There are other ideas about time. In all the above cases, time is linear and irreversible; time does not depend on whether it is moving, and on what position a person occupies relative to this movement: whether he is looking in the direction of movement (the future is ahead) or facing the past. Time appears as an arrow shot from the past, crossing the present and flying into the future. This linear idea of time is reflected in the category of grammatical time. In languages where such a category exists, every event that is spoken about is localized in time: it can belong to the present (the time of utterance), the past or the future.
The category of time characterizes the temporal localization of some fact in relation to the speech act (i.e. in relation to ‘now’) in terms of location on the time axis. Therefore, grammatical tense is a shift category. Ideally, the category of time includes three meanings: the present (the fact coincides in time with the moment of speech), the past (the fact precedes the moment of speech) and the future (the fact follows in time the moment of speech). A similar system is typical, for example, for Russian and French languages(and also for most
modern Indo-European languages, Tungus-Manchu, Bantu languages, etc.). In many languages, the system of grammatical tenses turns out to be two-term. They may vary past And unpast time (for example, Japanese) or future And non-future(e.g. Takelma language) 1 .
Meanwhile, the category of grammatical tense does not exist in all languages. This fact once surprised B. Whorf (for more details, see paragraph 3.1). Whorf's native language was English - a language where the category of time is expressed very consistently. However, for many languages it is not the time of action that is important, i.e. When something happened (relative to the moment of speech or relative to some other moment), and that How this action took place, i.e. expression of grammatical kind(aspect). The type indicates the nature of the action (finished/unfinished (perfective/imperfective); given in development (progressive); constantly repeated (iterative); ordinary (habitualis), etc.).
As V. A. Plungyan points out, “asnectual categories determine the situation from the point of view the nature of its course over time(duration, repeatability, presence of result, etc.). Unlike the categories of time and taxis, aspect is in no way connected with a “reference point” external to a given situation (be it the moment of speech or some arbitrary situation); it characterizes the situation “from the inside” (and in its dynamics).”
In most languages of the world, tense, aspectual and modal meanings are conveyed cumulatively, i.e. in each verb form all three meanings are present, with some meanings being leading. In modern European languages, the basic meaning of many verb forms is tense. However, for example, a group of times English language, which in school grammar is called Continuous, expresses the form - progressive(action in its deployment), although this certainly requires an indication of time, i.e. when exactly the action took place: in the present, past or future.
Many African languages also have progressives, but they often do not indicate when the corresponding action took place: in the present, past or future, which is usually clear from the context. Therefore, in such languages there is no, for example, agreement of tenses. A similar primacy of aspect expression over time expression is characteristic of many Amerindian, African and other languages. Slavic languages are also more aspect-oriented than, say, Germanic or Romance languages.
The primacy of specific meanings over temporal ones is perhaps associated with ideas about cyclicality of time. If we compared linear time to the flight of an arrow, then cyclic time can be likened to the circular motion of a wheel or the rhythmic oscillation of a pendulum; this, in the words of V. B. Kasevich, is “periodicity, reproduction of certain structures, features, phenomena.” Indeed, time often appears to us in the form of endless repetitions: the metronome, the ticking of a clock, our own pulse, the passage of days and weeks, the change of seasons. There is always something that repeats: winter - summer, day - night, high tide - low tide, weekdays - holidays, Christmas - Easter. A person, like any living creature, is born, grows up, grows old and dies. For every person, his life time is linear. However, for the community as a whole, a person’s life path “birth - initiation - wedding - funeral” is the same constantly repeating events.
For a farmer or herder, time is primarily cyclical, since their life is closely connected with the cycles of nature. In the minds of a modern city dweller, who is only indirectly connected with nature, a linear idea of time prevails, although a cyclical one also persists (cf.: The heating season has crept up again unnoticed). Alternate working week and weekends, academic semesters and holidays, follow each other calendar holidays. Time begins to be perceived as leaves of a school diary or a business diary.
