Point M is not defined as existing when it is located at these points. However, M is defined as existing at all other points on the line. As can be seen, M interacts with A-space four times in this example. The temporal discontinuities between mental states force us to revise our understanding of the relationship between past, present and future. As we know, the past is, by definition, temporally related to the present.
Memory is thought, or a state of awareness, which exists at the present.
The Infinite Consciousness Home Page Endnotes 1. Each point on the time line is a different now. Earlier in this article, I stated that M exists at each point on the time line for zero seconds. This is because M has been in existence for a length of time when it is at any of these points on the time line. However, in Example 4, M has been in existence for zero seconds when it is at A. Consequently, M cannot be defined as existing at A. 4.
