Does The Past exist? on 18:35 - Jul 31 with 4089 views | yescomeon | Within the I mind, yes. It may be that the "physical" world exists only within the mind. In that case that would make the 'past' as real as the 'present'. However if time only exits within the mind then there is no past, present or future, only consciousness itself. | ![](/images/avatars/8909.gif) |

Beautiful The past doesn't exist now but it did then. Only then it was the present. So no. Also, there's no such thing as the present. As soon as it's happened it's the past. Which doesn't exist. So really, nothing exists, anywhere, ever. Headf*ck man. I'm in over my head here. I'm out. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

The past doesn't exist as it was only ever the present and the future doesn't exist until it becomes the present. Does that make sense? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yeah, but only because you pretty much repeated what I said. Except that the present doesn't exist either. By the time we've experienced it, it's already the past. Which doesn't exist. Groovy, man. | ![](/images/avatars/8641.gif) |

Does The Past exist? on 19:37 - Jul 31 with 3979 views | jacw | Not the past that we have experienced in my opinion. Say you travel back in time the fact that you are there creates a different past , it's a paradox.

The only thing that the past teaches us is that the past teaches us nothing. So it must exist. Or it doesn't. | ![](/images/avatars/9447.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
