There is a place just the other side of what we think is reality. It shimmers and shifts and none of our rules apply.

Did you ever think about the fact that solidity is an illusion? that an atom is mostly empty space and it is only the electrical forces which hold the atom together that give us the impression of ’solid’

So back to possibility. Consider all your preconceptions of the world as the electrical force giving the illusion of solidity where as it is actually 90% empty space and we create the rest.

Sometimes I look at the world and I realise there isn’t actually ‘anything’ there. It is energy I am putting form on and time on and my wants and needs on. Sit in a place of nature where there are no people or signs of human constructions and think about time. It becomes meaningless; plants grow and die, trees shed their leaves and grow new ones, flowers emerge spread their seeds and then wither, it is an endless circle of change. It will circle forever, life surging forward. Basic scientific rule we all learn in school… energy cannot be created or destroyed.

It is only when we step in and put ‘time’ on things that we get lost in needing to put structure on outside of ourselves. We have invested huge amounts of energy into time, we must do so much, we will die and it will all be over, must achieve, must make money, not enough time, too late, too young, too old, too early, to fast, too slow, too much, too little, hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, years, decades, ancient, antique, new, old, fresh, stale, time is money, three minute pasta, 30 second meals, fast food, life expectancy, growing old, yesterday, tomorrow, five minutes ago, in an hours time, three hours long… etc, etc

We are running in circles trying desperately to keep up with ourselves.  There is no time, not as we have constructed it. We are immortal beings and time is a circle or a river we flow along and the only thing to do is relax and go with the flow. Its great when I remember this. I get lost sometimes in the ‘too old’ thoughts, or ‘not getting enough done in the day’ thoughts and it makes me worried and anxious and impatient and I feel like I am pushing against a wall or walking in a dream when I can’t seem to walk fast enough. I think about the illusion of time and I let it go and I can be happy again in the moment.
