This morning I felt that time had either completely slowed down or come to a halt. I was so focussed on what I was reading and doing and had done so much work that I imagined the time was much later than what it was.
Has anyone experienced this before?What was that all about?
Had my actual brain/mind sped up past lightening speed..(ya never know) 
Or was time actually slowing down...
Is that the difference therefore between using your brain and using your mind? Mind as a spiritual entity is already faster than the speed of light is an oversoul of the brain? What's the point therefore in immortality if we can slow down time?
If my cells sped up, my brain etc... to vibrate faster than the speed of light would I therefore be living out of time? Is time really, actually relative? IP: Logged |

It is relative and based on perception; however, I would say that we can also manipulate it. I've frequently looked at a clock and then looked again just seconds later to find that it is completely different (sometimes later, but sometimes earlier). When I had my car crash, time slowed as my car flipped. What was a second or two became 30 or more. I even had a conversation with the other person in the car. Time slowed for us both--not just the perception of it (a brain trick), but actual time, evidenced by our conversation. Once we hit the pavement upside down, time sped back up and resumed. ------------------

yes... and no we can experience pockets of these time shifts, and quite often - the biggest challenge is, of course, getting everyone else around you to do the same... lately, quite a number of us here have been feeling time speeding up as we approach 2012... i don't know about anyone else but from my perspective it seems as though i'm in the eye of the storm, watching the rapid swirling but removed from it...
do you notice time slowing when you're around others?

OMG! That's exactly how I feel! I wrote about it in an affirmation I created. Most people are bound to time like puppet strings, and I feel like I am a part of the world as an observer but not affected, sort of like in a bubble where time warps around me. I can't control time at will, but I am just not controlled by it. ------------------

Yeah I feel things speeding up too. It feels like five minutes have become fifteen, I don't have enough time for anything anymore. IP: Logged |

Randall, that sounds almost like an OBE experience? Perhaps some part of your consciousness was outside of the normale waking experience and it was an astral conversation taking place?Emitres, I don't usually feel it intensely around other people, no. I definitely do not feel time quickening up either... but quickening up of the Earth's vibrations perhaps is almost like contraction, and giving birth to something in 2012? Certainly when I take my time, it seems that time slows down. Whereas when I'm rushing it just seems to pass in so quickly.
This morning however it felt that I had either done an hour's productivity in half the time or else time (or my perception of it), slowed down. Perhaps that is the key....my perception of time slowed down rather than actual time. However the irony of it is that my brain felt as if it was processing at lightening speed. It could mainly have been a trance state of mind or my brainwaves were processing Alpha wave activity. IP: Logged |

Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.” IP: Logged |

Has anyone seen Blade 3? The last few seconds of the movie reminds me of this string. Cars are moving super fast showing sped up time, but Blade moves slowly through the traffic on his bike. Very artistic!IP: Logged |

