Hey everyone!
Have you ever wondered why time seems to go so fast? It is a question that seems to keep me preoccupied a lot. What is time? How does it change? How does my awareness effect time? Is there such thing as time? What is sacred time? How is time being used against us? Are there dimensions where time doesn’t exist?
I guess I have always felt that there was something beyond this material realm, a whole world in fact. There is so much we do not know about. What if what we believe is wrong?
I never felt comfortable celebrating the new year in January. It never felt right. Why would I celebrate when most of nature was hibernating? Should we rest just like them and come out in the spring? After my near-death experience, living with nature became second nature 🙂 I want to be like the plants, birds and animals. They seemed to have figured it out.
But I also came across the Persian New Year, which is celebrated during the Spring Equinox. They jump over a fire to signify leaving the past in the past and moving forward. Since then, I have been doing the same thing.
For me, time is a spiral. There is no imaginary future I am running towards. No anxiety or stress. There is nothing that will be found in the future that cannot be found now. Only the present counts. I see myself in my mind’s eye as exactly what I want to be and live from that. Every moment, I am just meeting the past version of myself.
It only makes sense to start the new year with the rhythm and the wisdom of nature. It makes sense to start new projects as spring emerges. Just like we start the day with the sun, and end the day with the night, then the new year should start when earth comes back to life again. It only makes sense.
