Visual Conception of Time

Time

Our perception of time is linear: ''an infinite procession of punctuated events''. Our senses give us the feeling of present, our memory take us to the past our imagination present us with infinite quantum choices splitting timeline in a firework bursting figure of  probabilities.


For other cultures or favored conceptual constructions, time is all present; time is a wheel, an eternal repeating cycle. Personally, I prefer the ''Master of Time'' simile; the Mayan, other Mesoamerican cultures, and previous Paleo-Indian conceptions. Time cycles repeat themselves yes, but slightly differently, evolving like the spiral of south western petro glyphs.

The concept of time is a human invention. The thought of one continuous timeline, where things happen one after the other is unthinkable. Maybe if we didn't sleep it would seem more synonymous...
