Time Compression

[Fred Steeves]

Lots of talk here and there about how we are perceiving time these days. Strangely I'm feeling it increasingly more slowly, but also much more rapidly. For instance, any given day can seem to last almost forever, it will never end, until suddenly the sun is setting. At that point it's like: "That was so darn quick, did it really even happen? Did I remember to comb my hair?" (LOL) That's when this term "time compression" runs through my mind.

The best I can describe what feels like "time compression", is if time were sand, it would be the equivalent of somehow cramming a dump truck full of sand, into a typical kitchen garbage can. There is literally a feeling of crushing physical density to it, if that makes any sense...The story of when Narada came to Vishnu, although not about time per say, sums it up rather nicely:


When Narada came to Vishnu and said, 'What is the secret of
your maya?' Vishnu took him and threw him into a pool. The moment he fell under
the water he was born as a princess in a very great family, and went through all
the experiences of childhood as a little girl. She finally married a prince from
another kingdom and went to live with him in his kingdom. They lived there in
tremendous prosperity, with palaces and peacocks, but suddenly there was a war
and their kingdom was attacked and utterly destroyed. The prince himself was
killed in battle, and he was cremated. As a dutiful wife, the princess was about
to throw herself weeping on to the funeral pyre and burn herself in an act of
suttee or self-sacrifice. But suddenly Narada woke to find himself being pulled
out of the pool by his hair by Vishnu, who said, 'For whom were you weeping?'...

I also have a sense that this phenomena is not just for show, or just to notice, but that it represents a very real and useful application in this reality, which is there for the taking. It is simply up to us to figure it out.

I know many of you are experiencing weird time things too, and I'm always most interested in what Avalonians have to say in these matters, so please tell me what you think.

Cheers,
Fred

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

Cause still precedes effect. The mechanics of our illusion are still intact ;)

In any given day, the numbers of causes and effects are broadly similar, but somehow, our perception of time passing changes.

I too have noticed this, and I think it is to do with what frame of mind you are in.

The experience of passing time seems proportional to your average state of consciousness over the time-frame being observed.

1 qestion .... how u can masure an illusion?:pout:

[SilentFeathers]

You brought this to my mind again with your OP....


Prophecy of the Rattlesnake

The Stars above and its configurations hold TIME UNTIME within its grasp upon all life. As all cultures sustain a Zodiac system written upon Time Untime so also the Chickamaugan Cherokee of the Americas hold also an Ancient Zodiac of the heavens.

Within the Zodiac of the Heavens of the Chickamauga Cherokee are etched Ancient designs written upon and within the lines of seeing. The Cherokee Zodiac is alive and moves and spins upon the rings of TIME UNTIME. As the main outline remains its hold and is stationed in the sky of stars its movement within that frozen outline does indeed change with the movements of the other elements. Elements within the rotations planets, stars, and bodies of the heavens. As other cultures station their Zodiac as a permanent fixture the Cherokee Zodiac morphs or changes and becomes as if ALIVE. Always Alive, breaths, lives, and takes upon each constellation its own deeming of things, Time, Untime, and among those things, Prophecy.

The Constellations of the Chickamaugan Cherokee are 13 fold which contain the characterizations of mainly animals. Among the many design configurations seen written upon the stars are the designs of animals, objects, and many other elements of TIME UNTIME. The figures of the sky are totally different from other cultures of the Zodiac except for a rare few which seem to be similar. The only one which seems to relative to similarity is found within the Cherokee Constellation Scorpion and Snake and this in relation to others as Scorpio and Serpent.

This is the story of only one of those constellations. This is of the Cherokee Constellation Rattlesnake. And within this one Constellation is found a PROPHECY. Within the Rattlesnake of the Heavens is found TIME UNTIME foretold since the dawn of TIME.

In the sky is found the figure of a Snake. And upon this snake it is the outline of a Rattlesnake. Sometimes the Serpent and the Rattlesnake take on its bearing of one or the other but the Snake of the Rattlesnake is ITS design.

The Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation is not like other cultures of the world. The Cherokee Rattlesnake in the Heavens has a head and winds itself back and forth with its body as in sidewinding itself to its tail. The boundary of the Rattlesnake is unlike the boundaries of other Zodiac cultures. In the Heavens the Pleiades Star System is found as the tip of the Rattlesnake tail.

