Enlightenment In Relation To Time

[Arkandeus]

time has always been an essential perspective for me to approach my enlightenment. 

And now it has allowed me to understand a few things that I'd like to share. 

As time dispels for me I want to give an example :
When I walk on the street for let's say 10 minutes, whereas before this would feel effectively like 10 minutes, this now feels more like 20 to 30 minutes. 

It works just like lets say if you went on holyday and went to a new location, for a day you see buildings and places you've never seen before, you meet new people. 
At the end you'd feel like you went through so much and that day would feel much longer then let's say your average monday at work or school. 
this seems to be ''logical'', like you went to a new place, so you experienced more, so of course you feel like the experience was longer. 

There's no ''logic'' in this, the present moment is full on magical, time never existed, to be more present is to be more aware of what is, but also of things that never were there. 
My walks are now experienced in entirely different ways, the sounds, the sights, the random events, it's hard to explain but the most fitting word is magic.

Where I want to get at is the reason why it's so important to not be attached to things and desires. 
For me to enlighten is to slowly grow closer to the unity of the universe, which exists in timelessness and infinity. 

I used to think : ''why is it necessary to be so attached to my desires, why can't I have what I want right now?''
But as you enlighten, you approach timelessness, meaning there is way more space in your life between events. 

if you finish work and you can't wait to get home to do what you love, before it wouldn't take long to get home, it's just a regular commute. 
But now that commute is not regular, it feels much much longer. 

Those small intervals in life that seems to connect us to the next event, like commute to work, or waiting in line at the doctor, doing paperwork, taking the bus, those small moments start to grow huge and intense, they stop being a connection to the next thing and become something entirely in themselves as they they are infused with more and more time. 
that space in your life, those moments with little stimulation grow bigger.

If you have for example someone you love, whereas before the time when you are separated from that person feels ok, now that time is immense and magnified,it's the same ''physical time'' but it's 4 or 5 times longer.
can you imagine whereas as before if you wave goodbye to your loved one in the morning instead of seeing her/him in 8 hours at the end of the workday it now feels like 45 hours later? 
if you have great attachments to that person it will be glaringly painful, which is why your higher self will not allow you that pouring in of time in your life like that unless you're truly ready to accept being separated from your loved one.   

it is needed to be detached from desires in a way that allows timelessness to seep into your life without breaking you mentally. 

it truly inspires respect when you realize that if you sat with your favourite enlightened teacher together in a room for let's say an hour, you might've sat in that room for an hour, but your teacher sat there for 2 hours, or 3 hours, or seven hours psychologically compared to you.

it also allows one to understand why enlightened people are so magnetic, why they are so full of love. 
because they live in planes closer to timelessness when they you attention they really, give you their full, undivided attention, an attention that stretches time and space. 

I'm only in the beginnings to understand how this work, but this sort of attention is incredibly intimate and loving.
you are the sole object of their focus, they don't have any desire or goal beyond this moment, beyond being involved with your being, you are literally the height of their life as they talk to you, and they are completely absorbed by you, beyond your sense of time.

Anyhow it is why I personally highlight that detachment from desire and things in your life has a very real purpose in allowing you to be able to mentally tolerate more timelessness.
