Different Time-Types

Internal Time

My Dear Shadow Friend… It’s time we get into you and break you down. I’m now reporting on you, Time!

By the time you finish reading this section, you may see Time from a whole new perspective. We’ll start with a few easy mind-stretching exercises that will slowly introduce you to Psychological Time, also known as Internal Time. Not that Time exists physically, mind you. In fact, the closest we can get to Physical Time is to divide Earth’s rotation on its axis around the sun into intervals, calling each equal step and spin into a position seconds, minutes, days, and so on. Or, we can divide the moon’s orbit around Earth to get the months. Otherwise, Time is a purely abstract concept, with no real physical form to speak of.

Perhaps the best way to explain this is to say that Time doesn’t only exist the way we have been led to believe. In fact, the true nature of Time is complex, with many different faces and forms. In the pages that follow I unveil the secret identity of Time, exploring its multitude of mysteries. So, let’s start from the top and work our way through the various Time systems that affect our reality.
