Time, Reality and Mental Health

Time is a subjective subject and depending on your state of mind can slow down and speed up depending on how you choose to view it. That is why a day at the theme park seems like it lasted only a brief second and 30 minutes on a treadmill can seemingly last forever (even with an I-pod, book and good company). This is because you are viewing these two events in very different ways.

The theme park is fun and when you’re in a state of mind that is flowing with enjoyment, time is following your lead and gracefully flowing throughout your day. As opposed to the stare of boredom on the treadmill where you watch every second tick as you will the time to go faster and only proves to slow the process down.

Nature flows in this way, an even flowing effortless motion and is always flowing gracefully. Everything will flow to you in this way if you are able to remove your resistance from your everyday life. As everyday should feel like a day at the theme park filled with fun, wonder and joy. This is living and no matter what excuse you try to make there is no reason for you not to be living in this state of being; as all you have to do is let go of the resistance which imprisons you.

You may have heard this term stated by Dr. Wayne Dyer as he refers to living in the now or heard Abraham hicks calls this flowing downstream. But what may be the easiest way to view this is in a time related paradigm observation and is written about extensively in the book “15 Days to a Beautiful Life”.

There are only two possible states of time observation one can be observing. The first is a Past – Future Paradigm where you’re constantly living in a state of the past transitioning into the future, which does not allow for the observation of the now. As you’re always anticipating something or recalling something that happened before, you will suspend your mind from realizing the moment and will be resisting the flow of life a great deal. This also proves to weaken your control of your mind and emotions, a fundamental factor in new thought mental technology.

The other is the Present Paradigm where your mind assimilates with the present moment and does not contemplate anything outside of the now unless specifically asked to do so.This gives you complete control of yourself. This quantum variable is where the mind can only realize the present moment and no matter how many pictures or video’s you take the mind can only live that moment one time. In this Paradigm there is no proof to the mind that yesterday existed or tomorrow will ever come; as yesterday is seems like a dream and by the time you get to tomorrow it is now!

So what really exists is nothing but the present and the clock on the wall is meaningless to reality and is only for classification purposes. By realizing the now you not only allow the enjoyment of life but you will be making clear and rational decisions in a healthy mind frame.

If you feel like you lose the feeling of the moment, do not fret. We all do and it is part of our mental evolution. No one is perfect and never beat yourself up for something that happens as the purpose of this mistake will serve to adjust your mental outlook, and these slip ups will become your greatest teachers.
