Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.

hi tai,

this is very interesting. it would explain why in dreams time seems so jumbled - i can know i'm adult with children but be back in high school, or my teenaged child is suddenly a baby, etc.

love,

nicole

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

yes, that happens to me in dreams, time really has no(w) meaning.  If we live in our “now” time or “present time” I believe that all time exists in that moment.  There's a saying I think about living in/for the moment - it could be like pulling all the threads together of past and future and knowing we are “timeless beings” - time converges into “the moment”…we flow into that moment and we are more of ourselves - does that make sense..

love Tai

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

Time exists in those things a spirit creates.  It's like a shift of particles, always making new space, always at an agreed-upon rate.  Time could be considered to be a manifestation in space which is varied by objects.  It is a consideration that brings about persistence, by alteration.  It is an agreed on reality of something moving from point A to point B.  Timelessness merely means something that endures across long spans of time.  I have noticed when I go away from a friend and come back a year later it seems like yesterday.  I love putting targets to time and getting more done.

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

I've noticed that if I let go of time and stop looking at clocks so much, everything gets done without as much effort.  Our bodies and minds seem to know when it's the right time to do something or not do something and we feel like we're going against “our flow” if we do things we're not flowing with.  When we are in our flow, life flows better all around us (our families, friends, collegues, children) and as long as we are committed to follow “our life's flow” everything strangely becomes flowing too.  Could it be about letting go of what we think is right, or conditioned to think is right and going more with instinct and our bodies energy needs.  So if we are flowing well time doesn't matter, we are time - we are “in time”, or “in tune with time”

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

stress itself costs a lot of effort whether we are stressing about time or something else. the more i can relax into the moment, the better it is.

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

I have experienced those special moments in Time, when I am centered and present and Time can be whatever you need it to be.  It feels like I am in-between Time and Space and the scenes around me can be slowed down or sped up to accommodate the thought processes I am having at the “time”.  
I have often thought about those waking visions that People have…like when they see Mythical Beings…one minute they are before you and the next they have disappeared into the “in-between” worlds where they live “among or transparent beside” us.

Like when People see Sasquatch or Nessie or the Little People. Many know they exist…in another “dimension” in Time and Space.  Or maybe when One “walks on water”, they are just recalling the time before when there was a forest path before them….a few thousand years in the past.  For as everyone knows this place in Time and Space is just an Illusion. Time shifts like sand.  One time an island pristine, the next a casino and maybe in the future, a buried archaeological treasure.  

Isn't this what Science calls research into Quantum Physics?  I call the experience a Miracle from the Creator, and I don't need to figure out how it came about, I just enjoy the Experience….knowing I have grown in Spirit enough to reach this pinnacle of Time, and this is all a Dream, the Creator's Dream that I share in dreaming.  Oh, and some call this Enlightenment, Moksha, Nirvana, the Quantum Leap, Attainment, Cosmic Shift or Rapture.

A Dream I hope to “share in” with Others. 

Love Always and Live Forever!

Re: Any thoughts - the unconscious and time

When meditating we appear to be in a special “zone” of no-time.   I've been experiencing the most beautiful moving pictures, like watercolours of light that form and re-form and sort of flow ….the feeling is amazing, very uplifting.  I've been writing poetry to capture these moments and trimming photos up to light images, as an expression of the “feeling” - I believe cosmic is a good word to explain how we feel the “lift off” we sometimes experience in meditation, it feels like being in “space” and travelling around, a feeling of great freedom and expansion..
Sometimes I can look at a clock and gain time from somewhere, like I've been in a space of no-time for a while and just come back into normal time!
