Time slows down

[Rose]

I have noticed that time seems to slow down for me when I do activities of different kind during the day. If I only do 1 activity - clean the house, work, or study - it seems to run by super fast. If I do various things during the day, the day seems to have been longer.

 

Does anyone else experience this? 

[Phil]

Scrutiny of the direct experience of time reveals not only whether anyone else experiences this or not, but if in fact you actually do or presently are. 

What is the actual experience of time?

[Someone here]

@Phil you tell me. 

[Phil]

@Someone here

Scrutiny of direct experience is examining direct experience, as opposed to listening to what someone is telling you. 

The direct experience of ‘someone telling you’ can also be scrutinized, as in questioned & inspected or examined. 

[Someone here]

@Phil yeah sure sure sure ...

Now what is time in your opinion?

[Phil]

@Someone here

Time is in opinions?

Is that true in direct experience?

[Phil]

@Someone here

The beauty of inspecting direct experience is that it reveals the truth and isn’t philosophical or any kind of game playing. 

[Someone here]

@Phil sorry about the rude response. That was stupid from me .

im just interested in cutting the shit .

[Phil]

@Someone here

Awesome.

What’s the direct experience of time, or, what is time in accordance with direct experience?

More so and maybe next, why does there seem to be this experience of time speeding up & slowing down? 

 

[Someone here]

@Phil I have no idea. 

[Phil]

@Someone here

One way of inspecting direct experience is recognizing awareness is fundamentally aware of thought, perception & sensation. 

If interested, check of which time is and is not experienced. 

[Someone here]

@Phil thank ypu for posing these questions.  Im a bit busy at the moment.  I will come back to this later .thanks again 

[Phil]

@Someone here

No problem. Any time. 

[Someone here]

@Phil hi man.  Time is a concept to describe motion or change .

[Mandy]

If point a, or "start" is one thought, point b or finish/here/now, is a second though, the third thought is the measure of time in between. So the more points a and b and c and d and so on, the more it seems there's time. 

 

Another visual way to see the idea of time and how there really is none. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

Time is a tool you can put on the wall
Or wear it on your wrist
The past is far behind us
The future doesn't exist 

 

Sunrise, sunset, night and day
The changing seasons, the smell of hay
Look at your hair grow, isn't it strange?
How time makes your appearance change

 

Now you can see the importance of time
It helps us make pizza, it keeps things in line
But when did it start?
And when will it stop?
Time is important and I am a clock

@Someone here

Very nice. I completely agree. 

 

So, what is motion or change? 

What’s with this experiential speeding up and slowing down?

Difficult question.  I don't think motion or change are reducible to something more fundamental.  They just are what they are .

Interested to hear from you ..like I said ..you tell me lol.

@Someone here

It was hard to answer in terms of an opinion because the approach was unbiased & purely scientific. It turns out there is an actuality underlying the conceptualizations of time / spacetime / change / motion. Not per se a reduction or something more fundamental, but the actuality of the appearing concepts and of apparent perception which clarifies the what, why, when & how of experience by & large, and of how time seems to speed up in ‘happy times’ and slow down in ‘unhappy times’, as well as exactly how change works. 

 

Communication wise it’s exactly the same as the hard ‘problem’ of consciousness. It’s not really a problem of or for consciousness at all. It’s an illusory problem from an illusory perspective. It’s the same with sharing the ultimate substrate / structure of reality with respect to time, change, motion, space, etc. There is no shortage of being aware of the entire process presently, or any withholding of the sharing whatsoever. It’s the illusory perspective which obscures which is ‘the problem’, but again, only from an illusory perspective. This is why communication about the actuality of the entirety of reality - heard from the illusory perspective, is sometimes therein believed to be and apparently said to be vague, mystical, ambiguous, reductive or even cryptic. The actuality of course doesn’t line up with an illusory perspective. That would be impossible. This is again do to being being unbiased. More so, not actually knowing what bias is or would be. 

 

I’m betting you yourself can appreciate the communicative challenge therein, as, if this was your forum you might have kicked me out for sharing the truth more than once. Maybe once just in this thread alone. As have multiple platforms which purport to be sharing the truth of nonduality / Being’s being.

Time is the most important thing indeed.
