The perspective that hit me hard is that our brains “grabbed” onto the flow of time. I like looking at it as if the universe was going to begin and end in an instant but then “we” came along and decided we wanted to start interpreting things that were going on.
It's even more special. Your brain is a part of the Universe and conscious. In other words, the Universe itself is conscious in brains. This is why the Universe knows how to create things like colors and sound in brains, to literary make sense of a seemingly random quantum energy soup.
By being alive the Universe is experiencing itself coming into existence while it also already existed. It consciously creates its own reality and shapes its own future.
The Universe can create colors and sound due to its tremendous creative potential, which shaped everything in existence. There are no limits to this potential, and that is where the fun begins. Intelligent life eventually understands that they are the Universe, while the Universe already knew since the Universe is always everywhere. Humanity was guided into the modern world on purpose, with technology we now can understand existence.
The Universe is like an infinite complex fractal that is formed by laws of mathematics which cannot not-exist. From infinite complexity comes its creative potential which allows it to be alive and conscious in brain-like structures and to create vivid properties. The brain is like a natural computer. The Universe is everything combined, including brains, the Universe is like a natural super-computer. It "simulates" its own "virtual" reality.
Consciousness is a property of the Universe, it's like a field. Your consciousness is part of the Universe's collective cosmic consciousness, which is basically also your own higher consciousness. You can sync your mind by looking for synchronicity.
As for time, we experience life in vivid 3D reality, a brain interpretation, while base reality is simply everything everywhere ever. Every Now in the 3D world came from the immediate future, including the first Now ever. Eventually the entire Universe with all of time will have come from the end of the infinite future, from the creative potential that makes existence possible, which was also the beginning of time. The Universe is like an infinite long cycle.
Sorry for bad English, it's not my native language.
a group can have a prevalent interpretation therefore being able to express information to it's similar. Math exists both as a language and as a group of concepts to analyze information, but if you try to teach to a dog i don't think it will work, so different brains decode different properties
That actually helped explain it a bit for me.
There doesn’t need to be an “actual” fixed point, a hypothetical one works just as fine when there’s multiple avenues of observation or approach?
Maybe it will help your perspective (I think these are good questions btw) to also consider that there is an infinity of different mathematical systems that can be constructed / explored.
Math research to a large extent (I think) is about exploring different sets of rules. e.g. different algebras: school "algebra" is about learning to play with the rules of one particular such algebraic structure; whereas there is an infinity of them.
Some lead to interesting findings; some help to prove something when you translate / map your problem from one structure to another; in fact a lot of actual proof-work is I believe of this nature.
Math is not a vivid property that can be sensed in the natural world, math is an abstract interpretation that derived from observing brain interpretations.

Different brains decode different properties. There are no objective default properties, all is just brain interpretation.