The Rattlesnake of the Cherokee is very sacred and its sacredness is written even in the Heavens. Upon the mouth of the Rattlesnake is found 52 scales. These scales in number of 52 is written upon the Calendar of the Cherokee and upon the wheels and rings of TIME UNTIME. The Calendar of the Cherokee spins upon wheels and rings as a sophisticated dating system. A dating system that not only tells TIME of events, people, places, and things but also a very holy and sacred element within the Cherokee culture itself of ALL THINGS.

The Rattlesnake can sometimes be imaged as a serpent. To be a Serpent or to be the Rattlesnake depends on the knowing of the TIMES and TIMES of TIME UNTIME. To know the culture of the Cherokee and its Ancient design upon LIFE. One MUST know the things of TIME UNTIME in order to place the constellation as a Rattlesnake or a Serpent. But this is another story.

The stationary outline is always of the Rattlesnake. However upon the wheels of the Cherokee calendar is also found when where how what who in its changing and transformation. The transformation is not the changing of the shape of the Rattlesnake but the addition or subtraction of elements upon the snake itself. These things also tell the tales of the universe and all its bearing of what was, what is, and to be.

On the Cherokee Calendar a great thing is foretold of things about to take shape within all things upon the earth, the heavens, and the universe. And the Rattlesnake Constellation is one of those which speaks as a voice of TIME UNTIME of things to be.

Upon the Cherokee Calendar Rings and written in the Star Constellation Rattlesnake is a prophecy of TIME UNTIME.

And so it is thus foretold ....

When the Earth sees the fingers of Spearfinger strike Jupiter, when the ages of the Rings and wheels tell it is the ending of the ages of cycles of 5, this will be the sign for the whole earth, for all the earth will see this thing, to wake up from sleep. These fingers that stuck Jupiter was the comet fragments that hit Jupiter in the 1990s and the whole earth took of is majesty. This was the sign foretold on the Calendar for the Cherokee people to WAKE UP to come out of sleep.

The Cherokee Calendar also speaks its voice telling that at this time of the fingers striking Jupiter that Orion Star System will awaken. And the Pleiades and Orion will war once again as in old. Jupiter and Venus will awaken to its destiny of TIME UNTIME of cycles. Orion will WAR with Pleadies, Jupiter will WAR with Venus. The time of the Cherokee UKU's will be at hand.

In the year 2004 and 2012 an alignment will take place both on the Cherokee Calendar and in the heavens of the Rattlesnake Constellation both. It is the time of the doublehead serpent stick. It is the time of the Red of Orion and Jupiter against White Blue of Pleadies and Venus. It is the time of the Uku's choosing. It is the time of the Beloved Woman and MYSTERIES OF TIME UNTIME. It is the Time Untime of the THUNDERBOLT and the spirits of Lightning Mountains.

In the year 2004 and 2012 the Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation will take on a different configuration. The Snake itself will remain, however, upon the Rattlesnake shall be added upon its head feathers, its eyes will open and glow, wings spring forth as a winged Rattlesnake, it shall have hands and arms and in its hands shall be found a bowl. The bowl will hold blood. Upon its tail of 7 rattles shall be the glowing and movement of Pleiades.

The Rattlesnake shall become a FEATHERED RATTLESNAKE or FEATHERED SERPENT of TIME UNTIME.

And upon the Rattlesnake is also the Milky Way. A crossing of the Milky Way shall be seen at these times.

For the center of the Universe is what many know as the Constellation Sagittarius by modern man. But upon this constellation of is also found the Pleiades Star system which is what is different in the boundary of others and the Cherokee Zodiac.

The Milky Way is ALSO a Tree ... STONE TREE. And upon Stone Tree is as a Tree with a tree trunk, branches, a top, and even roots. The Flower and the Tree is also a tassel as corn. And upon the flower and the tree is the TREE OF LIFE. REBIRTH, RENEWAL, NEW.

And the Cherokee Calendar shall end in the year 2012. But upon the times just prior shall be the Feathered Serpent and its prophecy.

Upon the Heavens design, within the Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation, it is written. And upon the Rings of TIME UNTIME of the Cherokee Calendar it also says BEHOLD RATTLESNAKE CONSTELATION. And Remember.

