00:00I want to understand the concept of time travel or timelessness.
00:03Where does the future come from?
00:05The future comes from the choices that you make today, right?
00:08You are there and the material world is there and you are a creature of choice.
00:13Creature of choice everything is deterministic and then life is not worth living.
00:16There is no freedom.
00:17If everything is predetermined, where is the question of freedom then?
00:21And freedom is the highest spiritual ideal.
00:23So you are a conscious person and by definition consciousness is choice,
00:28which means there are an infinite number of futures possible.
00:32If you say you are traveling into the future, which particular future are you traveling into?
00:36So all this time travel is just fantasy,
00:38a nice thing to entertain the mind, there is not much more in it.
