Eternalism

Eternalism is, speaking broadly, a philosophy that argues that time is just another dimension, and so everything in time has happened - past, present, and future. However, since we are in just one point in time (which is our present), we can't see other points (past or future). You can read more about eternalism right here.

The following text, from the Wikipedia link above, made me think:

"Eternalism is a major theme in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The Tralfamadorians, an alien species in the novel, have a four-dimensional sight and can therefore see all points in time simultaneously. They explain that since all moments exist simultaneously, everyone is always alive. The hero, Billy Pilgrim, lives his life out of sequence, which, among other things, means that his point of death occurs at a random point in his life rather than at the end of it."
I'll leave you with eternalism to think about, and music: Eternal, by Above & Beyond. Although they mainly produce trance music, this final track from their 2011 album, Group Therapy, is beautiful. It reminds me of rising suns and resting souls.

P.S. Soon, I will be sharing my favorite album art with you.
