yea...
pretty much...
we believe today that the clock on the wall is all there is...
our ancestors knew better..
hidden in puzzle, riddle, rhyme, parable, mythos and story...
"Who killed cock robin?"...
The Oak King and Holly King coming forth at their appointed opposite times of the year...hunting each other down...
the Great Battle of the Two:...giants, knights, warriors, kings, monsters, or beasts...
Most mythologies have someone like Arthur settling the dispute / battle as arbiter or judge...
the two fight over a thing /place / person of value....which is really representative of the Earth or Creation...
Each year they fight...and the the victor gets the spoils for a year...so the eternal battle goes until the last battle...
the Gauls had names for these gods / powers ..
Teutates /Toutatis (material time and power rep. as a being holding up livestock in it's hands) and opposingly Taranis (ethereal / spiritual / true time and power rep as a being holding human beings ...All that is without form...eg..energy)
Old stories...real real old philo.
Caught between these two Eastern and Western compass poles were two concepts as Divinity which essentially was reflective of all of us..
Tau / Thau ...the "All" that is...the collective...the objective..(humanity)...the Many...
and Esus at the Bottom....the individual...the subjective....the One...

I'd go on...it is cool oldie-old-old stuff...but... many may find it's a boring topic when compared to other things ...
Speaking of Concept-uals an Powers, Mytho and Philo and all.

But one thing to think on is that material time is not a fixed thing...that time... say... in neighbouring Galaxies may or plain-flat-outright doesn't move the way it does in ours...
cool appetizer for thought...
