Time

Time: That fabulous little illusion that drives us crazy – unless we learn to manoeuvre its lack to our advantage.
Confused? Bear with me.
All the theories of time being linear, going through black holes, jumping hoops, not existing in space yet seeming so real on earth... They're all well and good in theory. Practically, it can be confusing, at best.
So let's make this real easy.
Think back to your favourite holiday. Recall your favourite day of that holiday.  Can you imagine how you managed to squeeze so much into just one day? You had time for a big breakfast, time to shower, travel, change buses and trains, get lost, find your way, take a million photographs, shop, laugh, rest, go site-seeing... and all this before lunch!
So what did you just do there?
You stretched the day to allow you to get all you wanted, done.
Now think back to the last big fight you had with your partner – or your ex even . Remember how they slammed the door behind them on their way out? Remember waiting restlessly for them to call or turn up? Remember looking at your watch every two minutes, surprised that time refused to pass?
Remember how that panic-struck hour felt like eternity?
Of course you do.
Congratulations. You've just unravelled the mystery of time.

Time may seem to be the controlling factor, but in effect, its really easy to manipulate.
You can sit and stare in someone's eyes and live eternity in an hour, or make yourself sick to the stomach and stretch an hour into eternity.

At the end of the day, time is invisible. It's just energy. As are the molecules and atoms that make up your body. So if you and time have originated from the same source of energy, who's to say you don't have the power to manipulate, mould and bend it as you wish?

And you wonder why some people continue looking so young at 60?

  2. I meant your insights are unusually brilliant, not usually brilliant
