We have a world in which matter can assume the different states of gas, liquid, or solid depending on temperature. We could possibly 'exist' in a universe that evolves through the three states of matter in a macro sense, see Zeeya Merali's article, Faster, faster, time is running out! in the December 22nd, 2007 issue of New Scientist. What we don't know is our key relationships.
We cannot be sure that we are fixed already for all time. As slowly moving or rapidly exploding sentient beings, we cannot know the relative speeds of light and matter in the sense of some containing framework. A notion that may be difficult to comprehend.
We have operational concepts that suggest that we have freedom to choose, which is what we seem to be doing all the time. We don't see ourselves as single dimensional entities, but at least three dimensional even though we know of more dimensions that we cannot observe from where we are and because of who and what we are.
We are aware that to be what we are has taken a very long time, and that we were not just a creation of seven days, no matter how that may be measured, but we were programmed by our gaia over many many millions of years. Each word of the language that makes us up went through the filter of many millions of years of whittling our being out of the fabric of our universe.
We do know that time is something that reaches infinitely in all directions and spaces, and that we are presently helpless in attempting to reach into those directions and spaces, but that we hope that we shall oversome our inability.
We sense that we have self awareness, that we have some mastery over a simple range of senses that arise from waves of different forms passing over instruments within our bodies. We are aware that we are made up of solids, liquids, and gases. We are aware that should we be all solid, we would not have life, or if we were all liquid we would not have life, or if we were all gas, we would not have life. We are aware, thus that our existence is within a framework of solid, liquid, and gas. We are also aware that the solids in our being provide structure, but seem to be created out of inspirations that arise from our tapping into an energy seemingly driven by light.
We don't really understand our relationship to light. We know that light seems to be released from matter, but we do not know whether this is because matter engulfs light as it travels through spacetime, or whether light joins to itself in a way that matter does not. We assume light has a single source, omitting the possibility that light is unseen matter.
We forget that light itself is dark matter and dark energy. We turn the world inside out and expect to understand it. What we fail to realize is that we are the past, the present, and the future. All time is frozen, period. We are light within time. We experience gas, liquid, solid, but we are none of these. We are light that shines on these states of form. We are constant light.
