00:00And the bug has to be ugly.
00:04At Cambridge University stands one of the world's strangest clocks,
00:10the Corpus Clock, built by inventor John Taylor
00:14and unveiled by Stephen Hawking.
00:17Watching over it is a terrifying creature called the Chronophage,
00:22the Time Eater.
00:24The clock runs ahead, falls behind and then catches up again itself,
00:29a reminder that time is subjective and experienced differently by every individual.
00:36Beneath it lies a warning, the world passes away and so do its desires.
00:41For years, thousands of students and visitors walked beneath it,
00:46fascinated by its design but unaware of a deeper meaning hidden in plain sight.
00:52And then in 2026…
00:56You know how it would be interpreted?
01:00Yeah, I mean, we would love to know from you.
01:04That bug would represent the ego.
01:06So that bug is what causes distortions in the chronological event.
01:12So what we find distorted here is psychological time.
01:16So when the ego meets the universe,
01:21it is never the universe that it rightly perceives.
01:25It perceives my universe.
01:28And my universe is never the real thing.
01:31My universe is always a projection of the ego.
01:36So that's why it's not just the we is there.
01:39That bug had to be there because the wheel is for the bug.
01:44Yeah.
01:44So if we ask, can we have just the wheel running there?
01:48Impossible.
01:49Yeah.
01:49Impossible.
01:52So what you see there as the wheels is what you could call as physical time or chronological time.
01:59Right.
02:00The wheel and the bug exist for each other.
02:02Right.
02:02The ego is the world.
02:04Yeah.
02:04The world is the ego.
02:06And both corrupt each other.
02:08This is the standard cosmic duality.
02:11Right.
02:13The solution is that the bug reduces
02:16because it's the bug that has certain sovereignty.
02:19The bug can choose to reduce itself.
02:22And when the bug reduces itself,
02:24then this wheel that represents Kaal
02:26that moves towards Akaal.
02:29Akaal.
02:29Which basically means that as the ego reduces,
02:33your perception becomes clearer
02:35and in the very utopian state of ego infinitismally minimized,
02:43tending to zero,
02:44the two are gone now.
02:45The perceiver of time and the universe of time have now become one.
02:50I've been passing this road, I don't know, maybe a thousand times.
02:55First time, whatever you have.
02:57How is that?
02:59How is that?
02:59How is that?
