Think of time as just a marker. A tool, an awareness that a thing is going to happen. Something that you foresee happening, because you knew that timer was going to go off (for example).
If you stop believing in time then there is no past and no future. Nothing to be concerned about. We'd live once again like animals. Not in the sense that we are "stupid" or apes (al be it they are highly intelligent animals which is why they are always using them as testing for us, as well as mice). But like all animals; that each seem to have their own miraculous qualities, think of translucent blue blood (like in those stingrays(?))that have such a close structure as ours that they use their blood to test vaccines and other chemicals. Limbs that just grow back, animals that can find their way home a continent away (slight exaggeration?). These animals have no sense of time but they have qualities I would clearly envy (and love to posses), shooting quills into my opponents, being able to have him carry the babies (mwahahahahahaha), beheading our mate the minute after conception (praying mantis?) [maybe only couples that have been married over 20 years get this though] and grant me that this is from a girls prospective. Yes these stand out to me. Forgive me for being a female. That's just what it seems it takes to be perceived as an equal. It takes apologizing for it. Why do you think women in high positions of any field, science, politics, engineering get so sick and tired of it. Imagine having to apologize to everyone everywhere for everything; well at least this one thing (being so smart) and imagine how much harder the pretty ones have to apologize [not only are they gorgeous, they are smart, they're getting it from all sides - women to, or most especially them, I'm sure]. Wow. That was a wide veering.
These animals don't know of time. You can explain it to some degree (the timer on the cake way), but not on the fundamental level we take it to, they just can't, or at least I hope to God they never do. Because that is what makes us miserable. It's this constant thinking of something that isn't currently happening, while the world (life) IS happening. It's like how you shouldn't text and drive. Why? Because you can only have so many things happening simultaneously and then you are overwhelmed to the point of making mistakes. Mistakes there are no coming back from (up to and including a lot of times.... death). So there are people telling you not to, ads, non-profit "things to know" type commercials, and laws all advising you to pay attention. Pay attention to one thing and one thing alone......driving. Not because your incapable, but because at some point and time you could be and that will be the time you might very well most regret in your entire life. So your only job is to do that one thing, because it is a very serious thing, because it wields a lot of power. And it takes practice in humility (as in humbleness) to wield power correctly.
Very few of us are a Joan of Arc right out the gate? Which don't we wish we all were? I mean come on? I don't care what they say about that chick. She was fucking cool! She managed to do that, and maybe she talked to herself....wow- so fucking what, she saw images? Aren't those images what led her to be who she was? These things don't happen mutually and exclusively, separately apart most times. They are because she was who she was she was able to do all she did. Don't listen to the propaganda and it's all propaganda. Point is!!!!!!
If you stopped believing in time no one would have any control over you ever. EVER. And isn't that what we want? Ultimately we want to live how we want to live, leave when we want to leave, go where we want to go, see who we want to see, dance when/where we want to dance, sing what/where we want to sing, love who and when we want to love, and be truly, deeply happy. We are fooled to believe that we don't want this. That it's bad to want this. It's not that it's bad to want this. That is absolutely not true. If we lead with humility (with our hearts) we would lead the right way. And how we get there is by being AWARE of the entire situation (of what's going on around us in life- as much as possible, as much as we can know, which when you listen to your heart and gut you'll realize is actually a lot more than you think and probably all you need to know) to make the right choice. And the only way to be fully and completely aware of the situation is to pay complete attention to it. Not let any (think past/present things) distract you from it. Then you will always make the right choice because you will be leading with your heart, you will always be fully in the present. Fully doing what you are doing right this moment, which is living. You just need to be silent and still sometimes to hear your heart speaking. When your mind isn't chatter boxing with what it should have done or needs to do or is trying to do. When your mind is just focused on what is it doing instead of a story of what it's doing then it is one with it all. Then it is truly happy. Then it is in line with love. Then it is no longer afraid, then it is doing the right thing, then it is at peace. When you are just doing life at the exact moment it happens. Living each breath to its fullest. Then. You are truly free
