Changing time
Have you ever noticed how some people have a lot of time, and other people don't seem to have any time at all?
That's weird. I mean, there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day for everyone. But some people spend the 24 hours happy and relaxed, and some people spend the 24 hours serious and stressed. Relaxation and stress determine the consideration of how much time you have.
Really we are talking about free attention.
If you ask a stressful person to do something they'll say, "Oh, I can't possibly do that. I don't have time." Yet, from their viewpoint, time seems to pass at an agonizingly slow pace. Another person, more relaxed, might say, "Okay, I'll work that in this afternoon. No problem." Yet, from their viewpoint, time is whipping by. Doesn't this seem contradictory? To the person who sees time as passing slowly, there doesn't seem to be much time, but to the person who loses track of time, there seems to be lots of it.
Actually, time passes at the same speed for both of them. What is different is their ability to concentrate.
Concentration requires free attention.