The Rings of the Cherokee Calendar are read by the winding motion of the Rattlesnake. To Add or to subtract TIME UNTIME. To MOVE the Wheels backward or forward, to add a wheel to move the rings, to tell the tale what was, what is, and to be. The Rattlesnake and it design tells the movement of the RINGS OF TIME.

And in the sky heavens the motions of the movement of stars, planets, and life tell the tale of its bearing. For all is as the winding of the Rattlesnake. And in the year 2004 the Morning Star shall be first and in the year 2012 the Evening Star shall be first. And upon those years the crown of the Feathered Serpent shall bear its colors and honor. The hands shall hold the bowl and the tail shall be as the roots of a Tree, The Pleaides Tree of the beginning.

And in the Year 2004 and 2012 shall be the TIME UNTIME of the Feathered Serpent of the Sky Heavens. And the Rings shall turn upon those years of prophecy foretold on the Rings of TIME UNTIME. And Ywahoo Falls Kentucky shall sing of Venus and the Feathered Rattlesnake.

For this is not all the prophecy not all the things thereof. For if it was meant for one to know and I give only part, then you have received a great gift. For if I tell all and it was not meant for one to know then I have waisted my breath. For this is a sacred thing, the Venus Alignment and the Feathered Serpent of the Heavens.

And in the Year 2012 the Cherokee Calendar Ends. And all is reborn. For the Feathered Rattlsnake comes and shall be seen in the heavens in the year 2004 to 2012.

In the south of the americas ... it is related as the coming of Quetzalcoatl. The Ancient Cherokee relate it as the coming of the Pale One once again.

The Rattlesnake Constelation shall appear with the Venus Alignment. The Stars of the Heavens of the Cherokee Zodiac, the Rings of the Calendar, and The Venus Alignment tell the story of a Chickamaugan Prophecy. For they all are aligned in the year 2004 to 2012.

Interesting "story" anyways....Time Untime, strange concept :)

....and yes, I am noticing"weird" things with time lately too, everythings speeding up in my opinion.

[daveywales]

When I was 12 years old my mates and I had rigged up a tree swing that swung out over a large sandstone drop. When you were out at full extension of the rope looking below all you could see was the tops of trees.
I knew instinctively I was going to fall off the swing very soon but I did not want to appear chicken in front of my gang and some females were gathering to watch this lunacy. As I swung out I knew I was going to lose my grip which I did. Then (I sure most of you have heard of this) time slowed down to give me chance to think and plan my landing. I knew I had to keep upright and head for the top of a tree to break my fall. It seemed like I was in the air for an eternity but as soon as I hit the tree time went back to normal speed. The tree broke my fall and I ended up with just a sprained ankle. Time slowing down to save my life has happened later on in my life so I have two consciouss excamples of it.
Now I feel time has speeded up (not helped by the shortening of days) but it seems I am getting ready for bed not long after I got up!! Also world/weather events seem to be speeding up accelerating to a climax which seconds before 11.11am GMT on the 21st if in meditation we will have so much time compressed into mill-seconds-we all should feel a shift. Hope it's more profound. Hope aliens land...... but we can't have it all...yet

Heartfelt thanks Fred to Emphasized Time.

Almost 800 yrs ago to the year, as Tesla with his Pigeons, As First Nations and their Surroundings, As Claire Feminine Breast Milk or today Environment Solidaires and Émerging Economical Coordination Mutualists in Meso-Economy, Francis of Assisi despite the harsh hate of the Pope, the Vatican and the Khalife inherited such a huge amount of Putative Authority that none could stop Him all above ones or Mornachic ones.

None would stop Him except one being name Claire, (Clear) and Together sang then as a neighbor here has sung decades ago, I'll be Yours to Command and Obey all Demands.

Without Fears, Without Aversions they succeeded in enshrining the Integrer of Integrity, Autogene Timeless Time prior Truth , True at the beginning, True in the Past, Presently True and certainly True in what we still for awhile conceive as the Future.

In a Nutshell, Space, Matter, Environment, Energy and Love as a Pure Seed has become a Tree in a provisional Jail whose branches grew and grew towards Light and inevitably broke barred windows and still stretching towards Lischtig.

Many, free of the Denial Spirit, intimately know that Time, Destiny, Daisen is enshrine in all of everything and that with Daring to Care with Love, Empathy manifest is now unfolding in Minds (Sky) as on this scorned Earth.

