I believe that time is constructed from the human mind. It is merely a personal experience of motion in this realm of physical life. I began to question my own thoughts and wondered…what is the point of life if time is truly mind’s illusion? Is there actually no illusion. Is time always there, only convievable to us in our physical form and we truly extend beyond it? Are we at the stage where true knowledge is experiencing the physical and our mind that we struggle to figure out is the base? I’m confused.
I’m not sure whether time actually exists or not. I do know that we are one way beings, and our experience of time is at least partially a result of our neurological and physiological structure.
We are built to experience time the way we do. The very functions of our brain depend on one way fixed time to operate. (I refer to temporal summation.)
I think it would be most fair to say that time influences the mind, and the mind influences at least the perception of time.

time “does” exist for humans because we can see that we have a beginning or end. So for us, it DOES exist.
Does time exist for the universe? I am not sure, but it seems like it does not, since I have no proof of its beginning.
Clocks exist for our human and bureaucratic purposes, however time is an idea beyond our comprehension. Except maybe for Einstein.
Time is simple to understand and it is not an idea. If you understand the photon, you understand time.
