Time is an integral part of the make up of this energy/space continuum we call the physical universe. There is a pulsation of existence in all things, right down to the sub atomic level.

There are circadian rhythms built into our genes which resonate with the pulsations of the universe. As long as we have a human brain in this life, we organize our thoughts and experiences sequentially to be able to make sense of them. Our brains wouldn’t be able to handle it if we experienced everything simultaneously in the ‘now’. We would basically crack up.

Have you noticed how in dreams, this sequential organization often breaks down, and we experience concurrent sensations and events which don’t seem to make any sense?

If we say time doesn’t exist, then we would have to say that the universe doesn’t exist either, which then leads us to the oft discussed question about what is reality, illusion, etc.
