Time is not Being
I haven't studied
Zurvanism, an extinct branch of Zoroastrianism, but I understand that
they said "time created everything." They seem to think
that when something or someone is said to be in that state of
timelessness there is no you or I or it or separations---there isn't
birth or death, which suggests immortality for "time,” suggesting a God.
That is very good
description of what is not a timeless Being. Time is judged only in
relation to living beings who see time passing, and can remember past
time and can think of future times.
So Heidegger's idea of
Being as Time seems to be in line with that tendency of intellectuals to
overlook the fact that the “names” of things are an abstraction
which only point toward the reality of the thing named---the
abstract name is not the thing-in-itself.
“Time” is a secondary
abstraction or name for the actions of evolution in time. Living
objects are the real Beings, not the abstract name “time” for the
course or period that living beings move through.
The highest evolved
material-not-spiritual Beings are called Godhood, which are evolved
to in the material-supermaterial world, and time is important only in
relation to living objects in time.
