How many moments are there in a minute? We can't really answer that. The term 'moment' refers to an undefined short length of time. People often talk about "each moment" and "in the moment", but these are vague throw-away expressions that give a sense of time being divisible. Suggesting there are moments of time implies that time can be split up. But that's not our real experience of time. There aren’t chunks of time where one stops and another begins. Time is continually rolling on.

This applies also to our sense of time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, and so on. Time isn't really divided up into seconds, minutes, hours etc. Humans have devised ways to divide up time into manageable measurements. It's really useful to have a calendar and a shared structure of hours and minutes throughout each day. But it seems that we fall into the belief that time is really structured in this way. Days, hours and minutes become important to our everyday life, to the extent that sometimes it feels like our lives are ruled by the clock.

It's important to recognise that time is continually flowing. Then we can go a step further and recognise that time is the appearance of continual change in the universe. Time can't happen without the appearance of change. If the world didn't change then time would seem to stand still, or rather, there would be no time. The appearance of change, in turn, is dependent on space, or the appearance of distance. Without distance then space can't be perceived, but distance is itself the appearance of space between forms. For example, consider a vast empty space. We would have no idea of how vast it was until there were two or more forms or 'things' within the space to show a sense of distance between them. Without forms then there is no distance and no appearance of space.

So the appearance of forms gives a sense of distance, or space, and the change or movement of forms gives the appearance of time. The world of space and time appears as a continual flow of changing forms. But are there really numerous forms that change? I've never found any limit to forms. For example, consider an acorn that grows on an Oak tree. Its beginning comes from the tree, and the tree's beginning comes from an acorn, and so on. The acorn also doesn't have an end. It falls to the ground, takes root and develops into an Oak tree, in turn growing more acorns and scattering these. We can't say where or when the acorn begins or ends. Even if the acorn doesn't take root it will decay into the environment of which it is always made. The form of the acorn changes, but we can't really say that it is a limited form.

As it does with time, the human mind likes to divide the world of space, but into forms or things. We say there is an acorn, a leaf, a branch, a trunk etc. But these are vague definitions of 'things' that really are one 'thing'. The world of changing forms is one world flowing within itself. There are not really many forms. It could be argued that two rocks floating in empty space are two forms. But this would be an impossible situation. How would those rocks come to be rocks? There would need to be a flow of change from the empty space forming into a rock. In that case the empty space isn't really nothing, and there is again a recognition that there is one form flowing within itself, appearing as if there are two forms and empty space.

This leads us further into the recognition that space and time are not two separate things. Time is an appearance of changing space. And what can we say about the changing space that appears? It gives the impression of separation, division and distance, but really it is a singularity expressing a multiplicity within itself. The divisions of time and space are not real. There is only One, an Infinite One. The appearance of time and space is real in the sense that it is Here and Now.

It's helpful to understand the world or universe, space and time, as appearing from a Big Bang, and that the Big Bang came from a Singularity. What is often overlooked is that the timeless formless Singularity is still here now. The world of time and space appears within the formless timeless Singularity Here and Now.
