Time as explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam
The material manifestation's ultimate particle, which is indivisible and not formed into a body, is called the atom (parama-aṇuh). It exists always as an invisible identity, even after the dissolution of all forms. The material body is but a combination of such atoms, but it is misunderstood by the common man.
Atoms are the ultimate state of the manifest universe. When they stay in their own forms without forming different bodies, they are called the unlimited oneness. There are certainly different bodies in physical forms, but the atoms themselves form the complete manifestation.
One can estimate time by measuring the movement of the atomic combination of bodies. Time is the potency of the almighty Personality of Godhead, Hari, who controls all physical movement although He is not visible in the physical world.
The division of gross time is calculated as follows: two atoms make one double atom, and three double atoms make one hexatom. This hexatom is visible in the sunshine which enters through the holes of a window screen. One can clearly see that the hexatom goes up towards the sky.
The atom is described as an invisible particle, but when six such atoms combine together, they are called a trasarenu, and this is visible in the sunshine pouring through the holes of a window screen.

"According to some beliefs, that [6,500 years] is the age of the whole universe. But if the universe were only 6,500 years old, how could we see the light from anything more distant than the Crab Nebula? We couldn't. There wouldn't have been enough time for the light to get to Earth from anywhere farther away than 6,500 light-years in any direction. That's just enough time for light to travel through a tiny portion of our Milky Way galaxy.
To believe in a universe as young as 6 or 7,000 years old is to extinguish the light from most of the galaxy. Not to mention the light from all the hundred billion other galaxies in the observable universe."

Confucius was born in 551 BC, in the Chinese State of Lu.
Lao Tzu also known as Laozi or Lao Tse was a mystic Chinese philosopher who was best known as the author of the "Tao Te Ching". Being the author of "Tao Te Ching", he is considered as the founder of the Taoism. In Taoism, he is often worshipped as a deity and called as Taishang Laojun, or "One of the Three Pure Ones". Based on Chinese tradition, he lived in the 6th century BCE. Lao Tzu is a central figure in Chinese tradition and both the nobles and common people consider him in their ancestry. During the course of history, his works were generally accepted by various anti-authoritarian movements.

Historical Siddhārtha Gautama
The times of Gautama's birth and death are uncertain: most historians in the early 20th century dated his lifetime as circa 563 BCE to 483 BCE,[1] but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE.[15][note 5] However, at a symposium on this question held in 1988,[1][16] the majority of those who presented definite opinions gave dates within 20 years either side of 400 BCE for the Buddha's death. These alternative chronologies, however, have not yet been accepted by all other historians.[17][18] The discovery of a possible Buddhist shrine dated to 550 BCE at the Maya Devi Temple, Lumbini may push back the Buddha's birth date.[19]

Shakespeare's Coriolanus is the last of his "Roman plays". Its portrayal of the hero has led to a long tradition of political interpretation of Coriolanus as an anti-populist, or even proto-fascist leader. Bertolt Brecht's version of Coriolanus (1951) stresses this aspect.[4] Suzanne Collins also references the anti-populist interpretation in The Hunger Games trilogy with her character President Coriolanus Snow, a totalitarian dictator who preserves order in the degenerate society of the books, though this character has little in common with the figure Coriolanus. Shakespeare's play also forms the basis of the 2011 motion picture Coriolanus, starring and directed by Ralph Fiennes, in which Coriolanus is the protagonist.

Gerrymandering
Caesar:
Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.
from hence, that is from the latest pot boiled with their bitter tea they commence all over again -the previous prevarications being not enough to unseat the other they must beat the bushes for new red herrings to serve for dinner,
Their young MBA's & freshly minted divinity students out of Liberty marching up & down the I-4 selling two car garages and the end of the world at the same time. Now, they need those colored votes--leek green caligula favored--to grease the wheels. Sweatin beading up wily Karl's face as he tries to sell them a fragrant new soap, community activists in the ghettos, fired up for the Lord, or drumming up interest for a new economic zone.
Young Paul will stay low, only utter enough nutty nonsense to keep himself in the news, don't expect him to agree with the president much, and his cadre will be close & Active. Only game we got today puts Mrs. Clinton in the forecast, a good old horse to be sure, and there is no doubt about her being a democrat, her own proposal for health care being shot down. We may be in need of the Good Mother four years hence, but she will have to run against at best an agent of the anti-christ, because as we all know the lie works, but only on the Faithful who have no choice but to believe, and nothing sells cars like a good lie.

Armageddon!
Wanted:someone to sell the UN to take over the world, sounds Gabriel's horns, swell republican ranks, hires someone to start a war. starts the wrong one. ignites a searing blast. Keep the lid on Jesus amen. They had an actor already. This one fits the role like tv wrote the script back in the sixties, or Heinlein before that. question is what effect a collective unconscious might achieve. Is the crisis sharper than the ideological one which in reality has not been decided only kicked down the road.
in the popular parlance. twixt the twins, at the bottom of which is the light and the dark. with a preacher in charge it won't be much fun, what with praying, and going to Hell. I don't suppose people like me would be of much use in a world like that. Bishop Rumney doncha know, but he ain't the one.
