Put more simply, TIME is a mental construct with an illusion of linearity.
Time is actually always, never, AND forever.
Every so often we catch a glimpse of the "future", "past", and present all at the same time.
Exactly right. Time is just an illusion. Past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. What we perceive as time is simply us moving through the simulation. In reality everything that will ever happen has already happen and is currently happening. As well as everything that has ever happened. We are living every moment in our lives simultaneously at all times.