In general, however, the developed idea of linear time is more compatible with modern industrial society, where the sense of history is well established and technological and social change is rapid and in some respects cumulative, Kearney argues. This idea “often goes well with the desire for progress. People always remember that things will never be the same again. In addition, a modern city is not so dependent on the seasons and nature. Instead of the phases of the moon and stars, the seasonal changes of animals and the growth of plants, he focuses on clocks, calendars and books of history, which testify to the progressive movement of time. The indoor space does not change with the climate. A lot of people don’t know what phase of the moon is now and which side the sun rises from.”
The original one, apparently, was a cyclical idea of time. This is due to the absence in many languages of a word meaning ‘time’ and a corresponding distinct concept. The position of time as a cyclical movement practically eliminates the question of its direction, points out V. B. Kasevich; after all, when moving in a circle, one can speak about the beginning only with a certain degree of convention.
More about this
This is evidenced by the etymology of words with the meaning ‘time’ in many languages (where such a word exists). For example, English time goes back to Old English tfma, which, in turn, is etymologically related to Old English. tfd which meant not only ‘time’, but also ‘high tide’ and ‘low tide’ (modern. tide). Russian word time borrowed from Church Slavonic instead of *time. This word is related to the ancient Indian vartma‘rut, pothole, gutter’; The verb is also associated with the same root twirl.
Gradually the idea of linear time emerged. G. S. Knabe, in a book on the history of culture, writes: “In Rome there were two ideas about time - mythological and historical, the relationship between which was far from simple”; for the ancient Romans, mythological time “was not so much time as the absence of time, which precisely by this absence, being outside of change, movement, development, generally outside of accidents, characterized a special, motionless and valuable state of reality” 1 .
The idea of the progressive linear movement of time, which had its beginning and will have an end, is associated with the Old Testament tradition. The ancient Jews created an image of time that was unusual for the mythologies of that era, and Christianity adopted this idea. Christians count time from the birth of Christ: "This view differs significantly from the religion of, say, the ancient Greeks, who did not need to precisely determine the sequence of events in their history and religion," notes Kearney.
A. Ya. Gurevich, a researcher of the culture of the Middle Ages, points out: “The idea of time as a repeating cycle was preserved in the Middle Ages also in the popular image of the wheel of fate... Gnostic sects adhered to the Pythagorean doctrine of the transmigration of souls and circular time until the 7th century. The idea of cyclical time was repeatedly revived in the Middle Ages under the influence of Neoplatonism and Averroism."
Only in modern times did the idea of linear and irreversible time finally win in scientific thinking. The laws of universal gravitation and classical mechanics of Isaac Newton and the theory of evolution of Charles Darwin are based on the idea of linear time. Only in Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity time is neither circular nor linear, but part of the space-time continuum.
Kearney M. World view. R. 99.Cyclic and linear time
Westerners think of humanity's past as a straight line of time. The great 19th-century German statesman Otto von Bismarck called this the “stream of time,” along which all communities of people experience both good and bad times. The analogy is appropriate if we consider time in a linear way, as archaeologists do. They use a variety of methods to date thousands of years into the distant past.
Linear extrapolation from the past is not the only way to understand ancient times. Many societies, both ancient and modern, conceive of time as a cyclical phenomenon or sometimes as a combination of the linear and the cyclical. The cyclical approach is associated with the change of seasons and the passage of celestial bodies, with the close relationship that existed between peoples who feed on the gifts of nature, and farmers and their environment. It is also based on the eternal realities of human life: conception, birth, life, growing up and death. The endless repetition of planting and harvesting times, the migration of animals or the spawning of fish, the ripening of wild fruits - all this rules the existence of man. The ancient Maya developed a complex cyclical calendar in which the secular and religious calendars interacted to mark the passage of the seasons and regulate religious practices (Coe, 2002; Schele and Friedel, 1990).
