Time is difficult to define because we have a special relationship with it. Prepare to realize what no one has mentioned: time lives in us. Time isn’t a single thing; it contains two parts: first, we observe things moving, such as birds flying and trees moving. The second part is what we feel with our senses.
As babies, we rest, and feel our heartbeat, the air moving in our nose, and our chest rising and falling. When we become self-aware, we combine awareness of motion with the perception of objects moving and conclude that everything moves. Are you following how we grow up and become aware of our environment?
Is time derived from motion, and related to our awareness? A clock shows time, but wait a minute, let’s go down the rabbit hole further…
Can time be measured?
Do clocks measure time? No, we can only measure motion, and then we convert a clock’s numbers into time. Numbers and time are not physical things. The visible motion we witness is absolute, and clocks are objects. A clock counts its ticking as seconds, and each second is equal to the movement of Earth’s rotation.
Time has many aspects that affect our lives, but in reality, time as we know it is a concept. Moreover, what we experience as time doesn’t exist in nature.
However, in our modern world, we can’t function without clocks to show us the time of day. We have invented clocks and time, and now we are held accountable to a concept that controls our lives.
It’s challenging to describe time because we label things with our concepts of time, such as memories, moments, and travel. Do we understand time? People believe that, given enough time, anything can happen, and without time, nothing can.
People think that the Sun moves across the sky. Some believe we can move in slow motion or at nearly the speed of light, while time continues to move, making us older.
Scientists think that time exists alongside the other forces of nature. I can relate to this idea: “I think, I am, so time exists.” However, “time” and a clock’s time are two separate things. Universal laws affect matter, not time or space.
Our most significant misconception is thinking that time has the power to change physical things.
How Does Time Benefit Humanity?
Timekeeping is necessary for humans to thrive in a modern society. But we should realize that time doesn’t have physical qualities. It exists only in our beating heart and on timekeeping tools. Time is only a number on a clock, a historical event on a calendar, or a future appointment.
Time has no power to change anything; a clock can slow down or speed up, but it cannot make you older or younger. We count our age by how many times we circled the Sun.
We are souls experiencing life in a body, and our “time” ends when the physical and emotional stress of living stops our beating hearts.
Our Perception of Time
The planet’s daily rotation has a rhythm of sunlight, temperature, and ocean tides that affect us. Circadian rhythms are the daily cycles of the body’s internal clock, which runs in your mind and carries out essential functions and processes.
One of the most necessary and well-known circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle. The body’s circadian rhythm is linked to your internal clock in the brain’s hypothalamus.
We base our perception of time on Earth’s daily cycle. The circadian rhythms of light and darkness are stored in our brains and control our daily activities. When we sleep, our hearts beat about 60 times per minute. It’s not a coincidence that our clocks tick at the same rate as our pulse.
We made clocks to tick 60 times per minute instead of, say, 100 times per minute. Thus, clocks and hearts tick 80,400 times per day. Think about that… we measure the speed and duration of everything in the universe based on the beating rate of our hearts.
Was the universe created for us, or did we adapt to the cycles of Earth’s rhythm? Either way, we are trying to understand our experiences and ourselves by our heart’s pulse. Don’t you think that’s amazing…
We feel and see motion, and we think of it as time passing, but it’s the motion moving in and around us that’s passing. However, most of us live in a matrix, believing that time moves.
Will we wake up and realize the truth about time? Nature doesn’t use time; the Sun keeps shining, the Earth spins, and we keep asking what’s the time? Are we there yet? How much longer?
Our Changing Awareness of Time
Clocks don’t exist without humans, and only clocks show the time… We have lost our natural cycle of seeing and feeling time pass, and now we rely on timekeeping tools for daily events.
A clock can tick faster or slower, but the universe has an absolute age that expands at the speed of light, from the Big Bang to this present moment. Motion moves. Time doesn’t move. Time can’t be measured because a clock counts seconds, which are already measurements.
Clocks tick at the rate of our beating hearts; we call it time, and then measure everything else in the universe with clocks ticking at the rate of our hearts.
It’s fantastic to know that time lives in us, yet the revelation is that we have allowed clocks to take over our natural ability to sense time.
Are you living in the Matrix? Be patient, realize your relationship with time. Give time a chance, and I promise, the light will wake you up… Thanks for your time and awareness at https://lovinthings.com/.
