Most of us take for granted that time flies, meaning that it passes too quickly. But in the mindful state, time doesn’t really pass at all. There is only a single instant of time that keeps renewing itself over and over with infinite variety. The secret about time, then, is that it exists only as we think of it. Past, present, and future are only mental boxes for things we want to keep close or far from us, and by saying that ‘ time flies,’ we conspire to prevent reality from coming too close. There is no time only now.
Love and Light, Wil
