Chapter 20 Past and Future

The word to imagine immediately is the past and the future and the word, the present, doesn't occur from the word which is called time.
This is because we always live in the future.
As we have no choice but to live in the present, we have but to live in the feeling, minding in the past or the future.
Therefore, a lot of negative feeling appears.
Whereas there will be positive feeling, minding sometimes too, our body have the proclivity which has negative feeling, minding about the past and the future, and it is possible to have the positive feeling, minding only in this moment at present.
At present, in this moment, because it passes immediately to the past in the moment, it is indeed difficult for positive feeling, minding to be left in the memory.
On the other hand, it is easy for the negative feeling, minding to be left in the memory because it projects into the future.
Should you attempt of remembering the past, many negative things will be in appearing.
Memory itself may call negative feeling.
Of course, because the positive experience is as same as the negative one but is to feel only in this moment at present, we have no time to get memory at present, in this moment.
Then, we get the feeling, minding which is negative about the passing past and the future which comes and is did not yet.
It is evident that the past was Time and the future will be Time, but "now and here" is different dimension from Time.
Time is to be during cut end from the one where the time to put a cut end to the four dimensional world in this moment at present piles up.
If thinking three dimensional way, the four dimensional world which have the width of the time, we are inclined to think the past and the future involved.
A four dimensional world can survey the whole three dimensional world with width of the time and there is only in this present moment which is not there in the past and the future.
Therefore, the concept of Time is originally only in this moment at present.
The width of a time and other time is Time which is four dimensional world.
The Universe is four dimensional world.
But we, the human being who exists as the part of the Earth can only live in three dimensional world which has sorted out Time as the past, the present and the future.
Our illusion happens for this reason.
Because we, too, are the member of the Universe after all, we exist in the four dimensional world.
Therefore, the past and the future are not Time, are a part in the four dimensional world which was seen from the three dimensional world.
