If you\u2019ve been around spiritual circles long enough, you might hear pondering about time being the 4th or 5th dimension. In this line of thinking, Time becomes something to be transcended through \u201cascension\u201d. I\u2019m here to dispel that limited view and explore time from the perspective of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity; Which coincidentally aligns quite nicely with the esoteric teachings and direct insight that I have encountered in the; Buddhist and Hermetic lineages. The confusion most people have is mixing time up with the uncollapsed quantum potentials in the field – calling them timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine that you\u2019re simply a dot, a speck of dust with no dimensionality. Now imagine that you exist on a 1-Dimensional line and can move back and forth along that line. When you move, you experience something called time. Time, you see, is a measurement of speed and distance. Let\u2019s explore that concept with a common example, the Twins Paradox; two twins born on earth at the same exact time are separated. One is sent on a spaceship away from Earth at 99% the speed of light. The other goes about his business on earth, growing up and such. The twin on the spaceship returns 20 years later, but to his family’s surprise is only a few years older\u2026he\u2019s still a child while his twin is already working a job at the age of 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This example highlights a concept called Time Dilation. The closer to the speed of light you go, the slower you experience \u2018time\u2019. What is happening is that you are taking a \u2018shorter\u2019 path through curved space in order to move faster. Which makes you experience less movement through curved space, and thus less time. Fewer vibrations get to happen to age your body. Moving slower, you end up moving through a lot more space, and thus experience more \u2018time\u2019. And thus, the experience of time is merely a function, or perspective, of how we are moving through space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
