Can the movement of time end?


 Because this is very important to understand whether time, not chronological time, but psychological time, can that come to an end ? 
Or must there be always till I die this movement of I will be, I must not be, I should be, I shall not be regret, remembrance - you follow ?
the whole psychological activity in which time is involved. 
That is, can time come to an end?

...

So therefore we must understand the nature of time. That is, psychologically, inwardly we are caught in a network of time. 
I am going to die, I am afraid and I remember the happy things or painful things. And the brain is functioning, living in time. Right?
You can see this yourself. This is an obvious fact.


...

So part of meditation is to find out for oneself whether time can stop.
Not - you can't do this saying, 'Time must stop' it has no meaning. But to understand the whole structure and the nature and the depth of this question. Right?

That means: is it possible for the brain to realize that it has no future ?
Do you understand what I am saying ?

...

can you tolerate that there is no tomorrow psychologically ? Can you ?
That is part of meditation to find out psychologically there is no tomorrow. 

...

' I shan't meet you tomorrow, whom I love' 
do you understand what I am saying?
I may meet you, I probably will but the hope, the pleasure the looking forward to something all that is involved in time. 

Which doesn't mean if you have no hope that you discard hope which means that you understand the movement of time. If you discard hope then you become bitter then you say, 'Why should I live, what is the purpose of life?' and all that nonsense begins - depression, agony to live without anything in the future 
do you understand all this?

So one has to go into this question not verbally not theoretically but actually to find out psychologically in yourself if you have the slightest sense of tomorrow.

You should have very strong feelings - feelings of passion, anger - and watch them, play with them, find out the truth of them

https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/chapter-8 That is why you should have very strong feelings - feelings of passion, anger - and watch them, play with them, find out the truth of them; for if you merely suppress them, if you say, "I must not get angry, I must not feel passionate, because it is wrong", you will find that your mind is gradually being encased in an idea and thereby becomes very shallow. ... In this country, unfortunately, as all over the world, we care so little, we have no deep feeling about anything. Most of us are intellectuals - intellectuals in the superficial sense of being very clever, full of words and theories about what is right and what is wrong, about how we should think, what we should do. Mentally we are highly developed, but inwardly there is very little substance or significance; and it is this inward substance that brings about true action, which is not action according to an idea. That is why you should have very strong feelings - feelings of pa...
