The nature of time has stood as a great enigma that has puzzled
philosophers and physicists since antiquity. Time Sutra explains
not only the nature of time, but also the intimate relationship
between time and memory. Time is not what we think it is. Our
understanding of time is founded on a basic misconception about the
nature of our memory. In a clear and methodical way Time Sutra lays
out a path of reason-a logical and empirical argument that
reacquaints us with something we have long forgotten. Time Sutra is
a thread of reason reconnecting us with our original memory.
Despite the immense amount of scientific and philosophical
literature on the subject of time, something important has been
left unsaid. In modern physics there is a surprising lack of
evidence for time. The description of reality that physics provides
is essentially timeless. Likewise, psychology convincingly
demonstrates that our 'sense' of time is not innate, it is learned
through culture. And beginning with the earliest philosophers, the
idea of time was frequently thought to be an illusion. Nowhere in
science or philosophy is there a clear unequivocal statement
describing the nature of time. Nevertheless, we think in such a way
that we are convinced our life is an experience that takes place in
time. But, time-consciousness has never been adequately explained.
Written in an accessible, non-technical style, Time Sutra lays out
a theory of time that not only solves the enigma of time but also
resolves some of the most intractable problems of philosophy. This
is a radically different worldview from the way in which we
commonly frame our reality-Time Sutra reveals the view that remains
after the frame is eliminated.
