My Intent is to Dissolve Time

By on April 19, 2009 in Spirituality








As Einstein said time is a stubborn illusion. In our daily lives, time is probably the most experienced certainty and worldly reality. There is no more precious entity than time. Even those who have acquired enormous wealth, power, and fame, suffer from the absolute scarcity of time. All those who have been victorious in worldly battles have lost to or will ultimately be defeated by time – it is only a matter of time.

Time is a relative reality experienced by the body and mind or ego. Dissolution of time for the body is against the laws of physics. But dissolution of time experienced by the psyche is possible via dissolution of the mind itself. While body cannot be dissolved until death, mind or ego can be dissolved via realization or awareness of the ultimate and eternal universal reality thru inner awakening. While body will remain a victim of the passing time and suffer from aging, disease, and ultimate death, boundaries of the convictions of the mind can be dissolved via living in the moment thru realization of the inner self.

Dissolving time is synonymous with enlightenment, consciousness, awareness, mindfulness, or egolessness. Ironically, when such a state of being is achieved, all intents that are nothing but subtle desires of the mind or ego based in the future of time, also dissolve. Even the intent to dissolve time dissolves with the dissolution of time.

Love

Avtar

    Thanks for sharing this very interesting post on "time." I was just watching the following video (w/a beautiful song) and then came here ….

    "Incorrupt Bodies of the Saints" part 1

    ….as I ponder upon "time" …..

    Oops Avtar,

    I am finding time dissolves itself when I try to remember an event from my distant past. I cannot always recall the year. From my recent past, I can seldom recall which day. If I am, I was. If I was, I shall be. Of what use then, is my collection of bookmarks?

    Char,

    Thanks for the thought provoking link. I was wondering how many saints are planted in the ground or scattered to the winds. Or who does not corrupt upon death and who are well preserved by the hands of men? Consider Jesus, annointed and wrapped, then raised on the third day so he would not corrupt. Perhaps if he had been a saint, we could view his remains today. Blessings,

    Ed

    Hi Ed,

    Time is an odd measure and certainly inconsistent as one toys with it or maybe, bet yet, as one rises above time or masters it, i.e., dissolves time.

    I wonder if the saints were able to overcome time somewhat, as some of their bodies were preserved or frozen in time, as this might be a remembrance of what was going within them spiritually? However, they all died physically or at least the ones we know about.

    Deepak says that we can intend that our bodies be or become ~20 years younger, which is very interesting, as I think one must be working with time to accomplish this feat, i.e., going forward or backward in time and bringing the results to 'now?'

    … still pondering.

    Cheers,

    Char

    How fast or slow time goes is a matter of perception, so how fast do you want it to go? If you slow it down does that mean you slow your own ageing process down? ooh, too many questions. I love time. Time waits for no man or woman but what we choose to do with our time? oops, there goes 30 seconds I can never get back! time to spend it wisely, I will use my mind to send white light of love and healing to the clockwatchers all around the world.

    Char,

    In the sense that reverse aging usually takes some time to manifest once one has made a commitment to pursue it, we are adding time to this incarnation, that is, living to be 110 instead of 80, if another fate does not intervene. One is not working with time here so much as claiming more of it. So long as we celebrate birthday anniversaies and New Year's day, we are marking our time. Even if we look at no clocks, no calendars, we have not dissolved time, since we will likely retire in the hours of darkness and arise again when the sun shines. I think Avtar is saying we can lose our attachment to time.

    Tamasin,

    Where did your 30 seconds go? Why can't you get it back? It is the idea our time is limited or scarce that drives people at frenetic paces to use their time wisely. Is it not wise to sleep away one third of our time? Or to pause and reflect, to simply be? To believe we have this great responsibility for the wise use of our time is poverty consciousness. "I never have enough time!" So I take lots of time to talk with my friends at Intent, with no sense of guilt or irresponsibility – simply because I can. Love,

    Ed

    Personally, I do not believe in the existence of time, so I support the notion that we are masters of time, as it's only an illusion that we created to use as a tool in our journey to know our Self. There is truly nothing but NOW, as nothing is before or after this moment.

    … indeed, THANK-YOU FOR THIS PRESENT!!!

    … indeed, I believe with Sister Char, time is an illiusion.

    … indeed, i believe that everything that has every happened to us, is happening to us or will ever happen to us is happening right now, in this very moment.

    … indeed, I believe that nothing has ever happened to us, is happeng to us or will ever happen to us except the thoughts and beliefs we attach to our experiences and journey.

    … indeed, attach ourselves to nothing and we will be set free.

    BLESSINGS, LOVE and PEACE!!!

    Oh to be master of that which does not exist! And memory is but a Summer's breeze. Don't think I'll go to work tomorrow, for tomorrow never comes.

    Yes…. I still live in the world of illusions, as I can only glimpse beyond the clouds, while a ray of sun warms my soul. To be a co-creator is a beautiful gift.

    I like what you said Avtar. I believe our conception of time is rooted, not in experience, but through words.

    I find, i think in words. And often the words make thoughts. While not every thought is worthwhile, I've realized time and again, I am living now, and yesterday, and tomorrow. But only in my thoughts. When living now, there is two living nows. There is my non-transcendental existence, chiseled by time, and then there is the effortless, timeless ah ha hee hee moment. Usually followed by 'what have i been doing all this time?' And that shoots me to the past, and then to the future.

    Then I think, I want to get rid of time. But what would I do if I did? Nothing, maybe.

    i have been trying to dissolve time, but i never find the time :)

    Seriously, this is what is so joyous about my path, that there really is nothing at all to lose, everything dissolves once it's utility is over, there is no lack, there is only luminous emptiness.

    "Even the intent to dissolve time dissolves with the dissolution of time."

    Dear Avtar,

    This is my first Post. In my opinion, time can never be dissolved. Either you are or Time is. The very desire that time needs to be dissolved implies that we are seeking something other than what IS.

    The "I" is non judgemental and incapable of seeing difference since there is no difference. That is the reason why the I identifies with the Ego, mind and ultimately the body. There is no good and bad, desire and non desire for "I".

    There is no Enlightnement or Delusion, all these concepts are still a part of the Ego that wants to be enlightened, in Nirvana, In the Brahman. Finally like the moth that unwittingly plots its own demise by circling the lamp, what we know as "ourselves" commits suicide. What is left cannot be described directly, but only circumstantially, which is not a correct representation. The ultimate Paradox.

    In fact this post is the work of the EGO.. It has nothing to do with "I".

    Love
