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

They cant explain why humans are conscious and other living things are not so deja vu would be even harder to understand. I want to see the future to win the lottery and avoid dangerous situations in life.

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.

I do believe time is an illusion. And people live life at a different speed than others. Which is why you have people who look younger or are more emotionally mature than others. Hence the term "living the fast life". An 10 year old living in the ghetto watching the people around him die, and taking care of his younger siblings, has lived a longer life than a 40 year old woman who has grown up a sheltered rich housewife

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

You can by physically hurting someone, I'm sure.

I've been time traveling since the 9th grade. The way I figure it, time is unchangeable and all time exists at once, so what I do is tell myself that what I perceive as occuring "now" is not my time avatar among the infinite copies of me throughout my matter timeline. I imagine myself as a "future" time avatar and predict what they'll do and before I know it whatever I wanted to escape from has passed and I'm in the body of my "future" self.

Perception is reality brehs

Dogs, whales, chimps aren't conscious?

maybe, who's to say? i always linked it to the concept of perception, like how we perceive passage and change thru a span of time. i think there's truly a way to live your life in a way where you can live it in a blink of an eye, where little to no time seems to have passed yet years might have passed. not purely by "doing" a lot of things, but it could be without doing practically anything. maybe to preserve the spirit of the mind? i also think because of the illusion of time we run the risk of not possibly calculating our positions by the end of a "time span". so, we'd fall short on preparation of our expectations or have none at all. deja vu and things of that nature are more complex to me. the only excuse i could have is that we do have ability to see into our futures and we're always making mental "calculations" as to where we might end up. sometimes we hit them, other times we don't.

The weirdest deja vu is when you have seen a situation happen literally and feel like you've lived through it literally and then do something different to get another outcome. I don't mean it in the logical do x and y will happen so let me try something different but literally to feel like you have lived through an x to y scenario, same colour, same detail, same words but think no, that's not for me let me do something different this time...it's creepy but cool.

I do get that sometimes.

It's been a minute since my last deja vu.
maybe it means i wont be here for too long

Last time it happened to me I had spent a few days prior trying to remember when that situation happened, started to think I had imaged it so when it was actually happening I was like shyt I've seen this before!

I think with me, most times I see things/places while I'm either sleeping or meditating...then the day I experience it, it will just hit me that I've seen this before somewhere. It's crazy, though.