DISCOVERIES
HUMAN SACRIFICE IN TEOTIHUACAN, MEXICO, 1998
The city of Teotihuacan grew on the edge of the Valley of Mexico from many small villages and by 650 AD. e. turned into big city with a population of more than 200,000 inhabitants (see Fig. 15.12). The core of the city was a large ceremonial complex dominated by the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, but very little is known about the complex's builders or the rituals performed there. In 1998, a team of American and Mexican archaeologists led by Saburo Sugiyama excavated at the very center of the Pyramid of the Moon and discovered four separating layers and a human burial dating back to 150 AD. e. The grave contained more than 150 artifacts arranged around the skeleton of a man. These included clay vessels, jadeite artifacts, figurines, thin obsidian blades, and jadeite ear ornaments. Nearby were the skeletons of several hawks and a jaguar, possibly buried alive in their cages.
At first, Sugiyama and his colleagues thought that they had opened the burial of a noble person. But his hands were tied behind his back, and he lay on the edge of what was obviously a much larger burial complex. Archaeologists believe that this is a sacrificial offering. Sugiyama believes that more burials will be discovered deeper in the pyramid, possibly the burial monument of one of the rulers of Teotihuacan. Such a discovery would be extremely important, since we know nothing about the powerful rulers of this great city.
But one should not conclude from this that societies with a cyclical understanding of time also did not have linear chronologies. The famous Mayan "long count" was a linear chronology that formed an integral part of the close relationship between Mayan rulers and the cosmos. The ancient Egyptians developed linear chronology for administrative purposes. But in general, societies turned to linear chronologies when they were needed. For example, Western societies use linear time to regulate prayer times, control the workday, and schedule airplanes. It is difficult to generalize, but societies with centralized political systems tend to use the reign of kings as milestones on a linear time scale (Figure 7.1).

“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun,” this is Ecclesiastes - one of the books of the Old Testament of the Bible.
“Everything flows, everything changes. You cannot enter the same river twice,” this is the Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
Here we see two ideas about time. In one case, time is represented as a repeating process: what has been, will be. In the second case, time is presented as a unique process: everything changes. AND artistic images, which the authors of the statements resort to, they are very characteristic. One thinker mentions the sun, which goes around in a circle, the second speaks of a river that flows from one place to another. People probably received their first ideas about time thanks to cyclical, repeating processes. Change of day and night, change of phases of the moon, change of seasons. Such processes led people to think that everything was repeating itself. At the same time, people also noticed processes that were irreversible. You can make a stick out of a Christmas tree, but you can’t make a Christmas tree out of a stick; you can cook porridge out of cereal, but it’s impossible to make cereal out of porridge. But, perhaps, the main irreversible process through which people learned the direction of time was human life. A person was born, grew up, matured, grew old and died. And it never happened again.
At the same time, the conditions in which a person lived did not change throughout his life. A person’s way of life, the way of life surrounding him, the social structure - all this remained unchanged. Moreover, from older comrades, a person learned that before him, living conditions and social structure were the same during his lifetime. It is this time without time, prehistoric time, that Ecclesiastes speaks of. The world of Ecclesiastes was a world of cyclical time, in which cyclical processes predominated. “A race goes away and a race comes, but the Earth remains forever,” the book of Ecclesiastes also says.
And here is Heraclitus, who says the exact opposite. How did the world of Heraclitus differ from the world of Ecclesiastes? Heraclitus is the 5th century BC, this is the dawn of classical Greece - a time of great changes, a time of perhaps the most rapid development of science, technology, and after them the way of life of people, their social relations throughout ancient history. This is no longer prehistoric time, not a time without times, this is already history.
The Greeks do not just observe the change of day and night, the movement of the planets, the Greeks set the starting point of their historical time. They count down the time from the first Olympics. Not only does one year follow another, but each year receives its own serial number. This in itself suggests that one year is not like another; if the same thing happened every year, then there would be no need to give numbers to the years.
After all, what is a year from the point of view of physics? Everyone knows that a year is the time during which the Earth makes one revolution around the Sun. But people did not always know that the Earth revolves around the Sun; Copernicus was the first to talk about this, and the concept of a year existed hundreds and even thousands of years before him. It turns out that people did not know that the Earth revolves around the Sun, but they could calculate the time of this rotation with an accuracy of up to a minute. This is such a paradox.
So what did people think then, if not the time of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun? People considered the frequency of the spring equinox. People noticed that vernal equinox repeats every 365 days. Then they calculated more precisely, it turned out to be 365 days and a quarter. This has been the year.