It is indeed True that the Future ain't what it used to be no long ago coz we can witness the unfolding of a new Mind, a New Sky and a New Earth, a NeoSphere.

Thanks you Fred for your kind words when I came back few days ago and for those of Today.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia,
formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck,
bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry.

"Love Is All Around" is a song composed by Reg Presley and
originally performed by Presley's band, The Troggs, in D-major
in 1967. Purportedly inspired by a television transmission of the
Joy Strings Salvation Army band's "Love That's All Around",the
song was first released as a single in the UK in October 1967.
On the UK Singles Chart, the record debuted at No.50 on
18 October 1967, peaked at No.5 on 22 November 1967, and
spent 15 weeks on chart. On the US Billboard Hot 100, the
record entered at No.98 on 24 February 1968, peaking at No.7
on 18 May 1968, and spending a total of 16 weeks on the chart.
This version features a string quartet and a 'tick tock' sound on
percussion.

"Love is All Around" has been covered by numerous artists,
including R.E.M., with whom the Troggs subsequently recorded
their 1992 comeback album Athens Andover. R.E.M.'s cover was
a B-side on their 1991 "Radio Song" single, and they also played
it during their first appearance at MTV's Unplugged series that same
year. Wet Wet Wet's cover, for the soundtrack to the 1994 film Four
Weddings and a Funeral, was an international hit and spent 15 weeks
at number one in the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics:

I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I cannot get to thinking
Of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me,
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend

It's written in the wind oh
And everywhere I go
So if you really love me,
love me, love me

Come on and let it show oh
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on, Come on, Come on,
Come on let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show


Songtext for All man und fûr mein Deutsch Freunds

Ich fühle es in meinen Fingern,
ich fühle es in meinen Zehen.
Die Liebe ist überall,
und so wachsen die Gefühle.

Es steht im Wind geschrieben,
es ist überall wo ich hingehe.
Also, wenn du mich wirklich liebst,
dann los, zeige es mir.

Du weißt, dass ich dich liebe, ich werde es immer tun.
Durch die Art und Weise, wie ich fühle, habe ich einen Entschluss gefasst.
Es gibt keinen Anfang und es wird kein Ende geben,
denn auf meine Liebe kannst du dich verlassen.

Ich sehe dein Gesicht vor mir
wenn ich in meinem Bett liege.
An all die Worte, die du sagtest,
kann ich mich nicht erinnern.
Du gabst mir dein Versprechen,
und ich gab dir meins.
Ich brauch jemanden an meiner Seite,
bei allem was ich tue.

Du weißt, dass ich dich liebe, ich werde es immer tun.
Durch die Art und Weise, wie ich fühle, hab ich einen Entschluss gefasst.
Es gibt keinen Anfang und es wird kein Ende geben,
denn auf meine Liebe kannst du dich verlassen.

Es steht im Wind geschrieben,

Also, wenn du mich wirklich liebst,
dann los, zeig es mir.
dann los, zeig es mir.

Ok, so I got a good "time" story.

I have noticed, at least for me, that time is behaving wildly as of late. I think back to some memories of ten years ago and think, "was that ten years ago? it feels like yesterday!" and other memories from a year or two ago make me feel like the happened lifetimes ago. I fully accept that time is not linear, and it appears once you do this, it occasionally doesn't even seem linear at all. We are all actually timeless, having an experience in time, so we can see inside our minds -- over time, the range of what qualities we have, and make adjustments when we come to these realizations -- this is the learning process that spirituality relates to. Time is an integral part of this process -- it is a mechanism of learning. The more one learns (especially at speed) the more time and "environment" changes to match the learning ... ;) I believe humanity is "learning" ;)

Without getting too far ahead of myself, let me share an interesting story that happened to me recently:

I was sitting at my desk, talking to another manager at work who had come over to discuss some things. Suddenly, I had this weird fuzzy feeling and my vision sort of went blurry, and I must have developed a shocked look on my face. My co-worker noticed this and quickly inquired if I was ok. I said, "just give me a sec" While I let it play out. I felt as though a different "reality" was creeping in and my perceptions changed. I was still aware of when and where I really was but another reality had merged - one where my co-workers were different and such. After it was over I said to my co-worker. "The most strange thing just happened," I said, "things were different for just a moment, and you were a woman! Well not that YOU were a woman, but you weren't here and a woman was doing your job, and other things were different just for a moment there." He rather laughed at me, and the day continued on. I was a little perplexed by all that.

