Ok what do you all think of this idea?

Everything has existed from the beginning of time and it is only the perspective on it that has changed. So the objects, people, ideas, places and whatever have always existed you are just viewing them differently creating the illusion that they change over the course of your life.

    No - I did not exist a hundred years ago - and my prospects for still existing a hundred years from now are looking poor. Same for my shoes. Well - seems to me, same for everything. Even the very stars are constantly changing, burning, converting - it's not because we view it differently.

    Therefore the whole universe and everything in it is one of the same thing. Yep I believe the same thing. I just don't know how that's important.