Interestingly,Chronos means "time" chronological is referring to time this is what wikipedia says: Not to be confused with Cronus, a Titan. In Greek mythology, Chronos (Ancient Greek: Χρόνος in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. His name actually means "days" and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek) or Chronus (Latin version). Chronos was imagined as an incorporeal god. Serpentine in form, with three heads—that of a man, a bull, and a lion. He and his consort, serpentine Ananke (Inevitability), circled the primal world-egg in their coils and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky. He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god. Chronos is usually portrayed through an old, wise man with a long, gray beard, such as "Father Time." Some of the current English words whose etymological root is khronos/chronos include chronology, chronic, and chronicle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronos I believe that time is chronological.
I don't believe that time is just linear. I believe that time is both linear and nonlinear. time can be relative.
I believe that time in the metaphysical isn't the same as time in the physical. I believe that we can actually live 1000 years in the metaphysical world, but it could actually be 5 years, 100 years,or any other years that don't equate 1000 years in the metaphysical world.
The author of the Narnia Chronicles, C.S. Lewis wrote about this concept. Many years of the fictional,alternative world Narnia equated to a short amount of time on Earth.
Possible parallel universes would also fit with the relativity of time.
I wrote the following some time ago: I am a strong believer in God. I don't believe in "old man high in the sky watching over us" God though. I believe in God as everything and that it is in everything. That means that I am a pantheist. Sometimes, I refer to God as the universe. I might even just use the word,the divine. I could even say that it's nature itself. Pan is the Greek God of Nature,and Pan means "all", Because of my belief in pantheism, I believe that we all connected through the divine energy that I believe is in every one of us. I believe that Astrology works because everything in existence is connected to each other,and so that includes the heavenly bodies. That's why I even believe that asteroids(even personal name asteroids) work in Astrology. I believe that God is both female and male....the yin and yang. I believe that a positive always to have a negative and vice versa. The positive and negative balance each other out that it's neutral. We see that with negative integers and positive intergers. a negative integer of a number plus the positive integer of the number ( - 1 + 1 = 0). The number zero has no beginning nor end just like I believe that time,space,and cosmos has no beginning nor end. Both positive and negative integers go to infinity. There is no beginning nor end to numbers. I believe that life is infinite itself as it goes in cycles. Once it reaches the end of 1 cycle,it goes to another. I even believe that concept applies to birth,death,rebirth concept of reincarnation which I am a believer in. I also believe in parallel universes,and I believe that there is infinite number of universes. I believe that all of us have counterparts in parallel universes too. I even believe that with all these infinite parallel universes,there is infinite possibilities of how our lives can manifest. Therefore,I believe that our potential is infinite. I even believe that every moment, the actions we take actually even lead us to transference to one parallel universe to another and to another, but we don't realize it. It's like going back in time,but when you go back,it's like you never left. Nothing has changed except your thoughts,feelings to your surroundings which can be connected to change in frequencies which can be due to unconscious shift to another universe parallel to the one that we were previously in. I even believe that our imaginations actually help us tap into these parallel universes. I believe that the dreamworld is actually a parallel universe where the laws of physics don't apply, and so things like flying can easily happen with just a thought. We can say that 3Dimensional objects have no end because of overlapping sides. We can go in various directions and go to the end which can also be a beginning like the corner of a table as you go down a side and get to the end,you're a corner which also beginning of another side. Of course, objects that are round have no sides and corners, and no matter how you turn it, it looks the same. That's how I view God. No matter how we perceive God from certain sides,angles, I believe that it's still the same God. It's our perceptions of God what makes God to be different. I believe that applies to everything else because God is all. ------------------

Glaucus, I believe that the Earth is flat!
It depends on your perspective, on how you look at it.From the concept of perhaps experiencing 1000 metaphysical years in comparison to Earth's 15 minutes ...(or something like that), isn't that the realm of Pluto and transneptunian planets? Saturn represents Chronos or gravity/time...Sir Isaac Newtonis a Capricorn  Uranus represents the trends, and inconsistencies of change Neptune dissolves this concept of time and turned into oneness...or dream worlds Pluto, Eris etc.
connect you to the power of infinity that you can transfer in time. IP: Logged |

Have you ever watched a clock that has a second hand and stared at it willing it to move slower? Try it. It might surprise you as to how easy it is to manipulate time when we are only talking about seconds. Telekinesis? Are you controlling time or just the hand of the clock? Or is it just your perception of time? But isn't all time perception?  ------------------

Right on Randall!
I remember staying at a house, and it had seven clocks that had all stopped at different times...and it was soooooo strange!
There was an atmosphere in the house, as if time was frozen...infact it was bloody freezing in the house and I really did think it was haunted... but that's kind of going off the topic...or is it?A ghost is in a sense an entity trapped in time and the perception of this ghost then is the ability to see past the veil... It's fascinating that at the exact location you are at right now something else was taking place 300, 400...years ago and it's maybe just a case of tuning into it. "Are you controlling time or just the hand of the clock? Or is it just your perception of time? But isn't all time perception?" Well now.............If we all put our collective mind's together and chose to slow time down would that mean that it was so? Or is it just a matter of slowing our cells down? IP: Logged |

I agree, CancerScorp.Great info, Quinnie. Kind of scary about the clocks. Here is some more info about time that Linda wrote about:

Time is perception! How true!! Nothing really changes, except our knowledge of time ticking away. But what if you were frozen in time. Would anything be beautiful? Would anything be worthy? "Time is a fantastic thief. He steals both before his arrival and during it as well.

Interesting topic, just finished discussing this in one of my classes... to quote David Icke...don't agree with all of his theories, but I think he wrote about it perfectly:
"There is no such thing as time. Time is an illusion of a linear physical reality. In actuality, time and space do not exist. To the God-Mind or All That Is, all events and thoughts occur simultaneously. Therefore, there is NO past, present, or future, only the Eternal Now"IP: Logged |

I think that's a matter of perception once again. Do you think it's beautiful?

So is time the same thing as gravity?
If we are holographic beings...our essence bound into 3 dimensional being on earth whilst simulaneously being on other dimensions......hmmmmm I'm thinking.......Time will tell.
