I just wrote an article for the Masters of the Secret affiliates to use on their blogs or newsletters… probably the most personal article I’ve ever shared with our community or affiliates.
It’s called Time-Flying: How to Employ the Law of Perspective to Master Manifesting; but I like to just refer to it as My Perspective on Perspective.
It’s about an experience Barry and I had when out hiking, just before I went to Toronto to get my stuff.
This is how it starts out:
Have you ever noticed that it always seems to take longer going somewhere than it does coming back?
It doesn’t matter if we’re walking or driving or taking a plane; I have never had the experience where it seemed to take longer on the way back, and I’m pretty confident in betting that your experiences have been the same.
Is it anticipation on the way to a destination that seems to make it take longer? That factor that prompts kids to repeatedly ask, “Are we there yet?” when on a travel vacation?
Or is it the grand-daddy of all fears, the fear that is at the basis of almost every fear known to man; the fear of the unknown?
The fear of the unknown is really why we think we’re afraid of success. It’s also why we’re afraid of failure, rejection, the dark, heights, public speaking, and yes, death. Think about it. When somebody asks you why you’re afraid of something, chances are you’re going to answer, “because I don’t know what’s going to happen if…”
Similarly, when you’re going somewhere you’ve never been before, you “don’t know what’s going to happen if…” which could conceivably make it seem longer than coming back from that destination, where you know exactly what’s in store for you.
Then it goes on to talk about what Barry and I experienced while hiking through one of the most beautiful parts of Southern Oregon; where the way back, as expected, seemed much shorter than the way in (and actually WAS 10 minutes shorter), despite the tiredness, aches and pains on the way back.
It doesn’t seem to make sense… and yet I was able to meditate in motion, and get some insight about what was going on, which turned out to be rooted in the Law of Perspective:
So on our little journey, we perceived space as getting smaller as we connected with the “known” entity of a path we’d been on before. And we perceived time as getting shorter in conjunction with the smaller space.
We also perceived the energy required to take us home as being less than what was required to take us on the outward adventure, because on the way out we had to conserve what energy we had in case it got used up too soon; but on the way back we knew how much it would take.
And along with more perspiration came more inspiration; or, while our bodies got more tired, our souls got more inspired. And inspired entities always experience the phenomenon of “time flying”; which of course is, again, the Law of Perspective at work.
In all honesty, we didn’t set out to learn any big truths or unwrap any mysteries of life; but sometimes when you connect with someone, when you connect with your environment and can be in the moment during that connection, and when you’re constantly searching for answers to mysteries… well, the answers just come.
The bottom line to what I learned is that having fun makes time fly; and that being grateful makes it easy to have fun; and that the state of being grateful and having fun, especially when you’re able to share it with someone you love, is the fastest way to manifesting more fun and more things to be grateful for.
So that’s my perspective on perspective… and the art of Time-Flying.
Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!
