His answer went over and beyond me, and all I could really decipher was that time exists all at once, it isn't linear. Well, I asked.

Time in the physical world is like this.

If you pick up a DVD, it contains an entire storyline that exists in one space and time.

The beginning, middle and end of the storyline are all existing at once.

The only way to view the storyline is to sit down and watch the story play out moment by moment.

I’ve always thought that was true. That time does not flow, but rather we flow through time. The past and the future are real and have always existed, but our consciousness limits us to experiencing only the present. It’s one of the conditions of being alive that we are limited in that way.
