Human language has its limits. And if someone tells you some things you have to take it sometimes on a kind of trust, though you cannot imagine what is being told you.
Do these two assertions lie at the very heart of your proselytizing?

Whoever doesn't believe in mind over matter, please raise your hand.
Shouldn't this be: "Whoever believes in 'mind over matter', please raise my hand."?

My thinking was that if one does not believe in mind over matter raising the hand indicates they must be wrong.

The mind instructed the matter of the hand to physically raise.

I have two questions. And I will volunteer to give my answer to them first.

1.) Can human beings imagine time with no beginning?

2.) Can human beings imagine time with a beginning?

Those are the two questions.
Personally, I cannot imagine either.

No.
No.

What about you?
1) The golden apples of the Sun

2) The silver apples of the Moon

imagine that time does not exist
there is no past
there is no future
there exists only the present, the right now
all these other constructs are humans attempting to manage the inexplicable
Sorry to say, but that sounds like Gordon Lightfoot in a bottle with the wrong yeast.

The point of this OP's questions was not immediate.

It is that many things we are told by SOMEBODY are matters we have to TRUST them on. To actually imagine them may not be possible for us.

Some people who have knee-jerk obligation to disagree with a Christian may argue. But the point is rather neutral.
