Breakdown:

1. Introduction: Time as an Illusion
   • Begin by introducing the idea that while time is experienced, it is mechanically an illusion. It exists as part of our perception, but not in the absolute sense.
   • Pose the central question: If time is an illusion, what contains it? What allows it to exist?
2. Existence as the Foundation
   • Explore the concept that time is not independent but subject to existence. Existence itself is beyond time and is not governed by it.
   • Clarify that the question of “what allows it” is within the realm of existence, but existence itself doesn’t require permission or causality—it simply is.
3. Time is Contained Within Existence, Not Vice Versa
   • Emphasize that time exists within the framework of existence, not the other way around. Time is a construct that operates under the larger umbrella of being.
   • Explain that existence is the primary reality, and everything—including time—functions as a subset within that reality.
4. The Nature of Existence: It Just Is
   • Discuss the self-sufficient nature of existence. It doesn’t need to be allowed or permitted—it simply is by nature.
   • Explore the idea that existence is the foundation that makes all things possible, yet it itself remains beyond the need for explanation.
5. Limits of Language: Linear vs. Absolute
   • Reflect on how discussions about time and existence are limited by linear, space-time language, which is inherently insufficient for describing absolute truths.
   • Mention that while we can discuss symbols or representations of existence, the true nature of it is beyond words and intellectual discourse.
6. Nothing to Discuss: The Paradox of Trying to Explain Existence
   • Dive into the paradox that existence, as the ultimate reality, doesn’t need explanation or discussion—it just is.
   • Acknowledge that while we attempt to grasp and explain existence through language, it remains something that transcends those attempts.
7. Conclusion: Embracing the Mystery of Existence
   • Conclude by encouraging readers to accept that while we can contemplate time, existence, and reality, their true essence transcends human understanding and explanation.
   • Emphasize that existence doesn’t need permission or justification—it simply allows everything to be, including time and our experiences within it.
