The Nature Of Time And Personal Empowerment

May 062011

How is time comprehended?

Is it just with the aid of a wristwatch, office clock or the calendar hung on the wall?

Or is it something more fundamental than these?

Is it the cycle of the Sun as it causes the shift from day to night and back again?

Certainly these things contribute to an awareness of time passing and a method of measuring time, but the most constant reminder of time passing is probably the least obvious.

And by the end of this post you will discover a new perspective that will give you a sense of great personal empowerment!

Is time the passing of your thoughts?

Your thoughts seem to follow one another in a constant stream, and so give you an impression of time passing.

But are your impressions of time correct?

You may think of time as a constant, which started at the Big Bang and progressed relentlessly up to the present moment.

But time does not really exist in that way at all; what you think of as past, present and future actually exist simultaneously.

This may sound unbelievable because it seems to contradict all the experiences of your daily life.

However, as already shown, the way you experience your reality through the five senses is not how reality actually is.

Consider The Following Quotations From 2 Eminent Physicists

Professor Brian Greene states:

“The laws of physics treat what we call past and future on a completely equal footing. Even though experience reveals over and over again that there is an arrow of how events unfold in time, this arrow seems not to be found in the fundamental laws of physics.”

Albert Einstein said:

“People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubborn persistent illusion.”

It would seem that time requires further investigation.

First, the true nature of an event needs to be considered.

An event can be thought of as any everyday experience, such as going shopping, having a discussion with a friend or going out for dinner.

Whenever you decide to do something there are always different probabilities you can choose from.

Even a mundane event such as going to the shops has several probabilities.

You can either go or not go; you can use the car or walk; you can go to one particular shop in preference to another.

These are just a few of the probabilities you can choose to experience in your ‘physical’ reality.

However, the true nature of an event is that, at some level of reality, all the probabilities exist and are part of your experience.

If this still sounds incredible, then consider the words of physicist Hugh Everett:

“Quantum physics predicts that all alternative outcomes of any given experiment must occur even though we may only see a single outcome. Somehow, those hidden alternatives must exist simultaneously along with the observed outcome.”

Life is Like An Orange (not a box of chocolates)

It may help to think of an event in your life being like an orange, which is made up of a number of segments.

Each segment is only part of the orange.

It is only when all the segments are viewed together that you consider it to be an orange.

When you experience an event in your waking state of consciousness, you are actually just experiencing one segment of the event.

You experience other segments of the event in other states of consciousness, where you use time and space in different ways.

From the point of view of your waking state of consciousness you string single segments together in normal memory to give you what you consider to be your past.

This Is Very Important To Remember

All of the segments, or probabilities, that make up a particular event are determined by your personal beliefs about what is possible and what is not possible.

It follows that the difference between a probability and a possibility needs to be clarified.

In a given event there are a limited number of probabilities, but there could be an infinite number of possibilities.

As an example, in a free and democratic country it is a possibility for anyone to become President or Prime Minister.

However, it is not necessarily a probability because of other choices people have made.

Probabilities, Possibilities and Chess

To help understand these very alien concepts of the nature of an event and the simultaneous nature of time, consider the following analogy.

Imagine a large piece of material with small squares printed on it, similar to a chess board, laid out on the floor in front of you.

In this analogy each of the squares represents an event.

The squares directly in front of you represent the present time, those to your left represent the past, and those to your right represent the future.

Now imagine yourself in a God like position gazing down at the squares laid out on the floor.

From this position you can see that past, present and future exist simultaneously, because you can see all the squares and all the events at the same time.

Now imagine crouching down with your nose just a few inches or centimeters from the squared material on the floor.

From this position you can now only see one square, or one event.

You can not see the rest of the squares, although they still exist.

You can move your focus from one square to another depending on your choice of direction, but you only ever see one square at a time.

When you move from one square to another you create an experience of time passing.

The true nature of the piece of material with squares on it does not change.

This analogy gives you an insight into how reality is experienced through the five senses one event at a time.

This same analogy can be taken a little further.

Imagine returning to your God like position so that you can gaze down at the sea of squares stretching out in all directions.

Now choose just one square.

This time, instead of imagining this square to be one whole event, imagine it to be one probability of an event.

Now imagine the surrounding cluster of squares touching it on each of its sides to be the other probabilities of the event.

You can now see that if you choose a different square from the cluster, that different square touches a different set of surrounding squares.

In this analogy, the different set of squares represents different probabilities that have now become available.

As stated earlier, the probabilities that are available to you in your everyday reality are determined by your beliefs.

Change Your Square

Changing a belief is represented by choosing a different square in this analogy.

With this understanding of the true nature of an event it is possible to exercise real power and this creates personal empowerment!

Remember that all probabilities of an event do exist and are yours for the choosing.

This means that you can take any event in your so-called past that disturbs you and choose a more favorable outcome. This is where Time Empowerment™, NLP, hypnosis and even shamanic journey work come in.

The probability that you had previously accepted as the only outcome, now takes its place in your memory as just one of a number of probable outcomes.

When you no longer attach significance to this less favorable probable outcome, it will no longer affect your present experiences.

You really can choose an effectively different past.

This is not self deception this IS personal empowerment!

Your everyday experiences will actually change in line with this newly recognized past.

Sometimes people may question why they should have had to suffer poor experiences as a child, just because they had not yet learned about how their beliefs affect their experiences.

It can now be seen that all probabilities and all life experiences are simultaneous, therefore the beliefs of your childhood are formed not only in what you think of as your past, but also in what you think of as your present and, of course, your future.

It is only because of the piecemeal way in which you normally understand reality that you think your childhood existed before your present time.

But as the new understanding of time demonstrates, it is always from the present moment that you choose your experiences, whether you call them past, present or future and these experiences are always based on your beliefs in the present moment.

It is always from the present moment that you choose what direction you will take and which probabilities you will use in your waking state of consciousness.

You do not need to believe you are a prisoner of ‘karma’, or fate, no matter what events you think have happened in this or any other life.

All of the probabilities of any so-called past event exist now and are just as real as the one probability remembered by you in your waking state of consciousness.

Your present experiences do not have to be limited by any beliefs you have about your perceived past, because you do not have a single fixed past.

Changing your beliefs in the present moment gives you personal power and sets you free to choose your life experiences.

Some questions to contemplate:

How do you comprehend time?
Describe the true nature of an event.
Describe what is meant by a probability and how does it differ from a possibility?
Describe briefly how to change the past.
Explain why you do not need to be a prisoner of so-called past life events?