Exactly one year later the exact same thing happened to me, except by this time, my co-worker had been let go from his job and we had replaced him with a woman -- the woman I had perceived in the past "incident"! I had forgotten completely about this incident but when I reflected, everything that I perceived from this other "reality" that had merged in my first incident, was now real! Everything was exact. It was actually like my consciousness had somehow punched through or fallen into some time warp bubble and I was perceiving TWO separate time-frames in ONE incidence. This blew my mind, and still does to this day when I think of it. It really made me think about our perception of time as not having to be linear, and that we are truly beyond linear time. Perhaps this ability is a yet another natural human ability that has been purged from our consciousness, therefore we cannot "real-ize" it. My 2 cents ;)

Lots of talk here and there about how we are perceiving time these days. Strangely I'm feeling it increasingly more slowly, but also much more rapidly.

My whole family has been experiencing this and we've been talking about it as well. I started a thread a few weeks/months? back called "the quickening" or something like that but the speed and the "feeling" of speeding up has increased, it seems.

I've experienced time anomalies where effect preceded cause!

I was being "helped" to catch a train which was impossible to do given the time it was, but some magic happened, and then on that train I was able to help someone else.

Freak out, but I got use to strange things happening now and just let it ride.

You know what's hilarious? Is that I often relish the opportunity to remind my lovely wife that in essence, there actually is no time or space. But when this concept begins to actually merge with day to day "reality", I find myself contemplating something along the lines of: "Oh boy, this s**t's for real". http://nexus.2012info.ca/forum/images/smilies/newadditions/unsure.gif

My thoughts exactly Fred, the great thing about Avalon as opposed to the day to day personal interactions with people, I need to say so little here, others say what I think, makes it easy.

Dylan Thomas, from Under Milk Wood:


You can hear the dew falling, and the hushed town breathing.

Only your eyes are unclosed to see the black and folded town fast, and slow, asleep.

And you alone can hear the invisible starfall, the darkest-before- dawn minutely dewgrazed stir of the black, dab-filled sea where the Arethusa, the Curlew and the Skylark, Zanzibar, Rhiannon, the Rover, the Cormorant, and the Star of Wales tilt and ride.

Listen. It is night moving in the streets, the processional salt slow musical wind in Coronation Street and Cockle Row, it is the grass growing on Llareggub Hill, dewfall, starfall, the sleep of birds in Milk Wood.

Listen. It is night in the chill, squat chapel, hymning in bonnet and brooch and bombazine black, butterfly choker and bootlace bow, coughing like nannygoats, suckling mintoes, fortywinking hallelujah; night in the four-ale, quiet as a domino; in Ocky Milkman's lofts like a mouse with gloves; in Dai Bread's bakery flying like black flour. It is to-night in Donkey Street, trotting silent, with seaweed on its hooves, along the cockled cobbles, past curtained fernpot, text and trinket, harmonium, holy dresser, watercolours done by hand, china dog and rosy tin teacaddy. It is night neddying among the snuggeries of babies.

Look. It is night, dumbly, royally winding though the Coronation cherry trees; going through the graveyard of Bethesda with winds gloved and folded, and dew doffed; tumbling by the Sailors Arms.

Time passes. Listen. Time passes.

Come closer now.

First a hitchhikers reference THEN a Star Trek reference? If we've ever disagreed on here I humbly retract my arguments.

May have to call the department of temporal investigations, or get section 31 involved ...

Enough thread hijacking from me. Carry on!

[Finefeather]

I have thought often of time and what I still find fascinating is that we are actually in an expanding spiral universe so time would expand as we move away from the center and then again contract one day when we move back to the center.
Does anyone have any maths on this phenomena? it might be interesting. So if we imagine radiating lines from the center we can see that the distance between these imaginary lines would be increasing or decreasing depending where you are from the center.

The other more esoteric idea is that time is a product of your relationship with you own black hole or singularity, which means that time would speed up as we become more enlightened and visa versa. This could also explain the ability to move in and out of different time frames and why some can notice more time anomalies than others.

Love you all

Great Musical call, Bram. That's pretty much perfect.

YES... time for me is going by even faster then previously... the day goes by increasingly faassttttt------many moments i wish i could just pause time so i can do my thing ON MY TIME.

