At Peace With Time
To live in freedom you have to live at peace (harmony) with time;
live the dimension of time as a creator of time and not a slave of time;
live without being either a prisoner or victim of time. To live at peace
with time is to live in harmony with nature, beginning with your inner nature.
When you plant a sapling today, you cannot accelerate the process so that the
next day you have a tree. When it is summer, you cannot make the earth revolve
around the sun quicker or slower for winter to arrive before or later.
Everything has its rhythm in nature. We have distanced ourselves from the
natural rhythm and our accelerated mind exercises pressure, creates stress and
causes anxiety. We plan the future, we are stuck in the past and the present
escapes us.
Many worries have to do with how we live time: the past, the
present and the future. Worrying about what might happen (future), when the
moment has not yet come for it to happen, takes away from us the necessary
energy to deal with it when it finally arrives. Living in memories drains
our energy; the past already happened and no longer exists, except in our
memory. We feed memories, not realizing that emerging the memory in our mind
distracts us from the present and weakens us. It is like being a plug that
connects to a socket with no current passing through. We lose our energy. We
want to relive an experience that already happened, and in the end we feel
disappointed, feeling a mental and emotional waste.
