Time

A common thread that binds us all is time.  You know that measured period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues.  We generally experience this common thread as our events succeed one another from past through present to future.  The various languages of the world express this thread in terms of their verbs as "past tense", "present tense", and "future tense".  It is how we experience our "present tense" that more often than not plays the major role in defining our past, and will affect our future.

Now the organic platform allows us to experience this thing called time [in the "present tense"], and can be viewed as follows:
                                                        Input ..... Process .... Output .

Our senses provide the input.    Our central nervous system operates the process.  Our organic platform operates the output.  It is the "process" that analyzes, interprets, judges, and activates a host of internal systems to produce the "output".   Thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and opinions, all influence our ability to act or produce this "output".  Hum... what an important thread is this "time", and our organic platforms experience of it.
