John
Here is Spirit’s follow-up message on the subject of time.
Spirit
Your obsessive preoccupation with time (or the passage of time) is, as we’ve said before, unhealthy and wasteful.
Why do we say that?
You allow yourselves, your choices about your lives, to become distorted by the way you perceive what you call “time.”
Time is an illusion.
But it is a useful illusion. You could not live your physical lives in a healthy, useful way if you did not have this perception of time that you do have.
The critical point we wish to make here is you are in control. Time is a tool you absolutely need to exist in a physical world.
Although, as we have said before, you create your own realities. That includes time. You create time.
If you create time, you also have the ability to manipulate time. Or, if you will, to change time.
You are able to not only change time, but to slow it down or speed it up. Time is not, as many of you believe, a “fixed” reality. You control it. You can change it in whatever way you choose.
If you can change time, you can slow it down or speed it up. Take a few quiet moments now and think about what your ability to manipulate time really means.
It means you are in control. You can use time for whatever purposes you choose. If you speed it up, you will age faster. If you slow it down, you delay aging.
You may have read about the masters (men and women) who are able to live physical lives of 700 or 800 years or more. These people were–obviously–the masters of time.
What would you do with your life if you could extend it by hundreds of years?
