Have you ever experienced any other time but now?
You are never not now - you are always present.

It is now now so where are you going to go to put the other end of the measuring stick?
Some other time is not here - except as an idea that mind has now.

But I did experience last week, two years ago, etc...and yet I am always present, too.

Where is 'last week' now?
Where is 2 minutes from now?

There is no such thing as nothing period!

Correct.
But, none-the-less, the Idea of Nothing had to manifest because you cannot have an Idea of Something without an Idea of Nothing to compare it to.
So the Idea of Something caused itself and the Idea of Nothing to materialize and manifest using the dimensions of Space and Time.
Time is the only dimension both Ideas can exist in simultaneously.
So....Nothing is nothing. The Idea of Nothing could never materialize in space. The Idea of Nothing could, however, exist in Time and does. Fleeting ideas born in minds in the fabric of Time.
The Idea of Something can exist in space and time.

If it appeared in someone's mind as Nothing...it's not nothing, it's an Idea that exists in the dimension of Time.
Nothing doesn't need to exist to be an idea. And yet it's impossible that the Idea of Nothing hasn't always existed.
It's the IDEA that's important.
For Something to be an Idea -- Something had to 'materialize'. And what it materialized were the woven dimensions of Time and Space in which the Idea of Nothing co-exists in Time with the Idea of Something.

Time, space, power, reality, soul, and mind are all just different names for infinate counsiousness which is far beyond any concepts other than that of infinate god.

Disagree, the system is defined. It's intelligent inherently -- it's a mathematical process set into motion for the purpose of causing an Idea of Nothing to coexist in the dimension and fabric of Time with the Idea of Something.
That's my take.

Nothing could not exist unless the Idea of Something also existed to define it. It's an impossible paradox to overcome.

The only reason humans exist is to define God (as our creator). It has no idea what it is without our attempts to describe its OWN beingness. This is a selfish act on its part but you know we were the creation it decided upon ulimately as its interpreter; (insects did not pass muster apparently).

Why would we need to define a Creator if a Creator existed already in a definite form?
We are the last step in a mathematical equation of Ideas that went from the first 'Something' that manifested itself as an Idea to the Idea of Nothing that manifested in Minds.

We don't have to define it. We are being used to define Itself to Itself. We are God existing in a definite form as individualized parts of itself. We probably are the last step FINAL in its imperfect expression of itself as perfection is not attainable.
