I am completely with you on the time thing. I have said that many times myself. That is somewhat the premise of my quantum story... There is only Now... There is no then...

But I will raise you a mental thought experiment... What if both time and gravity were extra-dimensional. Basically, not really a part of the universe at all, but just a bleed through from somewhere else... ie. What if the esoteric world, the spirit world, heaven, etc, was the only place where "time" actually existed... and we only perceive time through our soul's connection to that place that actually has time... ie, that would add cred to the whole consciousness creates reality thing because it would mean that we are literally bringing time with us from the other side by viewing the cause and effect timeless world...
