BiTemporalcycle

So while in the mist of some small talk with a friend of mine, he mentioned something about how at the end of the day when you fall asleep "it all' melts away and the next day is a fresh start. a common paradigm on all accounts but it got me thinking about how is it that we view the temporal landscape that we inhabit. That's pretty heady i must say even for me, temporal landscape...but the way i see it, we view it in a sort of dichotomy, there's day and night. Ignoring the images yin and yang and human dualism for now. Its kind of weird, we exist not in a constant flow of time but of segmented realities that all pretty much adhere to the same rules of time as the one previous. Almost as if we are viewing our temporal landscape as the blink of a strobe, we're constantly moving throughout the year but we only make visual movements during the day so lets say 360 flashes of the strobe equals one year, we do all these things over the course of the strobes and we move someplace else and it all sort of makes sense. What if someone turned the light on in our temporal landscape and for the entire 360 strobes you were aware off all the movements you were making? would we get further? would we still only move for half the time? i suppose it doesn't quite work the same way. Our temporal reality is like this for a reason, we need to sleep and that is essentially what causes this temporal strobe light. But we can peek around this sometimes, pull an all nighter or try not sleeping for 48 hours and this illusion so easily washes away. Instead of the phrase "oh i did that yesterday" you say "oh i did that 20 hours ago" or something like that.
The ideas of human duality and yin and yang and eternal balance peer up and nod their respective heads at me when i start going on like this, and i think its only right to touch upon them just briefly. I would not call myself a Buddhist at all but its a given to me that we are in a constant balancing act, emotionally, physically, mentally, balancing, always. And it's no surprise that my train of thought lead to this idea, but i don't think that this particular example of temporal dualism arrives at the macro-idea of balancing entirely. While the mechanisms that work to maintain homeostasis(further balancing) within our body need the time when we're sleeping to do whatever it is that they do, i don't really care to factor them in right now. Mostly because they do not effect our temporal diorama directly only in that it requires us to sleep. which in turn causes this start-stop reality that              we live in.

Anyway i don't have much else to say, just that its weird how normal this is...
or something...

See you down the Road.
