time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once...

propofol
That sounds right. Thanks.
Propofol is also the drug his
doctor cranked into Michael Jackson.
Leaning, thanks for posting your formula...I just used it to complete my 2018 tax return.
What this means for me, surgery-wise, is lying on the preparation table as the nurse dials in some sedation. Then me looking over at her and asking when the operation will begin. And she says, “It’s done already.”
That was my experience too when I had rotor cuff surgery ... Over? What?
If that’s the same stuff as MJ used, it must
have put a big crimp in his kiddy-diddling.
And let’s not forget what Jim Croce said about “Time in a Bottle”.
In other words, as I have always thought, time is an expression of motion. If nothing moved, not even a electron or the smallest particle, there would be no time. This includes our perceptions and thoughts, which involve motion in the form of electrical and chemical activity.
Sister Mary Joseph didn’t do any better for me....of course, they may be getting better at that sort of explanation since the ‘50s....
But it may not be for the squeamish, if you know what I mean, and you do if you think about it.
The same thing happened to me. I was fully conscious laying on a gurney in the pre-op room with the nurse and my wife chattering behind me and a T.V. going on to my side. Then, without any break in continuity, a nurse came up and told me the operation was a success. What? Yes, it was Propofol.
God Himself is outside time, so He has no time limitations. He exists and always has existed in the “forever now”. But He placed mankind inside a time system, marked by sun, moon and stars. As stated in Scripture, “...in the fullness of time, Christ came into the world, born of a woman...” He humbled Himself and became confined to our system of time. In Heaven, we’ll be outside of time. God Himself is the LIGHT of Heaven.
I understand that concept even if my mind cannot actually grasp it since my existence is in time...I agree with your statements.
There you go again, reminding me of how the percentage has shifted and not in my favor.
But it does make sense.
“It has been proven impossible for a human to do several things simultaneously.”
It depends how you define “do things”. Clearly it is difficult to do separate but simultaneous things with your right arm, for example. But fMRIs of the brain clearly show mental processes proceeding in parallel, just as we experience. Frequently I find myself thinking about two things at once, but the act of realizing that is too much and disrupts the parallelism. So it appears my mind has two concurrent processors but not three.
time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once...
Shannon thought differently.
100%
Thanks. I failed to include my intended closing sentences: Whatever the case may be regarding stars, moons, etc. in the heavenly realm they are not needed for light or to mark times or seasons. God Himself IS the light of Heaven. And there is no night in Heaven, according to the Scriptures.
Got the old human malady - telling myself I can’t wait to get to Heaven and then telling myself I want to put it off as long as possible.....can’t imagine an eternity where nothing ever gets old or boring.....will have that same eternity to bask in His Love.
