the mind is cleansed of time and space, what seem to be finite will be seen as infinite in religious terms as God's face. And what does that look like? I know you can't really, you can't see it technically. No, you can't see it.

you know it through the experience of beauty. That's what the experience of beauty is. That's how you experience it. And in exactly the same way that when your relationship with other people and animals are cleansed from the limitations of the mind, what seems to be a relationship with another is felt as love, closeness, friendship. Okay, so you mean it's the same beauty as like looking at the window and admiring the mountains. It's the same when you experience beauty in any form. That is reality, eternal, infinite consciousness filtering into your finite mind. Beauty is the experience of the collapse of the distinction between consciousness and existence or between self and other. I'm giving you a rational explanation of it, but the actual experience of it is the experience of beauty or love. So, the way the world appears doesn't change, but the way you experience that appearance does change. So, don't expect suddenly the world to be transformed into some magical appearance. It's not the

appearance that changes. It's your experience of the appearance that changes. Okay.

Time Is Never Actually Experienced

시간의 본질과 시간에 대한 우리의 인식

수면 중에는 물리적으로 현재 순간에서 벗어날 수 없기 때문에 시간 감각을 잃게 됩니다.

과거와 미래는 현재에서 확장된 개념적 공간이며, 그 사이의 거리가 우리가 시간으로 인식하는 것입니다.

아무도 실제로 과거나 미래를 방문할 수 없기 때문에 그 존재는 불확실한 상태로 남아 있습니다.

우리는 현재, 즉 "지금"이라는 순간만을 경험하기 때문에 과거와 미래의 존재는 불확실합니다.

'지금'이라는 개념은 한순간이 아니라 영원하고 항상 존재하는 것입니다.

시간은 우리의 마음속에 존재하는 것처럼 보이지만, 수면 중에 마음이 사라지면 시간에 대한 인식도 사라집니다.

수면 중에는 시간을 경험하지 못하기 때문에 즉시 깨어나는 느낌을 받습니다.

마음은 현실에 자신의 한계를 겹쳐서 시간과 공간에 대한 왜곡된 인식을 만들어냅니다.

우리의 마음은 주황색 선글라스처럼 제한된 매체로 작용하여 현실의 본질을 잘못 해석하고 시간과 공간이 세상에 내재되어 있다고 믿게 만듭니다.

세상에 대한 우리의 인식은 마음의 한계에 의해 형성됩니다.

이러한 한계를 정화하면 영원하고 무한한 인식이 드러나며, 이는 신의 존재로 간주됩니다.

아름다움과 사랑의 경험은 이러한 인식의 전환에서 발생하며, 의식과 존재의 구분이 무너집니다.

외모에 대한 경험은 주관적이며 시간이 지남에 따라 달라질 수 있습니다.

변화하는 것은 외모 자체가 아니라 외모에 대한 우리의 인식과 경험입니다.

이러한 관점의 변화는 아름다움과 정체성에 대한 더 깊은 이해로 이어질 수 있습니다.
