Does a consciousness-only model of reality assign a specific age to the universe, such as the 7500 years suggested by some orthodox traditions?

Attempting to measure the age of the universe assumes that time exists as a fixed, independent container holding all of reality. A consciousness-only framework rejects this premise. Time represents a self-imposed boundary assumed by universal awareness to create the experience of sequence and localization. Awareness generates time, rather than time governing awareness. Because time is a generated boundary existing only within the relative sphere, applying a temporal measurement to the totality of existence misunderstands the true nature of the cosmos.

Rather than a finished product completed in antiquity, the sensory world operates as the active expression of awareness happening in the present moment. While this perspective can accommodate concepts of vast, beginningless cosmic cycles spanning billions of years, these immense epochs are simply activity of universal being. ●
