The Nature of Time & Intuition
Timothy Piwonke-Corle, PhD
July 11, 2010
© 2010 Timothy Piwonka-Corle

Did you ever know, just know, something is going to happen. Something wonderful, or perhaps frightening, it could be ‘the last thing anyone would expect’, but every fiber in you body tells you that this is the path your life will take. This feeling is your intuition at work. Pay attention to it. That intuition has its origin in your future.

What do I mean by that statement? Your intuition has its origin in your future. In this short series of sermons I am going to explore the relationship between modern science and our premonitions. I will begin with a discussion about the nature of time, and how it differs from our daily perception of  the flow of time. One startling possibility is that your premonitions may be connected with your actual future. A future that simultaneously co-exists with your past and your present. In this sermon my goal is to show you that both modern physics, and ancient philosophy point to our perception of time as, quoting Einstein “a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
