Body as Record of Past

Some have observed that in order for an object to move, space and time have to exist.

This is true. Bear in mind that space and matter are opposites. Matter marks the border of space just as space marks the border of matter. Space is the absence of matter. Matter is at one end of the scale of solidity with space at the other extreme. So while matter is modeled by a single sphere, space requires a more complex arrangement. As the progression begins from single sphere, it is necessary to leave a complete examination of space for a later stage of the presentation.

Which brings us to time. Yes, in order for an object to move, space and time have to exist. But for a single sphere in an apparently limitless void only one aspect of time is required. The past. That sphere has a past.

Let us continue. A single sphere surrounded by the void, alone and at rest. But then a second sphere enters the picture. The two spheres approach one another until they make contact. Smash! Worlds in collision. Energy is released. The event is recorded in the crust of both spheres. At that moment of impact the spheres entered the present.

Consider your own body. Every scar a frozen energy event.

Your body is a record of your past, while your perceptions bring you into the present.

A tap upon your shoulder, the warmth of the sun shining on your skin. Both are special case examples of the generalized principle embodied by the two body model. The tap on your shoulder involved two bodies coming in contact resulting in an exchange of energy causing the tappee to become aware of the tapper. A photon shoots forth from the Sun flying outward at the speed of light until it makes contact with the surface of your skin causing an exchange of energy that is experienced as warmth when combined with the billions of other photons also engaged in this dual body interaction.

Duality results in awareness. The perceiver and the perceived. You experience perceptions as occurring in the present, now. Your body is a recording of the experiences it has undergone in its past.
