Changing Time

by Linda Heron Wind, Ph.D.

Oh where are those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer? Well, hazy maybe, crazy for sure, but lazy? I think not! Again I find myself contemplating the nature of time. I use to think that time speeds up as we get older - a perceptual thing - but when I first heard that time is shifting as the vibrations of Earth increases, I reconsidered that notion. Now I believe that time has compressed or speeded up a couple of times during the 90's and has just done so again this summer. After the time shifts in the 90's, an hour was the same as 20 minutes use to be prior to the shifts. I am not sure what ratio we are working on now, but it is fast.

That said, it is important to be aware that time, as we know it, only exists in the third dimension. Higher dimensions are not organized by time. This leads to interesting shifts in our perception of time as we shift our own vibration and enter higher dimensions of consciousness. Two people can be in the same physical space but experience time differently depending on their state of consciousness. Even within a day we might find our experience of time speeding along when we are totally in the third dimension and seeming endless when we enter the fifth dimension.

I find myself struggling some days in the grips of third dimensional time. The more I hurry, trying to catch up with it, the faster it seems to run. Only when I stop, settle my mind, and center myself in a higher dimension do I feel peaceful rhythms returning again, and then time slows down. Because so many people around us are trapped in third dimensional time right now, its power to suck us in is enormous. The illusion of time is a powerful magician that weaves its web within our minds. The mind likes times orderly and linear progression, yet even the mind becomes overwhelmed with its hectic pace.

How to become the master of time, now that is the question! As you free yourself of the third dimensional illusion, time seems to expand and contract as needed. When traveling, for example, you might wish to contract time so the journey is shorter, or so you can make it somewhere "on time." Or you might expand time to be able to get more done. Such is possible if your consciousness is vibrating at a higher level. So the first step in mastering time is to raise your consciousness, then you can make choices about how to experience time.

Simple steps you can take when time seems to be running you ragged are the following:

Stop whatever you are doing for a short time and breathe
Step outside into nature and observe its pace
Take a moment to observe your mind to see if it is quiet or talking
Tune into any one of your senses - sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and notice its experience in the moment
Gaze at the moon and notice how slowly it moves
Drum a slow heart beat

All natural rhythms generally operate at a slower pace than human consciousness at this time. Most of us live and work in places that shut out rhythms of nature that normally would stabilize our minds. Being out in nature or connecting with our body rhythms allows our minds to entrain to the slower rhythms and our consciousness can then move to higher dimensions where timelessness abounds. It is another one of those spiritual paradoxes - to move to a higher vibration, we must slow down. Then we can choose our relationship with time.

The master of time
Knows when to slow down and wait
For time to notice
