If time is an illusion does it mean we can see our "future"?

[Larry Lobster]

I've been thinking, that explanation for deja vu never made sense. Since we are living the past, present and future at the same time then it means our memories are connected to ourselves in the future. I believe sometimes our brain recognizes future experiences before being aware of what's happening in the present, like a glitch or bug. That would explain deja vu being a glitch, where our future memories became real before the present reality we are living.

You can change your future right now though

Only if you believe in the multiverse theory.

 

[Archangel]

Time is only an illusion to them whom live life bound by it. If ye wouldst live with purpose and with drive, ye shall not be bound by such a force for it wouldst simply be overshadowed by the things that really matter in thy life.

Does that mean their is a universe where you don't exist
I never believed in that

What déjà vu explanation are you talking about? Because the one I read is that your brain does a mistake in analyzing some you're seeing NOW as something that you saw before, it's a simple case of information going through the wrong circuit in the brain. So the "memory" never existed, it's just the brain doing a mistake and misinterpretating info.

Nah, if we are alive that means we exist...

Yup, that explanation doesn't make sense to me. We have to remember people who control information don't want the best for us. They are constantly lying about several topics so i can't trust that info.

All right then.

So what you're saying is that the brain sort of "pre-remembers" something from the future? That's something I could understand, if we consider time is something more circular (as I believe some earlier religions thought)...or even just the sheer power of auto-suggestion. Think of how we tell people to "picture themselves" in the future, our mind is powerful enough to create an image based on sheer imagination. By that same process, it could also create a "false memory", hence a déjà vu

Nah, some deja vu are way too specific, even the power of auto-suggestion wouldn't be enough to create certain situations.

Maybe...memory is such a fickle thing, who knows...I'm not sure if I believe in the "circular time" thing, but I do feel there are some "connections" that exist and that somehow are suppressed or, since they don't "fit" in the time mindframe we're used to, we don't really know how to interpret correctly. Déjà vu, also when you feel someone looking at you...how does that even work? How can one physically feel someone just looking at you? Makes me think there are some connections -wthere it be time or space- that exist, were suppressed but still pop back up every now and then. Déjà vu could be one

Sounds like a theory. Going down that road without concrete proof is just pointless. Why? Because then you can't rely on anything... what's to say the majority of information isn't being received properly? So now you can only rely on corroborated memories?

Hmm...

Me personnaly it's based on articles I've read here and there based on scientific experiments. But we can put in doubt those findings or, even further that those findings themselves are influenced by what we alread (think) we know about the brain and memories.

But one thing that sounded very convincing was how we receive an insane amount of information ALL the time, and that the brain has to select what is relevant/important, and that is the info we are consciously aware of. Like if you're lying in bed you won't really be that aware of the contact between your body and the bed, the sheets etc...because that information isn't that important. On the other hand if you start feeling cold, you will be much more conscious of that. So the brain doesn't treat all the info with the same intensity. Same reason some things you notice whne walking down the street, others you don't. So in that selection some memories get cancelled I guess, and eevry selection process has errors so maybe some info is not perceived correctly and is "assigned" to something it shouldn't have been

can you prove time really exist w/o a clock or watch.... if man was never here, the universe still goes on
