The Time Dimension

There are two ways of looking at time.

1 -> There is no present. Or the present tends to zero. The future is quickly turns into past
2-> There is always present. It is ever present or present is infinite. There is not past or future.

both the above view could be considered to explain an 'ego-less' space or existence

But the ego modifies this representation of time into three distinct past, present and future components where as the present is somewhere between 0 and infinite. This loose definition of time creates the illusion of becoming is more important than being.
