Time

Time...how it shifts, slips, changes and flies.


Wise Einstein passed along such knowledge when he declared Time as being relative...relative to each individual's perspective within each unique moment. Infinite realities, indeed.


Speaking of realities and perspectives -- have you ever stopped to contemplate why we use the verb “spent” when referring to our usage of time...and what the deeper meaning within such may mean? We use the same passive verb when referring to energy...and money. And what is money really, but a symbolic representation of power?


Here's a quick definition of “spent”:


  • exhausted: drained of energy or effectiveness; extremely tired; completely exhausted

  • gone: having all been spent; "the money is all gone"


 

And here's “power”:

 
  • possession of controlling influence

  • (physics) the rate of doing work

  • ability: possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done

  • world power: a state powerful enough to influence events throughout the world

  • one possessing or exercising power or influence or authority; "may the force be with you"

  • might: physical strength

  • exponent: a mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself

  • supply the force or power for the functioning of

So from there, could it not be concluded that when it is said “I do not have time [to be...; to do...; for...; etc]” that in essence what is being expressed is the belief/thought that “I do not have power [to be...; to do...; for...]”?


I don't have the power to...”?!? I believe that expression would fall into the category of 'victim mentality/consciousness'. Extremely dis-empowering. Why do we use such language? Cultural conditioning...and lack of awareness.


I believe it would be very wise for us to take the time to first observe what we are expressing...getting to the essence of the thoughts and words used...and then deciding if the results are what we are desiring to achieve. For thoughts and words are the building blocks of Creation, are they not?


Personally, I like the phrase “I will make time...”. Yep, I really like the way that phrase sounds and feels. I find it carries with it creative potential and self-empowerment.


Infinite possibilities, indeed...enjoy your Time.
