Let go of your brain.

We can perceive this moment in time, right now. We can also perceive moments in time which are not right now. To do this, use your imagination and explore your memories or fantasies. Therefore, there are many moments in time. However, it seems like only one moment in time is experienced simultaneously; this is the illusion.



This doesn't male much sense to me. Isn't the memory (1) just a record of some other moments with our senses and not the real moments and (2)often false?


Memory is not just of senses, for example we remember our thoughts. Our understanding of the current moment is also (in part) a record of our senses, and is also often false.
