The elasticity of time can be experienced with various states of mind. When you are happy you experience it as moving fast as comparable to when you are sad.
1. “Mind and Elasticity of Time”
B/L: Er Pankaj Rai
“The elasticity of time can be experienced with various states of mind. When you are happy
you experience it as moving fast as comparable to when you are sad.”
Intro: Time is…
SLOW:When you wait.
FAST:When you are late.
DEADLY: When you are sad.
SHORT:When you are happy.
ENDLESS: When you are in pain.
LONG: When you are feeling bored
Every time it is determined by feelings and, psychological conditions, not by clocks.
Although most of us are enslaved by the clock, the fact is that linear time broken up into
hours, minutes, and seconds is a creation of man.
What is time?
Time is an observed phenomenon, by means of which human beings sense and record
changes in the environment and in the universe. Time which is measuring instrument of
changes, experienced by our mind. Mind and its states along with senses and neural activities
results with perception which results in elasticity of TIME.
Relationof Time and Mind:
An emotion alters the experienced length of time .When the mind contracts, when it is
unhappy, time appears to be too long. When the mind expands, when it is happy, time
appears to be too short. When there is no mind that is no thoughts or emotions, it transcends
time .When the mind is dull or unconscious, it is unable to experience itself. When the mind
is excited or happy, time seems to be too short and when the mind is miserable, time seems
to be too long. Many resort to alcohol, sleep etc. Samadhi, no-mindedness or timelessness, is
peace, the Real peace. That is the greatest healer. Time is the greatest healer. Just like the
mind experiences time, this moment has a mind of its own, a Big Mind which has enormous
and infinite organizing power. Thought is nothing but a ripple in this moment, and thus a few
moments of no mind state gives the mind a lot of energy. Before you fall into slumber or as
soon as you wake up from sleep, in the moments of twilight of Consciousness, experience
the timelessness, because ewe feel 8 hours just like as flicker of a moment.
2. Time is Relative:
One explanation of Einstein's relativity theory: When you sit with a pretty girl for two
hours you think it's only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it's
two hours. That's relativity.
RelationbetweenTime, Mind and Consciousness
Time is not a fundamental physical reality like matter, energy and physical space.
Time exists only when we measure it; time is a mind model into which one
experience irreversible stream of material change that runs into space. Mind is creating
time; consciousness has ability to watch time as a mind model.
With eyes we perceive irreversible stream of material change that runs into atemporal
space. Mind elaborates perception of material change into model of linear time, than we
experience it. material change – eyes – mind elaboration in time – experience
Consciousness has ability to watch, to witness this process.
What is time perception?
Time perception is a field of study within psychology, cognitive linguistics and
neuroscience that refers to the subjective experience, or sense, of time, which is measured by
someone's own perception of the duration of the indefinite and unfolding of events.
Tachypsychia is a neurological condition that alters the perception of time, usually induced
by physical exertion, drug use, or a traumatic event. It is sometimes referred to by martial
arts instructors and self-defence experts as the Techy Psyche effect.
How to improve your perception of time naturally?
Bring freshness into life:
Children's are so fresh and energetic. Time passes slowly for children in part because
everything they’re seeing, doing, experiencing, smelling, hearing, and tasting is new and
takes up a larger portion of their memory. They’ve only just arrived on this plane of
existence and their brains are working overtime to process an abundance of novelty. Each
experience is fascinating.
In other words, doing the same routine every day barely registers in the brain. You
don’t notice it. You don’t remember doing it. Thus, entire days are lost. When mind does not
perceive or experience new or different patterns in life, Time moves fast for it.
Moving on is Motivation:
3. Moving on with awareness is simply motivation. If you are motivated and moving on
consciously than your speed of working increases .Everyone knows that the faster you move
through space, the slower time unfolds. We see this in sci-fi movies about astral explorers
aging more slowly on interstellar journeys, but there’s no reason it doesn’talso work on a
local, micro level, even if just barely and mostly imperceptibly.
Work intelligently rather than mechanically:
When you work smartly and intelligently your ability to acquire knowledge or
information increases. Stop walking into fixed patterns or like as a robot. The more you walk
intelligently the more you save time. Stop multitasking and give your total while doing any
specific job. Multitasking only makes time perception speed up, and it doesn’t even improve
productivity.
Set achievable targets:
Lot of experiments has been done in this regard. One experiment has been done with
two different groups. One group has been assigned a task but without any specific target.
Another group also assigned the same task but with specific target. The group who were not
with target took very long Time to complete and their perfection was not also up to the mark.
The other group whom target has been assigned, they finished the work with more
perfection. Achievable targets with a relaxed mind changes to experience the way mind
perceive the time.
Don't be addictive of anything:
Addictions are those actions which force you to execute them either unconsciously or
mechanically. Drugs, alcohols and even addition of mobile phone also speed up your
perceived experience of time. So many times you used or spent hours together with social
media on mobiles phones and you don’tremember.
Addiction of anything makes you automatic and this automation in your nature speed
up the brain time and you lose too much of your valuable time of your life.
Also know How Repetition Becomes Addiction
Keep a consistentcheck:
Always keeps on checking your present state of mind with the help of self-
observation. Keeps on asking questions from the self and you find yourself in worry, anger,
stress or with negative emotions, observe it and meditate to transform. This simple consistent
checking will not improve your time management but you will feel new joy and peace with
same hours in the day.
Reduce Traffic of Mind:
4. Reduce traffic of thoughts as much as you can to feel no mind state to actually
and spontaneously perceive the real time which is always this moment rest is all part
of memory or either past or future, with which you cannot do anything. No mind
moments of your life makes you more creative .successful and fast.
So have a nice time always.
