I don't visit this board but I was reading the sacred and the profane and it says that Jews/Christians gave the west linear time? Did this result in modern consciousness? What books can I read to learn more about this?
Bump because I find the topic interesting
>>41081647With a few exceptions (e.g. Jung), I would avoid anything written by 'social scientists' on spiritual subjects as they generally try to reduce everything to human social dynamics.

>>41083121>avoid books from insert the blankI don’t follow generalized advice
>>41081647>it says that Jews/Christians gave the west linear timeWell thats pretty fucking retarded but you read whatever you want i guess
>>41083245I don't know who else to ask but chatgpt supports the conclusion (if that means anything, probably not). There are key differences between how pre christian tribes thought of time as a cyclical re-enactment of their personal origins/cosmogony and how the jew/christian used divine events to mark time as linear. My question is if modern consciousness could be a by product of 'orientation' introduced by linear measurement of time.
>>41084177nah, that's all bullshit
>>41084199and yet we measure time as a linear model applying it to everyone now. This was what the jews were doing until it was secularized from supposed divine event as markers of time/history
>>41084211Time is an illusion built into the human psyche. Cultural differences are blown out of proportion by pseudoscientists.
>>41084211Ring Ring Dr Strange is calling over usage of word "supposed" when in reality every technological developed country is using linear time, and by the way you can't prove that anyone is using an alternative timing. the world is entirely global now because of your computer and there is no such thing as a time that isn't linear because ding ding ding we all have an iPhone. How do you check your bank account man? Are you really homeless? supposed is a strong word when you know it's reality. If you can figure out how to seperate yourself from time you'd better become a demon because its reality. In reality time is a human construct but you will still be affected by it linearly. If there were a non linear time you probably wouldn't even exist
>>41084284>If there were a non linear time you probably wouldn't even existas modern consciousness probably not. We use linear time now but its origins are Jewish/religious.
>>41084177Dumb shitbird.