It even flies by at work! and usually we all know how "time" would still b slow while at work, so it gives me a sense tht definitely "somethings" accelerating...anything tht takes me hours to do i really have to prioritize because it takes most of the day?? Like a post tht may take an hour to read--forget about it---unless something of the utmost importance--

There's an internal "clock" thts changing no doubt!~ What will it b like if it "speeds" much quicker?



Theres also some other difference im experiencing with "time" but i cant explain it yet...almost like there's an expansion experience, when i spend an hour with someone it seems like it went deeper then tht---like i spent much more time with the individual then just an hour?--hard to explain

[PurpleLama]

I've often had the feeling, Time is on my side.

Sometimes I have arrived at work in the morning, about the time that I left home, leaving me a half hour to sit and smoke, and either meditate or plunk around the forum.

I've experienced time anomalies where effect preceded cause!

I was being "helped" to catch a train which was impossible to do given the time it was, but some magic happened, and then on that train I was able to help someone else.

Freak out, but I got use to strange things happening now and just let it ride.

I go with the Captain Janeway philosophy...
"My advice on making sense of temporal paradoxes is simple: don't even try."
--(Startrek Voyager, Season 5, Ep 6 "Timeless")

First a hitchhikers reference THEN a Star Trek reference? If we've ever disagreed on here I humbly retract my arguments.

May have to call the department of temporal investigations, or get section 31 involved ...

Enough thread hijacking from me. Carry on!


Thanks :)

Actually you sort of tangentially hit a point that needs making. Time is ABSTRACT. The more we can get some abstract concepts labelled and understood the easier it is to think about.

Ultimately all paradox is solved, but the frame of reference is outside our finite mental scope.

[DeDukshyn]

I have thought often of time and what I still find fascinating is that we are actually in an expanding spiral universe so time would expand as we move away from the center and then again contract one day when we move back to the center.
Does anyone have any maths on this phenomena? it might be interesting. So if we imagine radiating lines from the center we can see that the distance between these imaginary lines would be increasing or decreasing depending where you are from the center.

The other more esoteric idea is that time is a product of your relationship with you own black hole or singularity, which means that time would speed up as we become more enlightened and visa versa. This could also explain the ability to move in and out of different time frames and why some can notice more time anomalies than others.

Hello Ray, I concur;

The trilogy by Ken Carey - specifically "The Third Millennium" by Ken Carey is all about this switch in direction between this expansion and contraction. It is referred to in the series as a "nano-second of Non-Time". I'll throw out some wild stuff here and say this point in time, the way it is described in the said texts, is the event that Christians refer to as the "Second Coming". It is also referred to as "The Return of the Men of Wisdom", "The rising of the Phoenix", and a few other references - depending on what religion or part of the world one is from. I have two posts that reference this, I made while just exploring possibilities based on many dots I have been able to at least loosely connect. Not "gospel", but considerations ... ;)

Hey Deduks..Did you mean, the Second Coming of Christ, as in a Return?...cycle after cycle...yes, like a clock...
Your words made my mind spin and stretch to the second coming meaning the tick of one second to zero-point: unity consciousness. no separation

If time appears to be speeding up, would that mean we are in a universe that is contracting? (and not expanding as one poster suggested)...

Tired now thinking about time...
Time for sleep

That's rather how I see it lunaflare, the great inbreath so to speak. Ray(Finefeather) put it very well in an earlier post. This coin funnel I think lends a fairly adaquate interpretation of our time phenomena as well.

I'm not an expert in how time behaves but I know it behaves somewhat like a fluid by observation and experience. There is a relationship between human (collective) consciousness, time and space; but exactly what that relationship between each of those three is something I am not exactly sure about (although I could speculate a lot ;)). In the Ken Carey texts I mentioned, it is said that our observations while separated from Source create Space, and the duration of said observations creates Time. So I see space, time, and consciousness as all intermingled. To me, it would seem that the vibrational distance from Source would dictate the speed of time, but there may be other influences (like "direction"). The text say we are upon that midpoint between expansion and contraction - the point of the start of the contraction -- how that relates to the speed of time, I am not sure. It is also said that this midpoint will not occur at the same time in all parts of the Universe.

