It’s Time For A New Look At Time

Time is the great leveler—we all receive the gift of 86,400 seconds every day of our lives, and it’s entirely up to us how we use them. But that kind of counting out of time, of dividing it into units is an arbitrary notion. I could just as easily tell you that each day contains 172,800 lurps. (Don’t look it up, it doesn’t exist except in my imagination.)

Time is actually the illusion of the mind seeking to have control.

We created the calendar and the clock to attempt to measure the immeasurable. Our lives are simply a continuum of connection to the Infinite, perhaps stretching backward before our birth into this body and forward into unknowable realms of being. How could we possibly measure that—or even more important—why would we want to?

The infinite cannot be held in the palm of the finite. A better exercise would be to try and enhance our understanding of this thing we call time by eliminating as many self-imposed restraints as we can—at least for an experiment in expanding your own consciousness. I’m not suggesting we indefinitely forego schedules and appointments and agreements that are based on our current constructs of time. But I am suggesting that there are other, deeper ways to look at time, and that we could all benefit from doing just that. To open to the possibility of different dimensions is to allow space into our world and thus open to a universe of possibilities beyond the imagination.

To truly enter this other dimension, we would need a new vocabulary to discuss it. Or, even better, we can just hope to simply be in it, live in it, and allow it to alter us without the need to quantify it at all. Won’t you join me in this exploration?
