captain_slinkyYour physical being can only experience time in a linear, forward way. Your mind, however, can only experience time in a backwards, non-linear way. The two things that make you YOU will never experience the world in the same way, yet they keep on being YOU.
I don't know what this means yet, but I feel like it's an important realization.
It's like your physical body is a giant turtle that just keeps walking in a straight line, and your mind is a hyper little gnome with a variety of looking glasses ranging from microscopes to telescopes, and he's always facing the opposite direction of the turtle. Every time he feels the turtle go over a bump he yells WHAT WAS THAT and uses all his contraptions to examine what it was and complain to the turtle about it, but the turtle just keeps on moving.
