The past is only an abstract thought. It is only in your mind because it has already happened. It is intangible. It cannot be 'held' or 'changed'.
The future is also an abstract thought, it hasn't happened yet. It is only in your mind that it exists. It cannot be 'held', either.
The present is an infinitly small amount of fleeting time between the future and the past. Infinitly small - it really doesn't exist at all.
So time exists in the abstract thinking of your consciousness.
I follow the supersymmetry and string theories that everything is energy - everything.

Well simply yes, in that nothing, including consciousness, would happen without both time and energy. "Happen," would probably not have a meaning without time, neither does "being," or any other verb because verbs denote change or lack of change based on the possibility of change. Energy is difficult to define but seems necessary for any process, as complex as consciousness or as simple as a gas atom bouncing against a wall (kinetic energy). Without it, everything would be cold, dark and static, which would also effectively make time meaningless, since nothing could possibly change. So both energy and time are needed for consciousness. You could say that time and energy are meaningless without a consciousness to experience and measure them; but I don't think that's true. There was obviously time and energy well before consciousness came to be and it was necessarily so. There is an objective physical world. It was here before us and will be here after us.

I read this question twice before I clicked on it. Interesting.
If by connected, you are implying that they are somehow the same entity in some way or another - I'd say no.
But on further reflection, each is dependent on the other. Without energy, there can be no consciousness - and I can't conceive of consciousness without time.
Kind of a symbiotic relationship. Each is dependent on the existence of the other two.
Happy Thanksgiving.

But of course, all of the above was always here and all will always be here. Consciousness controls all energy in the universe, the MOST part being controlled by the CREATOR of biological life. Energy is radiated from the CREATOR, the cold space turns this energy into solid matter. Time cannot be manipulated or cut, you can only play with molecules. Time is reality and existence and consciousness, all are one and they are indestructible.

Well a conscious being requires energy, and moves through time. But consciousness is not a physical property, unlike energy and time.

consciousness is 4th dimensional, and so is time and energy.
