"I remember that in those times in Egypt, we were certainly conscious of
living in several dimensions at the same time, and our liaison with other
worlds was in no doubt. I felt a deep connection with myself and an infinite
love with all what surrounded me. I could see those who died and could
communicate with them and I could cross these barriers of time and space
while using the energy of love. All that was above was as down below - all
was sacred, all was one. I reviewed again these big sunny parties where a
collective joy transported us in a kind of spiritual drunkenness, where each
person realized the truth of what he is, and what he does, from where he
came, and where he would return to."
--personal recollections of Nicole
The Egyptians had attempted to respond to the problem of 'linear' time by
organizing events and moments in a more interesting way. Work, daily life
and celebrations were regulated rhythmically in the annual calendar of
Egypt. More than 120 days of collective parties were programmed in a year to
allow the regeneration of men and women living on the earth of Egypt. It was
the means to regenerate collectively, the idea being to stop the
'ordered' time and return to a more 'chaotic' time, where each person can
find new means to express himself and to live to his rythme and according to
his deep aspirations.
In our current life we also need to do this, to break the flow in ways that
we would like, otherwise a frustration follows that wears us down quickly.
We go out on a Saturday evening, have national celebrations and carnivals,
enjoy the weekend with our family, and take a big vacation in the summer.
This allows us the possibility to live for ourselves and to convert our time
into a more personal form.
But we need to be conscious. To create our time at each instant, rather as a
road that appears progressively in front of us and on which one one
advances. Kryon describes this in his book "The Journey Home" where a person
learned to use a map to direct his life. The map was completely blank except
when he had faith enough and remembered to look at it in the present moment,
when it most mattered - only then did the map came to life and indicate the
direction and way that was so needed.
On Earth, we are dependent on the time that passes inexorably and sometimes
it is difficult for us to accept this continuation of endless boring minutes
of work, a interminable discussion on uninteresting subjects, an intolerable
headache, a forced solitude... Or in other circumstances we may feel an
immense joy, to like and be liked, to the point that we want to stop the
time or make it infinite so that this instant lasts forever.
The time that passes jostles us and can wear us out; we can become old very
fast if we don't stop the emotional circuits and mental patterns we become
trapped in, prisoners of time. When we are active and interested, time
passes quickly and in retrospect seems rich; when we are inactive and bored,
not living our own purpose, time passes slowly and in retrospect seems
empty. So we need to become conscious of the present time, to recreate our
lives constantly, aligned with our true purposes.
This 'spiritual' time is a different approach from the usual for it has a
connection, 'vertical' and profound, with all the dimensions that compose
us. It requires us to be conscious of who we are, what our goals are and how
we can best work to achieve them. The kind of insights we obtain from
The Insight Project. The 'fractures' at the end of the week, or all other means
to stop the linear time, are for us a modern means to check our own time.
This new space then becomes a source of regeneration, allowing us to remain
young and to approach the next day with a fresh viewpoint.
