The Illusion of Time

We often believe that time is a fixed and linear concept, a measurable quantity that can be managed and controlled. Yet, time is an illusion, a human construct that has no basis in reality. This paradox gives rise to an internal struggle, a conflict between our desire for control and our acceptance of the present moment. To resolve this tension, we must cultivate a sense of mindfulness and presence. Mindfulness is not a mental state, but rather an inner state that allows us to see ourselves and the world around us with clarity and precision. As we let go of our need for control over time, we may encounter feelings of anxiety and stress. But these feelings are not enemies to be vanquished; they are guides that highlight the discord between our true self and the external expectations that have misled us. By embracing this anxiety as a teacher, we can discover the eternal force within us, a force that is unshakable, unchangeable, and independent of external time. This force is our true essence, our inner being aligned with the natural flow of life. It is the source of our creativity, our passion, and our purpose. Trust in this force, and let it guide you. Daily, remind yourself that your sense of security and stability is not contingent on your ability to control time. Your sense of security and stability is intrinsic, a fundamental part of your being. Embrace this truth, and let the internal struggle dissolve into peace. Be the lovely human you are, with or without control over time. - Lenfantvivant
