There’s no Tuesday

Do we actually grasp the significance of that, though? That's the key question.

Intellectually, we can understand it. It's relatively straightforward if one understands English. But what does our experience say in the matter? 

It's a fascinating contemplation. For example, we likely keep holding the present as a moment in time, and don't quite perceive the Now. Anything we point to - whether it happened years ago or a millisecond ago - seems to be process-based, which isn't the same as an experience of now. Now it's an absolute, and naming things is one of the functions of language, so things can be named; another thing is whether that is an accurate representation of what's so. It's still a representation and not the thing itself. 

Some food for thought, sorry if I sidetracked the thread. 

There’s not even a Now really.

because now still implies time, before and next.

Perhaps. But consider that the now is an absolute and might even be the source of time, prior to "before and next", or the context for them. That is, we have yet to become conscious of the Now - it's likely being heard as the way we experience "the present moment", which is fine. At the same time, they aren't quite the same thing. I can't really tell because I'm not conscious of that now.

Obviously it’s useful to say we have an appointment on Tuesday or whatever.

 

But it then easily becomes stale and repetitive.

God fuccn Tuesday again and i hate my dumb job and my fat boss.

And god my dumb fat boss NEVER respects me.

and so on.

But it’s not true everything is not repetitive.

Everything is kind of new.

There‘s no real Tuesday and there has never been and there will never be.

I feel the same about the fake repetition that are religious holidays, especially Christmas time. Yawn!! Urgh!!

 

That is the price paid for being born a human I guess. Can get tedious.

 

 But yes, everything is kind of new.

You are right in the sense there is no Tuesday. It is just a label given for us humans to be able to organise ourselves, plan ahead, sequence ourselves, organise the past in linear terms, and many more much deeper constructs of our minds. As is every day, and year, and so on. It works. It’s useful. Essentially there are no days in reality, just the ever changing same one moment, going dark, becoming light, due to the spin of the earth and orbits, movement through space,  giving the impression of sunrise and sunsets, and aiding the minds impression of time moving along in that linear fashion. 
A softer element of how you can see through your minds constructs on days of the week, a more surface level aspect of the construct, and more personal to yourself is simply look at how you described Tuesday. It being a day when you were at school and was so far away from the weekend, so basically you had a particular feeling that would arise, an impression of Tuesday and where it lay due to your personal wants and needs. You were after the weekend, the freedom the weekend gives you. And probably are of similar mindset today with the general working week. Well if we just collectively decided that the school week and working week were now going to be ran from Thursday to Monday, and Tuesday and Wednesday were to be the weekend, which wouldn’t really change anything, barring the backlash from maybe some religious groups, but we’ll leave that out of it, then the so called Tuesday would suddenly have a completely different feel, looked at in a completely different way, and likely become the most looked forward to day of the week. Yours and the majority of others favourite day of the week. All in all, yes, it is just bullshit

Yeah I've had this insight with tennis. Tennis isn't a sport, it doesn't exist .

You know it’s wild.

Obviously we know that the word Tuesday was made up at some point.

Allegedly the seven day week was made up in Mesopotamia b.c.

And the word Tuesday comes from norse god Tiw, which was an equivalent of Roman god Mars. And In Latin language there’s also still Mars used in Tuesday. Like in French Mercredi.

But that’s all a total story.

I used to hate Tuesday because it was the longest day in school early on and there were many days away from the weekend.

Oh no it’s Tuesday again.

It gives you the sense of repetition.

But there was never a Tuesday and there will never be a Tuesday. It’s just a concept.

 

There’s just this and there’s no word for it really.

Thanks for the subtle cue of a non-existing tuesday. 

I can see that it's just a concept, but once accepted and believed it becomes reality that i live from.

Isn't all reality like that? I mean there is an objective experience, however most of what makes it an experience, is conceptual.
 

That's why once accepted Tuesday is as real as any other thing. It's impact and the consequences are real. 

This makes me wonder that our ability to delude oversleves is limitless. This kind of reality making feels more like a feature of us, rather then a bug. We actively create reality and forget that we did, because otherwise it won't work, i mean it won't be lived as reality.

Tuesday doesn’t exist outside of it's apparent conception in this conception.

 

Like every other idea that is inconceivably conceived =  Equal Vision.
