Studying the Nature of Time & Understanding the Mind of the God.

I've studied some of the Hermetic Philosophy, and did a little of my own thinking.

I've considered the Nature of the Time.

Time can be measured either as in the Straight Line - as is done by modern sciences, or as in Circles, as cycles that repeat itself (cycles of deaths & rebirths, cycles of season of years, etc.).

When Time is measured as a Straight Line, it can be divided into segments, each lasting for finite time. Straight line can be either infinite (Aleph Null, not Continuum) or finite (segment, not line - to be precise).

When Time is measured in Circles, each of points in time is both following and preceding every other point in time. Amount of points in such Circle is finite, but the cycles repeat itself, perhaps in infinite (Aleph Null again) amount of times.

Moments in past already happened, do not exist anymore. Moments in future do not exist yet. Present moment is so short that it in practice does not exist, is illusory - or at least Hermetic Philosophy says that. Is the Time itself illusory?

Flow of the Time is related with Change, is one of the Causes of Change itself.

Line is straight, therefore masculine.

Circle is round, therefore feminine.

-=- Union of masculine and feminine. -=-


Can the Time grow old and Decay, be subject to Entropy?

Is Time Infinite?

Is there Dawn of Time, is there a moment when Time was Young? (Either from perspective of a single life, for example... or from perspective from the Time as a whole?).

Understanding Nature of Time is difficult, but by words of Hermetic Philosophy - it helps to understand the nature of God's Mind, bringing one closer to the Union with God, bringing one closer to the Godhood.

Some things cannot be fully understood by humans, but can be perceived and contemplated. This helps in partial understanding and experiencing such.

Some of the best Scientists, both in modern times and in past, believe that by studying the Nature of Universe and it's Laws, they are practicing the devotion to the God that way, afterall.

Hermetic Philosophy says that God created humans to have someone to be able to perceive and appreciate the beauty of the Universe and World, His creations. By His Will, humanity will last until it fulfills it's role, given to us by Him.