It only makes sense to me that the "Second Coming", "Rising of the Phoenix", "Return of the Men of Wisdom", and whatever way this event appears to be "labelled" as all refers to the same event, everyone just has a slightly (or vastly) different take on what it is. ;)

Elaboration: To further answer your question, I would see the switch from expanding universe to contracting, as a symbol of the start of the return to Source within our own consciousness. The point of "non-time" between the expansion and contraction creates a pause in our consciousness - a Point in time where the Creators consciousness can slip in. "The return of the Men of Wisdom"-(per Mayans), explains it all fairly well without religious connotations.

Is this date the 21st? Who knows. But if we know the date then the statement "...like a thief in the night" may not be fully accurate, or vice versa.

If this topic interests you greatly, send me an email and I can give you a PDF of a book that may be relevant to you. ;)

My 2 cents ;)

Back to topic I guess ;)

[markpierre]

This might help you; Consider 'time' as change. Comparison is the operative. As change in your awareness accelerates
so does your perception of the time it takes. Measuring time is a habit. A mental trick that we've learned. But that comparative
thinking is the factor that keeps the mind from experiencing the present moment. It's an issue of focus, and where the focus is spent.
Memory apart from being undependable, is about something that doesn't exist. Extremely slow way to experience change.
The less you measure time through comparisons, that less you'll experience it's passage.

In any kind of process work, you're accelerating change in yourself and your perception. What could have taken years or even lifetimes
to view from every perspective, can be experienced in a rapid change, even quantum realization. Time is accelerating because we're using up the need for time.
Not everyone is aware of that acceleration, but because you are, and participating with it, the whole is accelerating.

Take a block of soap and carve a duck. You're not thinking about the duck that wasn't there, or the duck that doesn't yet exist, you're thinking about the duck that's emerging.
The one that's there now. Every moment, in increments of change, that are true only in the present moment.
How much time did you perceive it took? How much time did it take? It could have been twice what you thought, and it could also be less than you thought. You weren't in time, where you could measure it.

If you want to place the dynamic outside of yourself you'll miss the value of it. The physics of time is the physics of mind. No different than arresting the activity
of a wave, by arresting it in time and calling it a particle.
You make it happen.

This is the answer to what is going on.

[Mark]

Timely topic as usual, Fred. Sira and I have been discussing the experience as well as the weeks are flying by so fast now. I've been researching it, looking at websites and videos, both esoteric and scientific. With the lack of formal science (that I've found) explaining a time compression factor as being external and environmental, there's a lot up for discussion and disagreement and that is as it should be. Since all is relative, I come down on the side that it is a byproduct of increasing consciousness.

For me, the lived example of being consumed by a thought or process, when time goes by so quickly, seems to correspond to dreamstates, when we have a dream that seems to take so long and yet when you awaken you see it was only minutes. The waking state is a dream state when we are experiencing time compression, we are entering a space 'outside of time' I guess is an easy way to say it, a state of super-consciousness. Concentration, meditation, opening a conduit to that space beyond the material in daydreams, concentrating on a piece of art or music, or just going about our business totally engrossed in what we are doing.

I'm not sure if it has to do with everything everyone is talking about that is objectively outside of ourselves (energy input into earth-system, schumann resonance, etc.), or if it is only an internal and therefore subjective and awareness-oriented phenomenon.

I'm not at all even sure it matters, in the end. Whatever the cause may be, it seems to be a real phenomenon for many of us. Perhaps there are those that are not experiencing it at all.

I wonder what that would mean? Bless.

That is relevant to me because I see things in a very similar way. I consider dream state and waking state the same -- both as dream states, just our waking one has a certain type of persistent value added to the "physical" aspects. (the binding of energy that would normally be fluid, into matter).

I also see that as the "Fall" is corrected, the energy bound in matter becomes more available to our conscious influence, creating a more "dream-like" state. This can also be likened to the vibrational increase of matter - where the movie "actions" speed up as the frames(vibration) also increases - which gives more fluidity to the "movie"(reality).

So I see us as moving towards more a dream-like state, in our waking consciousness - and due to that, time compression will naturally occur which appears to us as "the speeding up of time" ;)

And also thanks Markpierre for your explanation, well put. ;)

This is the part that bugs me, too. It means they are not shifting vibration.. but what the implications of that are, I am without clue.

Best I understand it minkton, atleast thus far, is that there are periodic "windows of opportunity", and this is merely one of them. Either you catch the bus, of wait for the next one. Of personal note, I think I've been a notorious bus misser.:rolleyes:

1 qestion .... how u can masure an illusion?:pout:

You're living one. How are you measuring it? Beginning to end? And every comparison in between.

