Let's meditate more.
In all civilizations, great minds were surprised of the innate capacity which enables us to recognise the past, present and future without to measure the durations.
Nevertheless, having only a poor understanding of the phenomena, they never imagined that there is time's recognition at every structural level of the beings, ipso facto, in inert matter.
How indeed, nowadays, be not surprised by the almost inviolable chronologies that characterize the dynamics of the life's phenomenon and of the universe, and show respect of unchanging directions (sense's respect) ?

Who, in the universe, can utilize the durations these intervals which are not space ?,
these intervals that can be associated to physical references and nevertheless which are in an timeless domain revealed by our abstraction domain,
who, if it is not an entity who is master of the "sense" and time,
a creative entity who transcends the energies and matter and is implicated in them ?

So, to speak of the time's understanding and of its use, an extreme semantic rigour is necessary.
In the philosophic debates for example, it is particularly stupid to laud the time : "the future is the time's work", "the creative time", "time is a great sculptor" …

As for the wave function imagined by the physicists, recognised as the one who integrates the quantum events in the time,
we repeat it again,
it is not an operator who is able to recognize, judge, .... , do.

How, besides, can we explain that ceaselessly we live with the recollection (with the past) and looking forward to the future,
while knowing that the life is in the present moment,
a moment which has no duration ?

Blaise Pascal gave two reasons :

"If the present moment displeases us we take refuge in past and in future, if he satisfies us we shun it because we know that happiness does not last.".
But it is not so simple.

Why, for example, when we feel nothing with the body, when we observe no excitement, we have consciousness of time which is passing, of durations which have passed ?

Fortunately, henceforth the neurobiology and introspection enable answers to this very old interrogation.
Thus, we know that connections between the neurons (billions) are ceaselessly reorganized so that the sensorial perceptions can be interpreted (length of these connections is estimated by millions of kilometres),
Thus, we know that connections between the neurons (billions) are ceaselessly reorganized so that the sensorial perceptions can be interpreted,
a reorganization which enables among other, creation of virtual images which are in the abstraction’s domain, and which are our references.

Besides, so that these virtualities are coherent and realistic, it is important that they integrate the chronologies of our environment.

Who can lead these processes ?
Doubtless, it's a creative entity paradoxically away from the phenomena and implicated in them,
an entity who is master of the time and who, by mysterious internal voices and biological clocks, informs the I (ego, spirit) in whom she recognizes herself, of the time which passes.
So many facts which incite to recognizing in all being, of two identities :
-  the one physical, expressed by the body,
- the other one spiritual, which give evidence that during existence, we have already "one foot" in timelessness, in eternity.


But then, what can we say of eternity?, of which we have presentiment.
And, interrogation of common sense :
the eternity, can it "exist" without be associated to reality ?
Evidently no.
