Do you really know about time?

1. People's perception of time is inaccurate.

For example, farmers grow vegetables, and at the same time, they shoot from three angles: front, back, left and right. Then put the three paragraphs together for TV viewers to see. The audience mistakenly thought that the photographer shot the front first, then the back, and then the side. The migrant workers worked for 3 minutes, but in fact they only worked for 1 minutes. The three shots were actually shot at the same time, but they chose different perspectives when playing, which easily caused the illusion of time length.

Also, in the example of Liu Fengju, the author of Unlocking Your High-dimensional Wisdom, we all had dreams. Sometimes, after taking a nap, I feel that I have had a very long dream. When I wake up, it turns out that it has only been ten minutes. This is that time cannot be accurately felt. In our dreams, time can even be out of order.

2. The biggest scam of time management: thinking that time is straight.

"In most people's cognition, time is linear," past, present and future ". But in the Mayan calendar, time is not linear, but three-dimensional. You can think of it as our DNA structure, which is three-dimensional and multidimensional, and it is a spiral form. Then, in the process of constantly rotating and rising, each group of reincarnation contains new energy. Some people's daily life is basically the same, and there is not much difference, while some people's daily life is like an iterative update of the program, and the speed is changing at an ultra-fast speed. This is the level of the dimension that determines every day. " This is an online explanation of the concept of time in the Mayan calendar.

in fact, the improvement of dimensions mentioned here depends on the comprehensive application of our imagination, consciousness, emotions and various senses. In the book Fourteen Life Creative Lessons, Li Xinpin put forward the concept of developing multiple versions of self. Suppose there are five parallel versions of herself, whose identities are: playwright, painter, psychologist, novelist and astrophysics researcher. During the day, she will allocate time to draw a small picture, watch a film related to astrophysics or psychology, and write novels for TV series. It is also 24 hours a day, and her version of life is much richer than the average person. It's like drawing a mechanical view of a part, which can draw several front views, top views and side views, and they can have n different parallel versions. Her time management is also more efficient than most of us.

3. Time is from the future to the present, not from the past to the present.

A book written by a Japanese writer, Ms. Yoshimoto Banana, is called What Not to Do, and it mentions the concept of time. Many of us think that time goes by in the past, but Ms. Gibbon thinks that time comes from the future.

Qian Hui Tanaka, a Japanese actress, agrees with her statement very much. The first reason she gave is that at a certain time, everyone will set some goals for himself, and once we set a goal, we will arrange time for this goal and do something necessary to promote us to finish it on time. In this case, we calculate and arrange the present time from a certain point in the future. The second reason is that many of us have had the experience that what happened at the moment was nothing, and after a few years, it unexpectedly helped ourselves. Qian Hui Tanaka was very introverted when she was a child, so her parents enrolled her in English learning courses with foreign teachers. In the process of learning, she didn't learn very actively, but she didn't completely reject it. After growing up, she left Japan and settled in Taiwan Province all the year round, and really worked with many foreigners in film and television.

So she said: Maybe she can't see any progress or results at the moment, or she doesn't know why she is doing something now, but if we don't reject it in our hearts, she is used to trying to do it first, because maybe this' inexplicable opportunity' is a hint for herself in the future.

In fact, there are many such examples. Wu Zhihong, a psychologist, first applied for biochemistry in Peking University, but the result was nearly 3 points worse, so he was not hired and was transferred to psychology. ? At that time, he didn't know the concept of psychology at all, so he still wanted to adjust back to biochemistry in his sophomore year. ? Who thought of freshman military training, after reading several books on psychology, a feeling emerged: There are so many interesting things in this world, that's what I want to learn, and I'll leave aside all the biochemistry and wireless electronics.

The book "Surrender Experiment" talks about a core concept: surrender. Life can work well on its own. The planet always runs in orbit, and the seeds will become towering trees. For hundreds of years, the climate pattern has been that the forests all over the world have enough water, and embryos can grow into beautiful babies. Every day, we want to fight against the power of life with our thoughts. We should respect the flow of life and participate in this natural process with our sense of freedom, instead of fighting it.

The reason why we are confused, puzzled, anxious and complaining about what is in front of us is that we are not smart enough to get rid of these negative packages and find out what the real gift is in the box. Therefore, when faced with a dilemma and looking at the present possibilities from the future, you can try to adjust yourself to a state where the problem has been solved five years later. From your own perspective in the future, you may have new ideas.

4. Complete freedom of time may bring emptiness.

Most people in the workplace are not free of time. It seems that it is because of the time that they travel without saying anything, and it is impossible to achieve a perfect balance between family and work. No matter what you're thinking, think about it in reverse is as interesting as its title. Then we might as well think about it in reverse. Suddenly, you don't have to work, and all the time is at your disposal. How will you spend your day, week, month and year?

The epidemic in 22 actually gave everyone such an opportunity. The whole of China pressed the pause button, and no matter what job you are engaged in, no matter what position you are in, you will have a completely free time. The time at one's disposal has suddenly increased, and the external conditions that limit time have all disappeared, but many people will be at a loss. After about two weeks, people who go to work begin to miss the days when they have work to do, and students who go to school begin to look forward to school. Many people will feel that the days of rest are more difficult than the days of work, and the sense of emptiness that emerges from time to time is even more restless. Even if our exterior suddenly stops, our heart can't stop, and we still want to keep moving all the time.

Safari Sabari mentioned in the book "The Awakening of the Family":

"Silence means to be quiet both externally and internally, which is one of the least exploited forces in our lives. Many of us are afraid of it and think it is meaningless because it means doing nothing. The state of silence makes many people feel uncomfortable, not only because it is contrary to what we have believed in keeping busy and doing something since childhood, but also because it makes us painfully face what the "true self" should be: nothing. "

5. No time days.

There is a concept in the Mayan calendar called "No Time Day", and one day every year is "No Time Day". It is equivalent to the central circle of this picture, and it exists to remind us that time does not exist, and time is an illusion. On this day, we can try to live freely. One day is not bound by time. We follow our body's feelings, eat when we are hungry, dance if we want, and take a walk if we want. The past days have turned into underground memories and nutrients, and the future days are about to expand new branches and leaves. It feels a bit like the "transitional sentence" we learned at school, which plays an important role and exists independently, neither belonging to the previous paragraph nor the next paragraph. It is a sentence of its own and plays a connecting role in the context.

6. Buddhists often say "live in the present". Is "the present" the present time?

"People often ask me: What does it mean to live in the present? And I often find that I can't find a satisfactory answer. The reason is that "the present" is not something that can be described or understood by theory. You can only experience it. We all know that we have to explain an experience to others, which is often unsatisfactory. " Safari Sabari, author of The Awakening of the Family, wrote this.

When Buddhists say "now", it's not what time we usually say, it's just the clock time. The "present" here emphasizes more on the moment and here, and our inner awareness and feelings are more inclined to psychological time. For example, at 2 noon, you are sitting in the restaurant downstairs of the company for lunch. Of course, we know it's lunch time, but more importantly, can you use all your body and mind to feel the food in front of you, its color, smell, taste and how it feels when it enters your stomach? How many of us can do this now? The meaning of eating has become social. The purpose of eating is to pull the list, and at the same time, you can brush TV series, friends circle and Taobao. I can hardly see a person sitting there eating quietly. If you can eat when you eat and drink when you drink, then you are living in the present.
