Episode 19 - Here and Now

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK) in 1968. 

Consider the word time; we see that it reads in the opposite direction, emit. This is a reference to the energy that is released every moment by any existential observer of time. In other words, you cannot observe time without releasing energy moment by moment. So time, as experienced by human beings depends on energy emission by those human beings. 

All experienced events are protensive, meaning that they are stretched in time. They have duration; i.e. a protensive event is taking time for me to perform it. "Philosophically, all our experience is based on protensive events. We are seeing things extended in space and time. It takes time to see space, so that we cannot separate space and time and the energy that we expend in perceiving them. Space, time, power we must think of as a trinity. Do not think of power being expended except through time on a given space."
