It's ..about...Time

(or, incoherent ramblings of a mad scientist)


The sound of a clock ticked loudly in his ears.

He thought about the spaces between the ticks.

It seemed as if a whole universe of life could exist in that short period of time, if only one were moving fast enough. He wondered if the knowledge of the concept of elapsed time was the subconscious programming that we all unconsciously adopt....and by embracing it, seal our own fates to be measured in such a manner. It naturally brings up the question that if we were to outright REJECT the concept of time as being linear and mechanical, would our understanding of what time is be any different?

He knows that there is both fast time, and slow time. That even within the construct which was seemingly unmoved by actual perception, time was yet still elusive and somehow still managed to not allow itself to be pinned down by man.

He thought that maybe time wasn’t in fact just a concept, but rather a force of nature. A physical thing which came in differing relative densities. As we pass through fast time, the day will end with us surprised, still remembering the morning yawns and the confusion about how long it appeared to take an exorbitant amount of time to do the simplest things, like wake up with a cup of coffee.

Yet some of the time, he experienced slow time. No amount of activity, diversion or even sleep would seem to hurry things along.

Perhaps the mechanical time of his clock is actually just a metronome, to standardize the fast and slow time pulses that we all individually experience, and thereby homogenizing the experience of time for everyone?

He pondered the latent anagram of the word time. Emit. Emit what?
Energy? Light? Activity? Life?

Life.

Emitting life. Now that has a nice ring to it. As if our lifeforce were something we came out of the womb with.....bottled up inside of us and we spend it every moment until it is exhausted.

Certainly that is ONE aspect of time, but half of the time we don’t experience time as a commodity which manifests itself to us in surplus.

When was the last time that you heard someone pause, and say, “yes......we have some time”? More often what we all hear is frantic frightened wails of spirits who run across the motion picture of our lives like some cameo appearance of a certain rabbit, lamenting how they haven’t ENOUGH time. Some so agitated that their overloaded schedule has driven them into a sort of almost robotic frenzy as they attempt to do all the things that they would normally do, but in a kinda fast forward way of doing it.

It makes me wonder about the whole time thing. The simple explanation for time and it’s inherent short supply of it relates back to the number of time-consuming things that we feel we must accomplish by a certain deadline. Humanity as a whole has a tendency to attempt to shorten the length of time that these items on our “to-do list” require of us. But the odd solution may in fact be the best one. Instead of attempting to increase the physical speed of our bodies and running willy-nilly trying to do everything faster, maybe what is called for instead is to simply increase the speed of our own internal frequency?

As we raise our level of awareness we become more sensitized to how we think, and also, what...we think. As we become more aware of our own thought processes, we may also become aware of how much time we spend on redundancy. (How many times must we repeat a certain scenario in our head before we accept that what we have constructed as a representative model is something that we accept as a truth)

What if we could increase the effenciency of our thought processes to the point where we gain time by reducing the mental crosstalk which otherwise blocks or disrupts positive action in a given amount of time?

This seems to make sense, however, it implies that the way to move faster through time is to increase our mental speed, and slow our physical speed. This in and of it itself is an entirely OTHER can of worms.

There are two aspects of time. One, the aspect of time which is measured or experienced by the spirit of a body, the other, the aspect of the physical body itself.

This would support the idea that the most basic aspect of time in terms of the experience OF time by a physical being, would be the speed at which our bodies extract energy from a protein source and exchange waste in the process of chemically processing energy sources. This aspect of time appears to be somewhat fixed. (other than the slight variation we can achieve by raising our metabolism)

The Spirit however is not limited to such time constraints. Our spirit is energy, and of course the next logical question is, does our spirit have the ability to keep itself energized without the aspects of energy that the physical body transfers to it? If we believe that a spirit moves on and leaves the physical body behind when the body expires, then we must postulate that the energy developed by the body winds up being merely FOR the body and not the spirit. This suggests that although it may be possible for the spirit of our body's to manipulate time, that our bodies may only experience time in a fixed linear way.

This theory sets a foundation for the understanding of how a spiritual experience may occur in a “different time zone” than what the body experiences.

And that’s just a little bit .....about time.
