Also known as the Not-So-Now or Pretend-Present, the Timeless Trap is easy to stumble into.
Whenever I feel a surge of “god-like” presence inspired by positive thoughts—from either Yesterday or Tomorrow—I know that my state isn’t truly Timeless. In fact, it’s dominated by Chronos, the master of Time himself. Because Time is spread along a line of Yesterday’s memories and Tomorrow’s imaginings, I’m no longer in the genuine present.
Besides, it’s clear… Time gets spread across a line different to the one containing the now or present reality, which can’t be caught or captured. It is the history of Yesterday and the future of Tomorrow made into a timeline similar to a collage in an album.
Why does this actually matter?
Because when I’m overly positive in Time, I’m bound to crash in the end and experience Negative Time. For me, chasing a really good time comes at the cost of an equally bad time, being the law of my Innerverse. Otherwise, those who are less sensitive and can deal adequately with the effects of Time won’t have to worry as much.
Touching on the Timeless
No idea, ideal, belief, or concept can hold Timelessness because these are all constructs of Time. Psychological activity can’t exist without time-based processes, so genuine inactivity—the absence of mental transport into the past or future—belongs to an entirely different realm.
With this in mind, can Timelessness be described accurately?
Only by negating Time’s overpowering influence can the rewards of Timelessness transform one’s life. In fact, it is so powerful that the moment you start asking and reacting to any question on the matter, you enter into Time itself because you make comparisons to previous events. Not that this is a bad thing as it’s only natural to ask and react to any issue at hand. However, just know that all descriptions, questions and answers in the mind are made in Time.
In fact, the closest I can get to explaining the Timeless is to simply paint a description in my reaction that describes ‘no description’ while fully understanding it. In which case, you’ll eventually react less in day-to-day life, thereby taking you out of Time as you become aware of psychological inactivity as revitalising. Only the power of Timelessness can truly optimise Time in your mind.
A Quick Recap
As I react to the life that stands before me, Time immediately takes hold. Symbols are matched against records located in Yesterday’s Timeline at lightning speed, and I produce a refined projection on a newly painted canvas that I call Tomorrow (Life-long Memory + New Information captured from present reality = Potential or Future Projection). However, unless I have a deep understanding of this, these containers or carriers of thought (and Time) can easily influence my nerves and send signals upstairs convincing me otherwise. While portraying myself as a Timeless God, I am in fact a Child of Time, unable to truly grasp the Timeless realm.
Now, do you see why I had to immediately patch up my psyche with optimal Mindless 2.0 code?
Whether my thoughts describe something years, months, days, hours, minutes, or seconds ‘ago’ or ‘in front’ of the timeline ↔, it makes little difference. You see, the Timeless knows no time whatsoever.
In fact, the moment I speak of the Timeless and say… “I am here, there, or very close to it”, this will be my best indicator that tells me that I’m well inside the world of Time. My very statement clearly contradicts the Timeless.
The Not-So-Now or Pretend-Present is definitely a pleasant space for floating in and around. But without discipline, it’s too easy to drift off and lose ground altogether for a Highly Sensitive Person.
Nowadays, what is more important is understanding these Time Cogs, so that I negate my long-term challenges, cull the fat, and ultimately get my act together.
