Timeless

Can I get my nerd on?

Thanks. =D

I've probably talked about this many times, but I'm going to do it again because it continues to fascinate me. I can really see how we were created to live forever, transcending time, basically. We say that time is constant: one second will always be one second. Time is a way to measure forward motion, and I think it's a pretty neat concept that we've managed to develop. But if time doesn't change, then how come there are periods where an hour feels like a minute and vice versa?

That's why I really think we were meant to not be bound by time, to live in eternity. I know it's a crazy idea to try to wrap our heads around, but I think we can experience glimpses of it on earth.

Example. If you told me, right now, that I've spent two and a half weeks at home already, I probably wouldn't believe you. I cannot explain to you how fast the last couple weeks have felt to me. I've basically lost track of time - part of trying to break into this dimension of timelessness. My entire mind, body, and spirit have seemed to enter this realm where time doesn't really exist, but at the same time does because of the reality of things. So, maybe instead of saying that my holiday has gone by too fast, I should say that this whole idea of time passing by has just kind of evaporated. Being in school and all that jazz seems so distant, like it's just a figment of my memory of something that happened some while ago. But, not only was it just a few weeks back that I was still writing and studying for finals, it kind of almost even seems like an irrelevant memory - it doesn't matter when it happened, it just did. So given my current state of existence, the only way I can really describe it, is that, I kind of just am. Time hasn't had its control on me because there haven't been any deadlines to meet, any errands to keep track of, all that kind of stuff that we usually pin some sort of time to.

This is why I love those stories that deal with time or different realms so much. Stuff like Chrono Cross, Inception, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, all that kind of stuff just blows my mind because they not only do they make you feel dumb by throwing all your presuppositions of this world out the window, but they make the understandings look real scrub. Furthermore, what I just said kind of reinforces even more the whole idea of timelessness. If we can somehow grasp these things, these unnatural phenomenon, and kind of turn them into something we can understand, then there's got to be some understanding or at least hypothetical grasps of something that exceeds anything we've ever come to know. All of our "laws" are made by these concepts to look like we're stupid and in some ways, these ideas feel even more real than what reality currently is.

Uhh, I think I may be going crazy. I think all of what I just wrote is what you call madness.. or maybe weird. Hard to believe that all of this sprouted from having an amazing week spent with my cousins for their winter holidays. I am glad that I had spent my last couple weeks the way I did, and it's given me insight into what I can expect life to be when it is fulfilled.

We really were made to transcend time and live in eternity. Just look at how the human body works and you might be able to see what I'm seeing.
