[[Time]] appears to us today in earthly experience as an unstoppable, irreversible, linear sequence of events directed from the past through the present into the future. [[w:Arthur Stanley Eddington|Arthur Stanley Eddington]] (1882-1944) coined the term [[arrow of time]] for this in the Gifford Lectures he gave in 1927, which gives the time axis a clear irreversible direction in spatiotemporal diagrams.

In contrast, the ancient mythologies were based on a cyclical model of time, which has its origins in the experience of the course of the year.

From an [[Anthroposophy|anthroposophical]] point of view, what we experience as time has its true cause in the interaction of a sum of lower and higher [[spiritual beings]].
