Timeless

Quora question

If heaven is forever and timeless, then is time the only issue in our lives? If the past and present were removed, would there be any perceivable problems on Earth?

Physical life is about more than just time. Time is only one of the constructs we have created as part of our framework of reality.

I’ll paraphrase Einstein, time is there to keep everything from happening at once.

We need to see the world and events in terms of action/reaction. Therefore, time allows us to do so. We say something or do something and someone else responds with words or actions. But without time, we couldn’t see or experience that.

If you were to remove the problems and strife on Earth, you would have to remove all fear. Fear is what drives our negative actions and reactions. Without fear, life would become heaven. But then what would be the point?

Life is to gain different experiences and insights. So, if we take away the strife and dramas, we can no longer grow into awareness or experience anything like parent/child, brother/sister, loved/unloved, supporter/supported, etc. events.

I hope that helps.
