Well it may be a weird feeling because humanity has been alienated from oneness. Humanity is programmed to be an individual. [...]

A good exercise to strengthen one's handle on the paradigm shift that is 'enlightenment', is to redefine the things we perceive. Instead of viewing your world as a compilation of numerous objects, consider the many apparent objects as a group of adjectives that collectively define the One and Only noun that exists; so that a statement, that "Here is a chair.", would be paraphrased thusly: "Here the Universe is chairish.".
The goal of this thought experiment (and others like it) is to train one's mind to see things not as objects ...but as aspects of the only object in existence -- the Universe.

if there is no past and no future, how do you explain a clock? if there is no future the clock wouldn't spin and if there is no past the clock wouldn't be there.
everything is real. all talk about "no future no past" and whatnot is psychology. it's important in it's own right because it's real too. but do not be deluded and start thinking that nothing matters and that nothing is real.

Understandable. However, this form of yourself resides in a matrix. This is a testing ground for you to understand and learn more about you. This is the space/time continuum, three dimensions of space and one of time. The majority of the population has no idea of the other place you reside: the time/space continuum. That is where you go when you pass. When your there, in a place of three dimensions of time and one of space, you are able to view any given incarnation with the opportunity to move forward and backward through time. Problem is that you cannot learn from there. Thus one jumps into an incarnation to put their next learnings into motion.
You're right. It's not that nothing matters because this does. However, in the eternal existence, this life is microscopic. The pain and suffering of this specific life is nothing more than an illusion. If people were given this knowledge, they would not choose to exist this way. Sadly, people are of the understanding that "this is all you've got" when that simply isn't the case.

haven't you ever been scared of something that didn't exist? even though it's not real it's still real.
