Jones said:loreta said:Time is also change, and Time changes us. We can see that notion in Proust also. How Time can transform us. But I see ourselves as beings that live in and out of Time. Time is a fascinating subject, yes indeed.
So perhaps we need both not-time and time (or the illusion of it) so that we can transform?
I think that when we are in the middle of the no-time is where we can really work with ourselves, change, grow. But we have to live also in the time (or the illusion of it): we have to work, pay our bills, go here and there.
What is interesting in Proust is that at the end of the book the narrator see how everyone has changed. Time, the illusion of time, the Time that is like a prison, has transformed the people and made them like caricatures of themselves. Like little monsters. Maybe because they were just living in the Time that is an illusion. For Proust the important, the really important time is the other one, the one that gives insight. The no-time, the time that is silence and is a quest, an interior journey. This travel is a time travel, a very intimated travel that uses the memory to unravel who we are. It is important to pay our bills, in this illusion of time that it is really a prison but it is more important to be able to be in that other time, where time is like an ocean.
