Our next event with Ivo Mensch is on the 23rd October.
In this presentation Bonnitta Roy draws on Stephen Hawking's final theory of time to argue we need a different lens to understand the past - one that is concretized and fixed - than the future, which is free, open and undetermined. Developing a deeper understanding of the fabric of time, can allow us to become free of the monotony of chronos and open to the nowness of kainos or as Gebser argued "time freedom."
The present moment is infinite. Abres los ojos amigos!
This is Amazing!
Bonnitta Rocks TIME!
Best defintions of the NOW, till now
The distinction between past and future time lenses, from Steven Hawking, blew my mind.
The graphics she uses are phenomenal.
Particularly the one looking at the past from the outside-in, not the way we look at it from the inside-out.
The Q&As at the end are eye opening.
(Especially the stuff she said about what's 'there and not there' at the same time;)
Can we be free of time? Certainly, by realizing that time is not a thing and only a construct of perception and interpretation. It's deceptively easy to accomplish, too.
@20:00 holy smokes this woman is good at thinking in abstract models! 👌
Thank you for this presentation. My question is why we need to believe in the existence of time when motion and change are enough to account for our experience. Time then becomes nothing more than some extent of change.
Regarding the lady's question at 19:35 if there is any kind of practice that she can do to experience Time, Reality and Existence more fully and deeply; "Transient Hypofrontality" is the process that is foundational to all so-called "flow states" of altered consciousness, which is a down regulation of the prefrontal cortex through activities like meditation, playing ping pong, taking walks in Nature, etc., which allows for a deeper "reading" and experience of the "Passage of Time" at the balancing point of the Past to Future spectrum, that is often referred to as the "Present Moment" (or the instant and illusion of becoming and seemingly (temporarily) being free of time). The "Present Moment" is an illusion because it is always in the "flux" of becoming and therefore can never be "fixed" in Time. Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert has done great research on this "mind trick" we play on ourselves, that he has called the "end-of-history" illusion.
A pure abstraction is NOT something that “is there and not there at the same time”. A pure abstraction is something apart from concrete existence.
This is an excellent presentation!!
Economics says ‘I don’t have time for you’, so two things:
We don’t know each other, and,
We can’t change anything even if we thought we could.
3.5%.
Physics of change, v repetitive economics of our termination.
How do memories work in these different states? I feel like if you are weaving thru time in Kainos then you are essentially not forming attachments, so you aren't forming memories.
For me, if I want to live in Kainos then that would mean I'm no longer setting intentions or creating expectations - which is freeing but also disconnecting for me.
What was the movie Bonnie referred to ? Is it Memento or Pulp Fiction ? Or something else ? Thank you !
