[QUOTE="Deleted member 136, post: 42388, member: 136"] Identity or permanence of yourself in the present is never constant, it is constantly being remanufactured subtly and overtime enormous alterings occur, there is an overwhelming sense of transience an almost unreal feeling to the present in relation to the past and future when scrutinised. Identity is unusual, for instance brain tumours can change a man so can head injuries. To the afflicted they accept their current altered self and have no aggressive recoil to the change, the past them is dead. Its a weird curtain to look behind. This concept is like a train ride where you dreamily look at the view from the window. On the train the future is guaranteed but you are stuck in the present enacting some fated line of actions to fulfil the future, the view in the present moment means something to you but it soon passes and looses much significance, the future is forced to happen and with it a new present and old present moment… I shall now pass the dutchie I feel my stream of consciousness although heavily summarised tackles the concept of the present and time in a concrete way, a prelude.
