I Think I Really Understand 'timelessness'.

7 posts in this topic

I was in the kitchen making coffee and thinking about time. And thinking about the word 'timeless'. 

Oh yeah, I was thinking about the word 'infinite' as well. I just got on it because the phrase 'timeless and infinite' has sort of settled into my vocabulary lately.  Who thinks about the real meaning of these words? 

Before, even when I tried watching pretty dumbed-down science documentaries on time and space on Youtube, the time thing just seemed foreign the way they talked about it and I couldn't grasp most of it and I couldn't tie it in with some of the other cosmos type of stuff that I did 'get' for the most part. 

This time though, I was standing at the kitchen sink, frozen with a coffee cup in one hand, puzzling out time by saying the words over and over to myself and trying to attach meaning to them. Infinite...............infinite..............infinite........       ........timeless............... timeless...............timeless. So I started with the language thing by definition.

 'Timeless' 

Without time.      ....Trying to live in the moment or concieve how you can practically be more and more in the moment has me wanting to understand what I am manipulating my perception of, to be more in the moment. I am so new at advancing my perception of time. 

'Timeless'

Without time. Right? If I am clueless I am without a clue, if I am helpless, I am without help, if I am timeless I am without time.

The proper, exact opposite of 'timeless' is 'with time'. 

Now, if I am 'within time' at all in my perception, not my 'true nature' basic awareness, I am not without time. 

So I see that it truly is down to increments of time. The further apart you perceive these false increments of time, the less 'in the moment' you are, and subsequently less aware of every subsequent solitary reality that is in fact, incrementless. Or the perceived increments have gotten so tiny...

9 or 10 days aqo I wouldn't have been thinking about this, let alone following a logic stream effortlessly to a conclusion in this natural manner.

My ego was totally aghast. Ha haaa, me standing in the kitchen with an empty coffee cup in hand going from the 'Full Picard face palm' to the 'girl gasps as her hand flies to cover her mouth' actions. 

My mind is already expanding somewhat. Certainly somewhat remarkably for me, holee. Can you tell I'm having fun?

Or am I just really really slow and most people knew this this way all along?

Or... did I convolute everything and get it wrong, or some aspect of that definition fails?

This gets so interesting and so strange, I'm likely overthinking everything at this time?

Shit, this time just turned into this time, that just turned into this time... and only the best , smallest increment I can perceive is reality.

Down the rabbit hole pretty good this time...

Yes, you're overthinking. You had an amazing glimpse, and now mind is trying to make sense of it (and hijacking it) with concepts.

Have you ever considered that there never was such thing as time? That this moment as it is, is timeless already? 

What we call "time" is really in reference to the flow of experience. Experience is always moving. What it occurs in is the immovable now. When has it ever been not-now?

No need to answer, just take a look in your direct experience! ;)

Cheers.

Trying to keep the blinders off.

Striving to remain awake and aware.

Trying to notice when 'unpacking my experience' = 'constructing concepts and feeling that they are right, or pretty close.' = very close to very complete illusion.

I say very close to very complete illusion because I saw the illusion for what it was. I don't, and could not, forget that, but I am a fucking MASTER of distraction. Oh man, if only the paycheque was based on how fully and completely and quickly I am able to distract myself from my real nature.

I realized that time is just a concept while walking, I see trees, clouds in the horizon, birds, mountain, what happen was it's just click of me that "oh all physical matter in this universe are changing including my body, but it all happen in a big moment called "Now", and the clock's time is just human invention! I realized also that the universe created  brain who's thinking right now, so literally the whole infinite universe is my body. ..holy sh** that was amazing feeling.
