The future and the present may have already existed at the same time 🫶

Recently studying the "I Ching," the more I ponder, the more I find this idea fascinating:
The future might not be something that hasn't happened yet, but something that exists simultaneously with the present, only our perception hasn't reached it yet.

The corner of the 10th and 8th floors
Standing on the 10th floor looking down, you can clearly see at the corner below, two people will have an accidental encounter in a few minutes.
But for the people at the corner, the encounter still has to wait a few more minutes.
The "future" you see from the 10th floor is actually the "present that has not yet happened" for the people downstairs. It’s already there, just at a different height and perspective.

Time is a book that has already been written
The page you turn to is the "present," and the subsequent chapters are the "future."
The words of the future are already printed on the paper; it’s not that they haven't been written yet, you just haven't turned to that page.
Just like the "Tui Bei Tu" can predict events a thousand years later — it’s more like flipping to the later pages of the book in advance.
3/5
Time is a finished movie
The director has already edited the entire film, with the beginning, climax, and ending all set.
We are just sitting in the theater, following the progress bar to a certain minute.
What you think is the "future plot" has actually existed on the film reel all along.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng might be the ones who saw the trailer in advance.
4/5
The hidden harmony between metaphysics and science
This feeling of "the future already existing" aligns closely with the deduction of the I Ching hexagrams.
Hexagrams are not about predicting the unknown but about decoding existing trends.
It even resonates with relativity and the multiverse interpretation — time has never been an absolute linear flow.
5/5
Understanding this makes me feel more at ease.
There’s no need to worry about what the future will be because it’s already there.
But that doesn’t mean we should just lie down — the current interpretation of this moment determines which timeline we will follow.
Living in the present means seriously acting out this scene.
Every shot, the universe has already recorded on the film of time.
