Your relationship to time says a lot about your relationship with yourself. You can learn a lot about your personality, state of mind and level of consciousness based on how you view and relate to time. If you are asked what time is, notice which (or how many) of the following feel right or compatible with how you view the world:
1. Time is a means of enslavement
Notice whether you use time unconsciously, as when your attitude resents deadlines or calendar events. Observe how you feel, whether your muscles contract or get anxious about constraints. This view evokes feelings of stress, limitation, resistance, discomfort, and punctuality issues. Being late is like sending the message, "I don't care", "It doesn't matter" or "F*ck you." Identify specific emotion(s) driving you along and follow them to the Source.
2. Time is a device of convenience
Notice whether you use time consciously as a tool to rendez-vous with people in specific places, longitudes, latitudes or when the Sun is at a certain point in the sky. Meet a friend for a hot drink or a lover for dinner. How else in the physical, linear world can you be sure to be in the same point at the same time? This view sees time as a device, like an invisible thread to bring people together in the same perceived conditions.
3. Time is a luxury
Notice whether time is something you feel you lack, do not have or choose to deny yourself. Pinpoint whether its something you think you must earn or bend over backwards to get, strain or struggle to obtain. This view sees time as like a carrot at the end of a fishing line you always seem to be chasing. Yet, what is luxury? It is increasingly defined by how people view and spend time. In a busy and intrusive world, people increasingly value time for enjoying intimate moments and extraordinary or unique experiences.
4. Time is therapy
Notice how much time you give yourself reveals how much love, joy self-care you give yourself. In another way, what you are aware of in time is all that exists for you and offers a lesson in the psychotherapy of appreciation. The more you observe and appreciate yourself, the more your senseory perception expand s and the more of your surroundings opens itself up to you. If you are not in the forest when a tree is cut, you do not hear it fall. If you are unaware of your needs, you cannot satisfy them in-time.
5. Time is a pointer to the totality
Being here involves intention to know life in all dimensions. Let us say we turn down voltage to lights. You cannot see verything clearly in your midst. Imagine that your mind-body is operating at a limited voltage until you discover you hold back and then turn up the life voltage within you. Awakening and Mastering Time to time turns up your voltage which enables you to handle whatever happens. Inside you are fully charged. Life within you is like an explosion. Exercising control on the outside can lead you to constraint the energy flow on the inside. As you allow energy to flow freely inside, surrender to yourself, and properly control the outside. The body, mind can then be used to the full extent. Things you never thought you were capable of you begin doing simply because you begin to see yourself as a battery with voltage fully charged.
6. Time is a portal
In Science fiction books and films, time portals are often used to take a group of people or a single person back in time. Popular time travel destinations often involve traveling back to the era of the dinosaurs. In some films time portals can also be set as a hazard, for instance, they can begin to go haywire which makes them accidentally transport you where you do not wish to go. Back to the future or back to the past is a choice you can easily change with awareness.
7. Time is the key to endless possibilities
From the moment you see time as branching timelines and dimensions, excitement grows as you create pitstops as you hitchhike through universes. You shift gears, travel differently, discover astral and lucid dreaming, the insights to travel through the chakras and other systems.
8. Time is an imaginary concept
Notice time is an imaginary concept that exists in the mind. You give it life and meaning by focusing attention on it. Time play with in movies and books. We need not travel by Flu powder like Harry Potter and friends who call out the name os a place, disparate and apparate To be mindful of your past, is to be open to lessons. Yet, do not focus here, or it will trap you. To be mindful of your future, is to know your vision of future shapes your future. But do not linger too long, or it will distract you. Choosing to stay present is to marvel at simple wonders of this moment and be infinitely grateful all-the-time.
