4th Dimension: Arrow of time?

When I was 15 years old, and I had infinite time to talk to friends, I had one day a great insight into the nature of time. That day my friend Italo and I ended up somehow talking about what was time in reality. After thinking deeply on what time was for a while and brainstorming from different angles to try to shed some light, it came right up to us. Time only occurs when there are changes in space (3D world). If all was unchanged time was stopped. Then sooner or later we concluded that time was the 4th dimension as it occurred as an effect of changes happening on the 3rd dimension. For the time being that was enough an explanation and I left it at that.

Time went by but there's always been something bugging me about this 4D. Why is it an arrowed dimension? why can we only go into the future advance one second at a time into the future and not to be able to go in reverse way? Why would this 4D be different than the rest of the dimensions which would allow an object to go in two directions? Or, as it might make more sense, maybe we need to start thinking of the limitation being only in our human mind?

I think for now I just wanted to ask the question ... Where is the arrow limitation? is it in the time dimension itself or is it in our human brain/mind? I could even go further pinpointing the place in our mind where it could be getting lost, could the limitation be in our consciousness only?

My gummy bear

My little 3.5 years old girl is so sweet and sticky that she's just too much and that's why I call her "gummy bear".

Thanks to her I could have an incredible experience that was totally lost back in my very early years of life. This experience is the simple exercise of worry-less all-immersive playing the way only kids can. Holding her hand I could stay on those eternal moments in which we're repeatedly hiding below the bed sheets in order to avoid the big tiger in the outside, and as soon as the tiger was gone an extraterrestrial friend (interestingly enough with a hand like shape) on the outside of our tent would try to establish contact with us until the tiger would show up again and again ...

I even as a kid was the rational type and lost all interest on these kind of games early on. That's specially why this is such a great and enjoyable gift that I can hardly describe but I'll just keep holding on to for as long as I can.

What do you go to meditation class for?

Today my daughter surprised me right before my weekly meditation session. She asked me "what do you go to meditation class for?" and right away proceeded to add "you only need to sit like this (criss crossing her legs) and you put your hands like this, then close your eyes and you go to your happy place inside".

I was really surprised ... she kind of knew what she was talking about. I was curious as to where the happy place inside came from, but the only answer I got was "I just made that up".

Pretty easy and nice way of describing meditation, although obviously it can be much more than that.

New Mysterianism

I came across this philosophy called new mysterianism (this word must be new as the computer auto correct does not even know it).

This phylosophy basically states that some problems can't be explained by the human mind at our current evolutionary stage. One example of such a problem is human consciousness. In this case their thought is that the human mind does not have enough power or intelligence to understand itself.

I personally don't adhere to this thought, I choose a more optimist thought that we can understand our own consciousness, mind and intelligence and even improve our hardware/software/biology as well as produce entities that are more intelligent than ourselves originally were.
