Here is a breakdown of the Vedic perspective on this concept:
1. Simultaneous existence of material time (The "Road") The Dream of Maha-Visnu:
The material creation is often described as a temporary "dreamlike" state of its creator Maha-Visnu. Within this material world, all events—past, present, and future—are seen simultaneously by the Creator, Maha-Visnu because He eternally sees above the movement of material space-time (past, present and future)
The Analogy of a Map:
Just as a person in an airplane can see the entire, already existing road from beginning to end, Maha-Visnu sees the entire timeline of the material universe at once.
The material world is a temporary container made of "matter" that houses the fallen individual jiva-souls (bodily units of living anti-matter) within a temporary material bodily vessel however, the individual jiva-souls originate from their eternal home, the Vaikuntha planets of Lord Visnu and Luxmi, and Radha and Krsna's Abode Goloka-Vrindavana (both living anti-matter):
The material world (mahat-tattva) is a "block" that already contains all possible experiences.
2. The individual jiva-soul's Journey (The "Driver") Eternal jiva-soul:
The individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) are eternal and not originally part of the material energy as explained above.
Passing through Maha-Visnu's temporary material creation:
The individual jiva-souls enter the "dreamland" of material creation and "drives" through it by accepting temporary material bodies, moving from one point to another, just as a car travels along a predetermined roadway.
Linear Experience, Cyclic Reality:
While the cosmic time is actually cyclical (repeating universes), the individual jiva-soul experiences their life as a linear progression (birth to death).
3. The Goal: Breaking the cycle the "Road" is temporary:
While the individual jiva-soul is eternal, the "roadway" (material world) is temporary and subject to decay.
Moving Beyond Time:
The true goal of the individual jiva-soul is to escape the "roadway" of material time (matter), which is part of Maya (illusion) in the material world, and return to the spiritual world (anti-matter), which exists in an "eternal now" free from time and decay.
While some interpretations focus on the simultaneous existence of time, all Vedic traditions agree that the individual jiva soul is distinct from the material bodily vessel or container and is eternal, while time is a limitation in the material world.
The block material universe created by the dreaming Maha-Visnu, contains all possible combinations of material energy —past, present, and future, that are all equally existing as real but temporary in the material world to the individual jiva-souls and.
The movie reel analogy perfectly fits the scientific and philosophical concept of the block material universe:
1. The entire film exists at once:
Just as every frame of a movie exists on the reel simultaneously (whether it is the opening scene or the final credits of film), the Block universe covers your birth, your existence today, and your future existence (death). Just like on a roadway seen from above, one can see its beginning, its middle and its end.
2. The flowing of time where the individual jiva-soul is moving through past, present and future.
The Analogy: The projector only shines light on one frame at a time, creating the illusion of motion.
The Reality: The individual jiva-soul is always existing in "Now," focusing on the single moment ("Now"), creating the feeling of time passing as the individual jiva-soul moves on and through the fabric of material energies past, present and future.
The Implication: The future is not waiting to be created; it's already created, has always existed, fixed and simply waiting for us to catch up to it.
3. This means yesterday is not gone, and tomorrow is not non-existent. They are just different spatial coordinates within the block universe that covers its entire journey through past, present and future.
Is there evidence that some rare individual jiva-souls have viewed the "block material universe" created by Maha-Visnu in its full expression of past, present and future?
Strictly speaking, there is no scientific evidence that any individual jiva-soul embodied in a material bodily vessel, has ever stepped outside of material time to subjectively observe the "block material universe" in its entirety.
The "block material universe" is a legitimate, mathematically elegant model even agreed upon by Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity. However, he only ignorantly sees mundane dead "matter" and not the foundation of matter, which is living "anti-matter," or the individual life force of Krsna and His Visnu-tattva expansions, Siva, and the individual jiva-souls.
Although Albert Einstein also claimed that past, present, and future exist simultaneously in his theory of special relativity.
Here is how different disciplines approach the impossibility of fully perceiving the "block material universe":
Albert Einstein’s "Theory of Special Relativity" speculates that the passage of time is relative and that our perception of the "now" is based on the speed of light and our local frame of reference however, Einstein never undertood or acknowledged the existence of a the higher spiritual realm beyond this mundane temporary material world.
The spiritual world or Krsna's (God's) Kingdom is made of "living individual units of anti-matter" beginning with Krsna and all of His expansions including the individual jiva-souls.
All individual jīva-souls call their spiritual world their real original home. It is from there they enter the mundane material world (matter) after rejecting Krsna (God) the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.
After choosing to leave the spiritual worlds of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana (anti-matter), the individual jiva-souls enter the mundane temporary material world created by Maha-Visnu and "hire" a temporary decaying material bodily vessel (matter) from Him to proceed to the material world (matter) to experience their mistaken desires without Krsna.
Albert Einstein's limited intelligence claimed we perceive time as an arrow—accumulated experiences of the past and predicting the future—because of how our brains process entropy, causality, and memory consolidation. He claimed the brain is not wired to process space-time in a holistic, non-linear way.
The fact is, the closest claims to "viewing" the full expression of time come from the mysticism from spiritually advanced personalities found in Vedic texts like Srimad Bhagavatam.
Throughout history, mystics and philosophers (like the great yogis, sages, devotees and Vedic scholars of India) have described moments of "transcendent" experience where time seemed to dissolve, revealing the past, present, and future as one unified, eternal "now."
However, mundane science today treats these experiences as profound alterations of neurological processing, foolishly claiming the brain’s temporal sequencing mechanisms are temporarily suppressed, with the nonsense idea that consciousness has literally detached from the physical block of material space-time which is nonsense because these mundane scientists only see mundane "matter" and not "anti-matter" which is what individual life is.
Modern mundane ignorant scientists including Albert Einstein, do not understand the difference between the gross and subtle material bodily vessels (lifeless matter) and the eternal individual living life force (anti-matter) that moves those temporary material bodily vessels the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) are covered by.
Because we cannot physically "view" the "block material universe" in its full manifestation and potential of past, present and future, many ignorant scholars argue that the "block material universe" is lacking in providing a full acceptable explanation, this is not true in Maha-Visnu's material creation.
These mundane ignorant scholars who believe the individual living entities are made of matter, propose an alternative where only the past and present are real, and the block universe is continually "growing" into the future, which they speculate allows the experience of free will to exist.
The great sages, devotess and advanced yogis do not agree with this nonsense because they know the entire material world's past, present and future are the dreams of Maha-Visnu and have always existed as His dreams.
Free will is a paradox built into Maha-Visnu's dreams (matter) where He allows the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) to experience their desires (free will) in the material bodily vessel they choose to "hire" from Him.
When the individual jiva-souls enter the temporary material world, they first must acquire (hire) a material bodily vessel from the dreams of Maha-Visnu that already exist, and always have existed (the meaning of a block material universe) that covers every possible senerio and combination of outcomes that the individual jiva-souls may desire due to free will.
This means eveything that already exists, or will exist in the future, already exists within the dreams of Maha-Visnu eternally.<>.
