Instead I feel that philosophical methods can be extended to cover both Physics and Spiritualism. That is my Quest (to follow that star, no matter how....). So what is the link? Time has been infinately analyzed in philosophy (both Eastern and Western). And those philosophies basically give three answers: 1) time is just another dimansion like up and down, left and right and me mistake the ever presence of everything for some percieved passage (this is a variation of time is just an illusion), 2) time is something eternal and beyond (the Kosmos), and 3) some mixture of the two (this inclused our "common-sense notions"). What do these philosophical insights have to say about the spirit? Under the first assumption (time is an illusion globally and within each perception--kinda like some materialists say our "sense of choice" is a by-product of what we had for dinner last night) our experiences are invalidated and the way to get beyond is to let all things go (in the final act this means letting go of life as well). Under the second assumption (time is eternal and beyond already) what is important is beyond the Kosmos but real nonetheless, and we must strive to return to it. Because the creativity, the Divine (probably) dwells within that Eternity. Under the third assumption (our "common-sense" understanding of time) we are stuck right where we are--locked in our monkey minds. Philosophy is literally the love of wisdom. It is both the most general and least applicable
