The Beginning of Time

Chaos is the indescribable, its properties that of ‘Being’, the primal ‘IS’-ness’ that holds all.

Time is a thread in a ball of concepts whose beginning and ends are hidden in the ‘IS-ness’ of Chaos.

In Chaos there is no ‘before’ or ‘after’ nor is there ‘during’ or ‘while’ or ‘then’. Yet it is these aspects which help define time as it came out of Chaos bundled amidst mass and space and a myriad of other concepts, all inter-twined in the conceptual ball we call the Big Bang.

So ingrained in the Big Bang is time that to remove it means our form of Universe is Chaos and mankind is inconceivable. Time is an indispensable conception of the Big Bang and it is not alone. Another is the continuum that unites the Big Bang with Chaos and which provides the platform for what then follows.

It is only at the Big Bang that mankind can first trace time’s presence. There will be other forms of time but they come later. The concept of time didn’t create anything nor make it perceptible but it was there uniting the continuum that then flowed. And the universe was indistinguishable from Chaos until the Big Bang because without time no act of conception exists only the ‘IS-ness’ of Chaos. And without appropriate conception concepts lie dormant in chaos.  Even after time separated the Universe from the ‘Is-ness’ of Chaos perception was long absent, awareness too. A new ‘IS-ness’ persisted while the continuum of the universe created a bed in which time has meaning.