Not very dependable. You'd have to witness the alternative.

This type of evaluation is lost on way too many people. I work with data a lot at work, and very large amounts (database stuff), and occasionally I'll have people ask me to check if data is right, or if I have gathered some for them sometimes they'll ask "Can you double check this, I don't think it's right", in which I promptly reply, "Looks good to me!".

That usually pisses them off pretty good, but seriously; it's just data, unless I have a comparison, how the hell am I supposed to know if it is right or wrong?! Without something to compare it to, how can it be evaluated? ;)

I actually get the sensation of vibrations through my body when I make a "grand" learning. I attribute this to my subtle body raising in frequency first before my physical body can catch up to their natural vibratory homeostasis, and that difference creates a resonance I can actually feel, almost electrically through my body. I am very grateful to now have this "compass" ;)

But you also have to consider that spiritually, everyone is vibrationally different, as well as physically, and different experiences cause different learning for different people at different times -- to me it would be weird also if there was consensus for feeling how fast time is at any given moment -- it would be more personal. My 2 cents ;)

I agree. For me, it boils it down to it's simplest terms. But that's after a lifetime of looking at. It wasn't that simple in the digestion process. I hope the explanation was a little more useful.
It isn't an explanation that's useful unless it addresses confusion or fear. A practical use for the phenomena, or the ability to enjoy it and work within it is.

Yes, one would think it must be more personal. I have the same flow awareness that you describe. I also am aware of when time speeds up to ridiculous extent, and that is when the frequency is shifted to a higher level, when around, for example, a transmission.. and my children experience it too and remark continually on the sense that the clock is whizzing around like a joke clock. SO I know it can be shared. I also know when my frequency is raised in relation to space, that I am unable to orient myself with maps and that anyone i stand next to becomes temporarily unable to read maps or accurately recall locations.. even cab drivers have had this loss of spatial awareness in my presence when I am in that frequency. So I know that can we all get the same thing.. I do not know, of course, to what degree we DO NOT all get the same thing!

It's interesting that it's obvious if you look right at it. But you've actually pointed out something that's astounding. Not a new though I guess you could call it a dimension of perception,
but an acceleration of the perception that we use, but inhibit it's frequency by using our minds the way we do. Uncovering maybe seemingly incidently, and eventually intentionally what's visible
and available. Eventually it's what's normal. It's available even without being able to perceive it. You think faster, recognizing a better more practical purpose for thought.
Cut to the chase, 'what is what I'm witnessing 'for'? That's a faster frequency, able to recognize everything else in that range of frequency. but what we 'intentionally' hide from ourselves.
Resisting anything that seems too different or threatening. That's the physical world; hard, solid, immovable, mercenary, predatory, without the benefit of understanding where real safety lies.
It lies in the unity of mind with the eternal, where defense is meaningless and unnecessary.

I've defined time and space as interdependent and insoluble. Both are interdependent with a particular use of perception. By defining it, I've trapped myself in it. But only for a moment.....ha!

Wow. So surreal & strange. I often ponder things like this myself. Hey Silent Feathers, your post up at #4 & the subject of this thread at hand brings me back to a time when I had a very odd dream/possibly out of body? experience..
(And i am half Cherokee, so maybe this sort of visionary experience was just in my DNA to happen)

Was asleep in bed, thought I woke up, felt something in my arms. I look & it's a HUGE sleeping snake (sort of a pale green color). I was afraid to wake it up & felt as if i was supposed to "Take it home" somehow. I looked at the clock in the room, which was an electronic/digital clock which clearly said on its glowing red LED numbers: 11:59. Seeing that time, for some reason, made me feel as if i had one minute to release the giant sleeping snake. I was conscious in 3 worlds/scenarios: a pet store, my home, or outside in nature. Of course this large snake did not belong in a pet store, or in my home as a pet, so I chose the 3rd scenario, nature.. Went out in this area around where i live, walked down the hill, & released the snake into the small lake there. It woke up as i let go of it, but it didn't attack me. If anything, it looked very pleased & slithered off peacefully. I then "really" woke up & when I did, looked over at the clock & it was going from 11:59 to noon.
Somehow or another i knew what time it was.
