We talk about time a lot. You hear the phrase “I don’t have time” maybe a few times a day. Think about that phrase again: “I don’t have time”. Do you think it’s possible to possess time?
How come someone has time and somebody else doesn’t if everyone’s day is always 24 hours long? From the spiritual point of view I would bravely say that ‘time’ does not exist.
What do you think was first, our planet with all its life, or the watch? The simple fact that time changes several times during the year indicates that something is not completely correct about it.
Time is simply one of the things that humans try to possess and control, instead of following the true rhythm of the day – the sunrise and the sunset. Or even our personal rhythms; waking up when the body is rested and taking a break when we’re overwhelmed and so on. Humans simply want more than this incredible phenomenon of nature.
We want to have time. But what happens if we have time? Can we exchange our time for money? Oh yes, that’s what we do. We sell our time. For example, the supermarket checkout man sold eight hours of his time today. After some time of this routine he may forget to listen to the sun or listen to his body rhythm. And he soon becomes a worshipper of the watch.
I even remember my mom once saying, “Without my watch I feel like I’m without my arm”. Wow, that terrifies me! Personally I threw out my watch five years ago (and it was a beautiful Storm watch!). I just did not want to be dedicated to the watch. While I had its weight on my arm I could never relax. And it never let me be in the present moment.
So we sell time. And we buy the time of someone else. How can we gain more personal time? Often what happens is that we don’t have time for the activities we love or for our partner and families.
There is only one solution. If you’re still playing this performance called “The Time” you may try to play a different performance for a while called, “The last day of my life”.
Shocked? By thinking like this you can catch the thoughts that run in your brain right now. You may notice that you really want to do things you’re passionate about.
When time disappears there is just the pure present moment. What happened in the past is not important any more, what will happen in the future is not clear. So the only Time we really have is now.
This point of view is the light that shows us what really matters to us.
Wish you great journey.
Bara with love
