Chronology - Tumblr Posts

The word and concept(s) of "time", of any degree, is an idea and language to facilitate an assimilation to that illusion.

⏳🕰️⏳🕰️⏳🕰️⏳🕰️⏳

The concept of time and chronology, when applied and assimilated as a cosmo existence, law and reality, diminishes the actual endless force activities of consciousness, shrouding it in a realm of illusions with a ship to nowhere. ⌛⌛⌛⌛

Chronologization!

In accordance to my nonhuman existence, my psychic-Being has used this body to observe and scrutinize the whole concept of chronological time.

So, from a nonhuman's observation, and since my Being too is without the concept of time in space, IT has no other observation then that the "time" that the human experiences (whether it be psychologically, scientifically, metaphysically, philosophically, astronomically, in physics, and/or astrologically,) "time" is nothing more but a concept...

...a concept that humans assimilate to accommodate the "presoundness" and "prosoundness" of the mind, in that conceptive perception.

In other words, to put it in layman's terms: "It is consciousness that is fundamental to time, and not time itself".

That is my observation, as a nonhuman that my Being is.

Chronological framework of the Second Trojan War (1193-1184)

A rough chronology of the Second Trojan War, including events leading to it. This will be fleshed out as I develop the biographies of the main characters. Comments & criticism are welcome.

1209 | JUDGMENT OF PARIS on the slopes of Mount Ida. Zeus, impressed by Paris's fairness, sends him Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, for him to judge which is the fairest. Paris chooses Aphrodite, thus gaining the promise of the love of Helen.

1204 | PARIS ABDUCTS HELEN. Paris and Aeneas, with a contingent of men, visit Sparta. Menelaus welcomes him but must leave for Crete for his grandfather King Catreus's funeral. Helen is smitten with love and leaves with Paris, taking her treasury with her. They detour south of Crete, and go to Cyprus and Phoenicia. Menelaus invokes the oath of Tyndareus and summons his allies. Calchas predicts a war with Troy and that Achilles will be needed to win it. Thetis fears for her son's life and hides him in Scyros.

Ajax the greater manages to secure and exploit farmland on the Thracian peninsula for the benefit of the Greeks.
