In not that worried about time. It think it really is
all relative - and a clock attached to a photon
wouldn't, from our perspective, move ... so the theory
goes :o)
Anyway, back to the brain before consciousness (or
awareness, as you prefer) ... brains (or things like
them) are written into nature, just as, for example,
vortices spinning down a bathroom plughole are also.
However, it take time for brains (and vortices) to be
made manefest.
Its probably down to whether to feel you are the
Universe looking out of a brain, or a brain looking at
the universe.
Stay cool,
best wishes,
André