The concept of the year has always been associated with seasonality. This was especially important for those peoples who were engaged in agriculture, because they needed to know when to sow and when to harvest. IN ancient Rus' the year was called that way - summer, that is, the year was directly associated with the season when field work took place. And winter was timelessness. We still say: “How old are you?” Hence the chronicles, books that described the main events of the year. We must assume that all the main events took place in the summer.
In Europe, where seasonality is not as pronounced as here, such books were called chronicles, from the Greek word “chronos” - time. In southern countries where it's summer all year round, such books were not written at all in ancient times. Interestingly, many African and other tribes measured time not in years, but in months, since the inhabitants of the southern countries did not observe the change of seasons, but they could observe the change in the phases of the moon.
In general, the calendar it uses says a lot about a civilization. Let's say chinese calendar, there is no numbering as such, there are names: the year of the horse, the year of the rat, the year of the dragon - 12 names in total. And 5 elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Total - 60 years, each year with its own name. Then the cycle repeats. This is a cyclical idea of time.
At the same time, Western calendars, starting with Greek, have some kind of starting point from which numbering begins. For the Greeks, the starting point was the first Olympic Games, for the Romans - the founding of Rome, in medieval Europe they chose the date of the birth of Christ as the starting point. But in Rus', until Peter I, years were counted from the creation of the world. If we had preserved that calendar, then now it would be 7522 years from the creation of the world.
It is clear that all these dates were conditional and may not reflect real events; something else is important here. Calendars without numbering of years are an understanding of time according to Ecclesiastes: “What has been, that will be,” and calendars with numbering are an understanding of time according to Heraclitus: “You cannot step into the same river twice.”
The comparison “time is a river” is a very common metaphor. The phrase itself: “time flows” says a lot. Using the example of a river, one can clearly show how the future becomes the past. Imagine that we are standing on a bridge over a river and watching a boat floating downstream. We noticed her from afar and watched as she approached us. For now it is in the future, but it is getting closer and closer. And then the moment comes when she floats directly below us - this is the real thing. And now she is already behind us, and she is carried away from us further and further - she goes into the past.
It's already fifteen minutes to three
Time is like a river - you can’t turn it back
Try it at least once, look around and look
What did you manage, what did you do, and who is happy about it?
(Konstantin Kinchev)
You can't turn back. Probably, starting with Heraclitus, people have thought about this question: is it possible to turn back the river of time? Or is it possible to come up with a way to travel through time as freely as along an ordinary river? Already in later times, close to us, this idea grew into the idea of creating a time machine - an apparatus with the help of which one can travel in time, both to the future and to the past.
So far, people don’t even theoretically know how to do this? Time travel is beyond the realm of possibility. But we have already looked into the impossible, let’s look there again. We’ll just do this not now, but in the near future.

What is cyclic time
IN lately one feels how life becomes voluminous - time, actions, efforts.
Each action launches several new possibilities, and they diverge with new actions in time - in the future, past, present and in life in general.
It’s as if you press a button, and five to ten more wires go from it, which in turn lead to new buttons, which are also launched when you pressed the original one.
All this creates a feeling infinite volumetric time.
In my life, the cyclical movement of time is manifested in the fact that I study in parallel a large number affairs, and at the same time the focus does not dissipate, but on the contrary, all efforts lead to one point.
Until recently, I would have scolded myself for not being able to concentrate in one direction.
And now I accept this property of mine and thank you for the fact that I can build and develop it.
These are signs of a transition from the third dimension to the fourth and higher, signs of the emergence of nonlinearity in life, cyclic time, which we will talk about next.
Lauren Gorgo on new times
Past, present and future officially united in single continuum, making it more practically impossible to separate them from within that context.
Parallel timelines are now becoming clearer and more noticeable, which means we have the opportunity to more consciously switch or “jump” from one to another, changing the course of the past from the present moment.
This is a learning curve, and if you are familiar with what I'm talking about, know that although it takes some getting used to, it is no longer unusual to "run" another timeline or reality program within yourself.
