THE PERCEPTION OF TIME

 

What is time?

 

It has many perceptions. It is a commodity to be traded, a currency which can be used to buy any other thing. You may invest this currency in becoming very skilled at some pursuit.

Time is currency

 

When you are giving time to something, you are also giving it attention. The converse is also true. When you are giving attention to something, you are also giving it time. The two ideas, time and attention, are intertwined, inseparable. That means they are the same thing, or both part of a larger whole.

 

 

Time is attention

 

Time is also perception. It is your current preferred way of perceiving reality, in a stream that is endlessly long and one inch wide. You experience reality as a ticker tape machine experiences the tape. Sometimes, time seems to speed up, slow down, or is forgotten altogether. Which of your experiences with time tell the truth of what time is?

It is also your conditioning. It is a group-think illusion that must be taught. You have to be taught to observe it and to rule your day by a clock.  Otherwise, like a child, you would endlessly indulge your pleasure in living in the moment.

 

 

Time is conditioning

 

Past, present and future: these are only how you choose to experience what you choose to experience.

We do not choose to use the concept of time anymore since you have gone beyond it and don’t need it.

It is an unhappy concept, which makes it easy for you to believe that the things you desire are hiding from you in the folds of time, somewhere in the past or the future.

This is a self-defeating belief, that is all. Now you have realized that everything you want to see manifest is already within you.  If it were not, how would you know to desire it? How would you know to believe you did not have it? Time is a construct loved by humans, but spiritually without meaning.

Everything you love, everything you desire,  is already within you. Let it be manifest. It is not for you to imagine how this will come to pass. Do not allow your mind to go there. As yet, you have but a human imagination. It cannot render what is your heart’s desire. Trust. This is all.

 

Everything you desire is already within you
