The question is:
Who is doing the experiencing?
Yesterday I thought this up and will try to explain it.
If "Now" can be considered eternal, is the state of "now" always where I am currently in?
Then if I remember yesterday, I bring it into the now.
So the life I had up until yesterday was just a story I told myself today.
The deep part of it-
If we are telling (or singing) our stories to god and god can absorb our entire knowledge and experience.
So am I currently existing as myself in my life experience or am I the re-enactment god is experiencing as we tell him the story?
So if we substitue the term god for myself in the now, and my previous knowledge and experience as yesterday, the growth creates a sense of time, although, I needed the sense of time, to measure the growth.
Makes me think of this song, please any help or comments, or anything. Even if you cannot answer the question, or need me to elaborate, I just want to know if this sounds ridiculous.

A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
-rush, freewill
Can we actually write our own scripts and play the part?

And watch it being played?

Imagine a giant multi-dimensional object that includes every possible outcome of any event, be it two rocks colliding in deep space or a choice by sentient beings. Time (let's call it T1) is bound up in that object as an eternal oneness, an eternal NOW. Next, imagine a moving point where a universal consciousness intersects the continuum. The point of intersection creates a second time (T2) where the possibilities in the continuum become actualized. We live in T2, as subsets of the universal consciousness that embodies the continuum.

What else matters but living in the "now". What we were before and may be in the future is irrelevant to now. "Now" should always be the time to do your best and do unto others...
To try to and understand things ethereal like the concept of God and time makes for a big headache. These are things we are incapable of comprehending at this time. You are seeking complicated answers to complicated questions. Truths are simple and uncomplicated, unlike life. We can only do the best we can and help each other. Everything else is irrelevant.

Deep ? NO, not deep. Confused, maybe, but not deep. Ridiculous ? Yes.
We will Experience the Passage of Time. Eternity don't mean the Stopping of Time, Time Continues, but we will not age, we'll be a
Active, Busy People in Eternity. We will be Aware of the Passage of Time.
God also Experiences the Passage of Time, but Because He is Omniscient, His Awareness of the Passage of Time is Complete. He sees Everything from Beginning to End, and from Before there was a Beginning, to After the End.
Our Minds are Finite, His Thoughts are far above our Thoughts, His Ways above our Ways.
Stop trying to be Profound about God, He's got you whooped !

Yes very much. Its not very clear or articulate and it leaves me wondering what do you want to hear. All time is relative to the person experiencing the moment. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all happening at once. We only experience the now because we are living in it. Basically we cannot see the forest because the trees.

god is not bound by time, now, future, past. he knows everything always. he knows everything the moment/before (even this sounds absurd since he is not bound by time) he created them. since all of our communication has "time" stamped in it we cannot even explain what it might be without time. we cannot comprehend a universe without time, cause-effect relationship but that is how He does things.
"your now" can also last forever for an outside observer if you travel at the speed of light while you notice no change. You can also change your concept of "now" by slowing down neural activity for example. There are drugs that change your state of mind. so your question does not have a simple yes/no answer. sorry.

God gives us free will. The decision to choose. Whether you chose to believe in him or not. If you are a Christian, you submit to his will and he will use you. But, I don't think he is just sitting up there playing chess with us humans. I think there are some things that we have to be content not knowing. Especially, because try as we might, we can never come up with the answer.

we are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience not a physical being searching for a spiritual experience. we are trying to gain wisdom and knowledge as we live on this plane of existence. when our spiritual being performs the tasks and duties assigned on this plane of existence we shed our physical bodies freeing our soul and spirit to go to another plane of existence where this process is repeated until we gain enough wisdom and knowledge to return to THE CREATOR OF US ALL.

You need to look into an author named Deepak Chopra.