Or even joining an alternate timeline to deliberately redirect or change events to produce results that suit us better.
Time now becomes a function of our Heart, and as we learn to work with it in this new and higher way, we are literally rewriting human history to include the Truth of our existence.

Differences between linear and nonlinear time
Souls on planet Earth live in two different spheres at the same time - in the sphere of linear time, to which we are all accustomed, and in the sphere of non-linear (cyclical) time, to which many people are now moving.
Linear time is the past, present and future, which occur sequentially one after another.
When you become attuned to cyclical time, you begin to see that you can manage time.
Have you noticed when you are in a hurry and nervous - time flies by instantly and you don’t get anything done?
And when you are in a calm, harmonious state, time slows down.
In the same amount of time, if you slow down, you will get much more done than if you were rushing and worrying.
Time directly depends on your inner feeling.
Below in the infographic you will see the differences between linear and nonlinear time.
You can consciously move from one time to another, from linear to cyclical.
To adjust to the new times, I suggest you go through the following 5 steps.
How to tune into the cyclical movement of time
Step 1: Thank Time
We are all rich. We don't need to earn our time. It belongs to us by right of birth on planet Earth.
We ourselves set priorities on what we will spend it on.
If a person has left the consciousness of the victim and is confident that he himself decides how to live and what to do, a limitless field of possibilities opens up for him.
Stop for a minute feel your time field.
Feel the energy of time, thank it from the bottom of your heart for what it is, for what allows you to move forward and look back.
Thank time - as a substance, energy, matter that is always with us, and which accompanies us in development and movement.
Be filled with gratitude, feel time as your friend and ally, as a source of abundance.
Think about how a few seconds with your loved one fills you with happiness for a long time.
A few minutes in meditation calms us down for many hours; minutes of doing something we love turns us into a Master.
The formula “the more you give, the more you receive” also applies to time.
The more you spend it on what interests you, what lights you up and warms you up, the more seconds, minutes, hours you live consciously, understanding and accepting what is happening at this very moment, the more time expands.
You no longer think that there is no possibility, but try to “shove in the impossible” - ten minutes here, half an hour there, you look - and you’ve already had a decent amount of time, and experience has been gained, and knowledge has been mastered.
Determine which qualities are more pronounced in you, and what rhythm of life gives drive and a feeling of flow.
Accept your characteristics, understand that each person is unique and lives in his own rhythm.
Stop punishing yourself for falling into a stupor in moments of crisis or for not being able to complete the work you started.
This is your life, these are your lessons, you have the right!
Step 5. Collect the fragments of your Self
If you understand and realize that you are a multidimensional being living in different realities at the same time, you will understand that at every moment you are not alone.
You always have companions and assistants - those versions of you who have already been through the situation in which you may be now.
You can always consult them or simply be filled with light, radiance, confidence and unconditional love emanating from your advanced version.
Perhaps now you lack the determination to open your own business or the courage to tell someone the truth.
We live in interesting period when time itself changes before our eyes.
Life provides an opportunity to accept the past, heal timelines, and face the future.
To be fulfilled, conscious, happy, to gain the ability to perceive lessons as lessons, and not as punishment or a mistake of fate.
A conscious attitude towards time will lead you to abundance and acceptance of your power, to changing your relationship with your body and age, to liberation from problems that you may have considered insoluble for a long time.
Therefore, I sincerely wish you to tune in to the new time and accept its gifts!

Thank time We are all rich. We don't need to earn our time. It belongs to us by right of birth on planet Earth. We ourselves set priorities on what we will spend it on. If a person has left the consciousness of the victim and is confident that he himself decides how to live and what to do, a limitless field of possibilities opens up for him. Stop for a minute, feel your time field. Feel the energy of time, thank it from the bottom of your heart for what it is, for what allows you to move forward and look back. Thank time - as a substance, energy, matter, which is always with us, and which accompanies us in development and movement. Be filled with gratitude, feel time as your friend and ally, as a source of abundance. Think about how a few seconds with your loved one fills you with happiness for a long time. A few minutes in meditation calms us down for many hours; minutes of doing something we love turns us into a Master. 
