That is true of psychological time, but not necessarily of physical 
time. There are energies which travel backward in time, meaning they 
come at us from the future and disappear into the past. Or that is 
what the mathematics seems to say anyway. As for the idea that time 
is a dimension, that originated with Zoellner in the nineteenth 
century and was incorporated by Einstein into his Special Theory of 
Relativity. It has proved extremely useful in predicting phenomena 
in nature.

Theosophy has an interesting idea that the events we see around us in 
the present existed in some sense on subtler planes before they 
manifested to us objectively. So the concept of NOW could in theory 
be not a single moment in time but an interval, only a portion of 
which is available to us consciously at a given time. In other 
words, the paradox, as is the case with many others, has to do with 
the discrepancy between the way the world really works and the way we 
perceive it as working. That is just a theory, of course, as I am 
unaware of any experiment anyone could put together to test it.
