I am eternal and the mind is an appearance to me. All manisfestation is seen by me and i am always present. 'Things' come and go, appear and disappear but i am constant.

um......yes it does.
That chain of causation will exist when you collide with it, and then there's your own causal chain that gets (somehow) logically connected from one ongoing trajectory to a collision with a whole series of trajectories that could never even exist if not for the continuation of the progressive causal trajectory that you artificially eliminated when you traveled forward.
Time is a real thing.
It's been proven again and again with space missions (calculating the time it takes to get from point A to point B
They use it when planning literally everything that requires exact timing
Time is pretty obvious

No, It Doesn't.

Meaningless jargon.
You don't even have a point.
Time is a real thing.
Then show me a picture of this "Time"

Fine... what *IS* time, then?
Explain it.
They use it when planning literally everything that requires exact timing
So, you are saying that they use TIME when they require exact TIMING?
Kind of a pointless tautology, no?
Time is pretty obvious
If time is so obvious, then explain what it is.
Go ahead.... Just *DO* it.
According to Planck's Constant (it's a physics theory that caught on some time ago) Action can be taken down to the indivisible unit level and reliably quantified (not that we have the technology to do this just yet, but he did suggest that the velocity of the photon was a place to start). The specific inference here is that each unit of action is identical to the next and when one unit ends and the next replaces it, a chain of events (action progression) forms, which has a definite existential presence that, again, can be measured and quantified precisely (timing). The exact span of physical existence that each unit of action maintains before being replaced by the next unit of action's span of physical existence is the actual physical basis of time, and according to Planck's Constant, this basis is constant (hence the theory's name) and dependable. This theory sits at the foundation of literally everything that science, physics, manufacturing, trajectory plotting, process management and - well, pretty much everything the human being does other than daydream.
I realize that you won't understand this

Thats all well and good, but you have not explained time, you have only explained motion, and distance.

The seer is the only reality, everything else comes and goes, appears and disappears. The seer, the knower is always present, it has to be present prior to any appearance appearing.
What is 'seen' is fleeting. What 'sees' is eternal.
What is seeing is 'present'. It sees 'thoughts' about the past and future but it never sees the past or future. Only the present will ever be experienced. Experience can only happen now.
I offer you these two videos to clarify:

And frankly, I don't give a sh*t if you believe me or understand me on this.
You can quote esoteric crap until your head explodes and it won't change the fundamental basis that I just described to you.
Time is the before, during and after of progressive change
and all that junk talk about dimensions simply confuses people....
....to the point where you can lie right to their faces about what's right in front of you both without their having the right words to prove that you're full of sh*t.
Time is so foundational and is so firmly in control of you and everything you do and are and will ever be that it frosts my balls to even have to defend its existence to you.
It's an insult.
You're like a greasy sales weenie who thinks he's clever with a loophole he thinks he's found.
You're aging and you'll be aging until you die. It's not an illusion, pal. Time is eating you alive, one event unit at a time, and it will never stop.
So....what has caused you to age? What has caused your mother to become old?
relentlessly taken every day that you've ever lived away from you
robbed you
you'll never, ever, be able to touch again?
dragging you toward your own death
You can't stop it.
It will kill you
kill every single person you love.
It owns you
taking every second away from you
free to have its way with you.
I can guarantee you that it will kill you.
I can guarantee that you'll lose everything you have right now
forget about you
you are completely powerless to do anything at all about it.
It certainly won't stop it from taking you
it will literally take you and any memory of you from this world?
So, what is it, genius boy? Do you have a name for it?
And I am done with this stupid exchange.