The formula “the more you give, the more you receive” also applies to time. The more you spend it on what interests you, what lights you up and warms you up, the more seconds, minutes, hours you live consciously, understanding and accepting what is happening at this very moment, the more time expands. You no longer think that there is no possibility, but try to “shove in the impossible” - ten minutes here, half an hour there, you look - and you’ve already had a decent amount of time, and experience has been gained, and knowledge has been mastered. Step 2. Return to the “here and now” Seize the moments when you are in the present time, be present in every moment and breath of your day. Even if you don’t like some situations or seem negative, live with them, don’t run away from them. In such situations, as in shadow reflections, there is a great potential for power, and it is given only to those who are ready to take it. Do things that bring you back to the “now”. Listen to your body when you are sick or playing sports, Listen to your children when they tell you something very important and answer not automatically, but with all your heart, Listen to the birds and admire the trees and sky while walking, Listen to yourself when you don’t like it situation. Don't be afraid to get up and walk out of the meeting room no matter how promising the client seems. Even if these moments are brief at first, they will tune your consciousness and teach it to live in the moment. 
Step 3. Finish unfinished tasks This is the practice suggested by Alena Starovoitova at one of the webinars: “All things that are put on the back burner, on a subtle level, fetter and clutter up the energy. And later they become black holes, sucking energy. Laziness, apathy, and depression can be the result of many unfinished tasks. In the Universe, every phenomenon has its own strict process: beginning, development and completion. We are also included in cosmic rhythms. Every unfinished task is a process of development, which means there is energy there that turns into a funnel. It drains power and blocks access to everything new. It has been noticed in practice that after completing even a few things on the list, lightness appears in the body, and joy, new ideas, plans and opportunities enter life. Therefore, I recommend doing the following from time to time. Write a list of all unfinished tasks, from the most insignificant and simple ones: sew on a button, give away a book you read, write letters to your family, to large and large-scale ones that require a lot of time and effort. Take a day or two to complete all the small tasks. For big ones, write an action plan and real steps towards achieving your plans.” 
Step 4. Accept your differences We are different, including in our relationships with time. There are people-hares who do everything quickly and jump on top. There are snail people crawling on the ground. They notice everything around them and take into account any circumstances. There are sprinters who are good at short races, and there are marathon runners who can endure a long distance and not quit. Barbara Sher in her book “I Refuse to Choose” divides people into scanners and divers. Scanners enjoy the amazing, endless variety around them and can start doing something new every six months. A diver has an inherent curiosity that makes him dive deeply into a subject until his whole life is devoted to it. There are people with rational thinking who benefit from traditional time management in organizing their affairs. And people with irrational thinking, for whom it would be better to use spontaneous planning. Determine which qualities are more pronounced in you, and what rhythm of life gives you drive and a sense of flow. Accept your characteristics, understand that each person is unique and lives in his own rhythm. Stop punishing yourself for falling into a stupor in moments of crisis or for not being able to complete the work you started. This is your life, these are your lessons, you have the right! 
Step 5. Collect the fragments of your Self If you understand and realize that you are a multidimensional being living simultaneously in different realities, you will understand that at every second you are not alone. You always have companions and assistants - those versions of you who have already been through the situation in which you may be now. You can always consult them or simply be filled with the light, radiance, confidence and unconditional love that comes from the advanced version of you. Perhaps now you lack the determination to open your own business or the courage to tell someone the truth. Turning to your future self will resolve your doubts and hesitations. You can go back to the past, heal it and meet your inner child, as well as hear future advice from yourself. 
We live in an interesting period when time itself is changing before our eyes. Life provides an opportunity to accept the past, heal timelines, and face the future. To be fulfilled, conscious, happy, to gain the ability to perceive lessons as lessons, and not as punishment or a mistake of fate. A conscious attitude towards time will lead you to abundance and acceptance of your power, to changing your relationship with your body and age, to liberation from problems that you may have considered insoluble for a long time. Therefore, I sincerely wish you to tune in to the new time and accept its gifts! Dina Utesheva
