My questions

[Agartha]

1) Whilst thinking, I noticed a few things regarding language and time. Perhaps this has been asked and discussed before, but I haven’t come across it. The use of the present tense in Turkish and the present tense suffix in English are perceptually different. In Turkish, it conveys both the present moment and refers to the action in general. In English, however, it refers to things happening in the very moment, in the flow of the present. That is my understanding. Those who know English well will understand what I mean and correct me if I’m wrong. When I discussed this with an AI, it backed me up. If you’re curious, I can elaborate further. How can we use this aspect of our language correctly and establish it as an instantaneous creation?


2) If energy moves only in relation to the present moment and time is not linear, is only the ‘now’ real? If the universe does not know linear time but only perceives the ‘now’, and if there is no such thing as linear time, then this is merely a concept our minds have invented to define time. After all, we are always experiencing the present. This situation raises certain questions. Can the present be bent? Is it perceived differently in every place, as in general relativity? Were the ancient philosophers referring to this when they said ‘everything flows’?

3) When we use the term ‘permanent’ whilst making an affirmation based on the present, are we not stepping outside the present?

You seem to be confused about small details that are not really important. Do not worry about it.

These may be minor details, but they’re not insignificant. I’m not worried, I’m just curious.
I’m particularly curious by nature. If you know the answer or have any comments, please do share them.

By your perception of it wouldn't permanent directly translate to mean an 'eternal now'?

And what would you consider 'important' in this context?

When you look at it that way, it actually is the case.

If you are talking about what would or would not be effective for a magical working, you are overthinking things. You are overthinking about this word "present" and are becoming confused in a way that is not productive. The idea for the affirmations is to put the energy into action. If you say "the energy will do this." When will it do that? Is the energy sitting around doing nothing, and then one day in the future it will start working? So the idea is to say "The energy is doing this." in the present tense so that the energy is immediately getting to work and doing what it should be doing.

When you say something is done permanently, it is what it sounds like. It is done permanently. It will not be undone in the future. Yes, the future exists.

My questions aren’t being fully understood because of the language barrier. This is partly due to translation errors and partly because the questions I’m asking require a certain level of linguistic knowledge. In Turkish, the present tense suffix ‘yor’ doesn’t just cover the present tense; it also covers the general present and habitual actions. But you’re using ‘ing’, and that only covers what’s happening right at this very moment. This isn’t a problem for you. But if we’re using the present tense suffix and the general tense crosses our minds, why shouldn’t that have an effect? I only realised this much later, and at that moment, it seemed more logical to focus solely on the present. I just wanted to learn the nuances of this. I’m not a paranoid person who gets hung up on details.
We don’t say “energy does this” verbally. We say “energy is doing this”, but in our Turkish language, this also means “energy does this”. We need to mentally code this distinction as simply “energy is doing this”. However, since this is ingrained in our language and a habit, it’s a difficult thing to do, and I’ve been asking from the very beginning how we can do this effectively.

Also, a sentence I thought I’d written hasn’t been conveyed properly. I meant to say that I’m particularly curious about knowledge.

I’m not just speculating; I’m simply looking for an answer. It’s not something I’ve been thinking about non-stop all day and night.

Moreover, why does energy perceive only the present moment? That’s another question of mine.

As for time, what I’m actually trying to say is: if time isn’t linear, as is claimed, does this have any bearing on the fact that energy perceives only the present moment?

I find the differences in meaning between the languages intriguing, as the descriptions of "actions" and "things happening" strike me as so similar.

I believe past, present and future all correlate to one another. Quite possibly where "flow" together or from one to another occurs?

While we live in the now, we must also recognize what is over, what we still hold onto, what we are walking towards honestly, and where we are currently.

Lastly, using the term "permanent", based on the present, doesn't always make it so, sometimes. I know that sounds vague, i just know from experience things that seemed so permanent at the time quickly changed, once I got new information.

It is not a problem. You really are worried about nothing. It does not matter if there is some small differences between different languages. What matters is your intentions. And what is harmful and can make a magical working fail is having doubts and worrying about insignificant things.
