Time is an illusion with a purpose.
Each day contains 86,400 seconds. Each day is exactly the same length, at least according to a clock. So why do some days seem to drag by, while others seem to fly too quickly for us to keep up?
Time may be a linear construct, but our perception of it, our experience of it, is not. That’s because our perception, our experience, is emotion-based. When we are having fun, time seems to “fly.” When we are worried about something, or when we dread an upcoming anticipated experience, then time seems to “drag.”
Time, or at least our experience of it, is related to resistance. When we resist or avoid something, time seems to slow down for us.
When we try to avoid an experience, it has nothing to do with the experience itself – but rather how we ANTICIPATE that we will FEEL in the experience. There are certain emotions which we don’t enjoy. When we avoid an experience that we expect to invoke certain undesired emotions, then we are resisting it – and time seems to slow down for us.
