Now is not there. Time as a flow, past to present to future, where does one put a point in flow. There is time or there is ending of time.

Hi David,

<pre> Does time come into being when the past denies the present?
</pre>

If there is no past then there is no time only the present.As i am also past dependent it could be said that i am time.To make the statement 'there is only now',is really the not now,as it is a statement from the past so the present is past.A better statement could be there is only not now.

Time exists in the mind of man, things of mind exists only in the mind.
