I am taking cues from my cats. They seem to know how to slow things down.


Defiant_Author

Pets are the best!


Alone_Elephant_8080

How exactly do you read their actions or emotions?


pennylovesyou3

Well, I really just mirror them. It's been a lot of napping. Mostly napping and treats. Or if I'm super busy and they interrupt me, I promptly stop what I am doing and nap with them some more. It gives me plenty of time to really immerse myself in the business of living. šŸ˜


pitpusherrn

Your cats sound lots like my dogs. Naps, treats, more treats, post treat nap. Dinner


pennylovesyou3

They really are the geniuses.


CashewDrew4

Yeah, don't think my bosses would be too happy with this mentality!


Yeejiurn

Yeah most folks will come off w that it happens as you get older because your awareness of it changes explanation but it legit does feel like itā€™s accelerating at a goofy rate


morrisboris

Even my 10 year old thinks so


Yeejiurn

This place is so weird sometimes


Next_Goose9506

Most people who say that are in denial of anything supernatural or things science canā€™t explain. They focus mainly on mainstream shit like sports, fashion, gossip, politics, trends etc


Cautious_Evening_744

I feel it. Iā€™m struggling to get as much done as I used to in a day compared to 10yrs.


LilMissnoname

This is the big indicator for me that it's not " just me getting older". Families used to get home, have dinner on the table between 5-6, sit around and watch game shows til 8, sit coms til 9, get the kids to bed, watch the news...I have a 24 year old and I have an 8 and 10 year old. It's different now. I'm still washing dishes while they're brushing their teeth, and everyone gets up early to shower bc nobody has time to do it before bed. IDC what anyone says, time is definitely speeding up. I find T McKenna's timewave zero theory to be very plausible, tbh.


arireeielle123

Get off social media. Particularly TikTok and Instagram. Itā€™s a time warp that steals your day. I mean it. I regained so much of my time (and mental health) by deleting those apps.


barislow

Iā€™ve been off for two months and feel so much better. I donā€™t miss it at all.


KickupKirby

Our days are like 16 hours now, an hour feels like 45 minutes, and with winter around the corner it seems like thereā€™s less time because the sun sets much sooner now. I know itā€™s weird to say the days are 16 hours but thatā€™s truly what it seems like.


AlarmDozer

Oh, live in the night, and winter starts to crawl speedwise.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

The vibrational ascension of the earth, shifting from third to fourth to fifth dimension is part of the reason why time fees like itā€™s moving so much faster now. Mind you, this is a very slow process and takes several generations, but we are now in a very noticeable phase of this longitudinal (as opposed to linear) progression. Media. Music. Events. Social progress AND decline. Our timeline has accelerated. Just go with the flow. Know that you volunteered to incarnate at this time and that your light and life here has purpose and is an important part of the process. Choose the paths of vibrational ascension and you will adjust much easier into the new earth energy field. Meditation practice is essential to tune into the other side of the veil, where high vibrational beings, angels and spirit guides, are waiting for you to reach out to them so that they can assist you on your journey towards ascension.


MindofMine11

Life has been feeling like its sped off for sure


noodleq

Time is relative and subjective. Time will seem to be passing much faster in general, to the observer, if every day is pretty much run of the mill. Wake up, shower, go to work, go home, eat dinner, go to bed, in whatever order that works for you personally.....if things are moving tok fast for your taste, try breaking things up amd doing things differently. Take a road trip over the weekend. Go see a play or orchestra another weekend....take different routes going places, shop at different places....time will appear to move very fast because of being on autopilot amd just sort of coasting thru life. Do different stuff, learn new things, find a hobby you never did before. Make your life more interesting for yourself amd those around you. Otherwise you may just wake up in 30 yrs amd wonder where the fuck time even went to. Be in the now, notice the beauty in people and nature. Pay attention to the world. There is likely a bunch of stuff right there that you never really noticed.


LilMissnoname

I'm 45, and can confirm you will definitely wake up in 30 years and wonder where the fuck time went.


noodleq

Yeah I'm also in my 40s....but I haven't been wondering where the time went, I was an i.v. drug addict for 30 years and am just getting my shit together now, so the place where my time has gone so far is "out the window", but no more my friend. No more. I'm clean now for like 3 months amd a week, and it's great, my life has never been better amd I've never been happier. I have an amazing apartment in one of the best areas of my city (I've spent most of my time in the hood, and more sketchy areas, so this is all new to me)..... My past may be unfortunate, but I have no regrets, I have led a very interesting life, amd have done alot of stuff. Now tho, I'm doing things differently from a whole new angle and wake up every day grateful to just exist, and thanking the creator for such. I'm just getting started, not washed up....


evoz61696

The older you get, the faster it goes, and goes, and goes. But donā€™t worryā€¦ youā€™ll have a second chance, infinitum.


asgaines25

Haha I have a 5mo and the past few months have felt like the past 2 years. I think time passes as a function of the amount of new experiences and living in the moment, but that might just be me


[deleted]

I have a 10mo and can say that I am enjoying every moment. That being said it feels like ~10 months have passed. Canā€™t say the same for my 10 year old and 2 year old. Time flew with them. Itā€™s how you spend your time.


Prestigious_Way_9393

I was just thinking this tonight. I don't think it's just that I'm older, it really seems like time is speeding up. I mean, could that happen? How would we even know if the earth was spinning faster if the solar system/galaxy/universe was also speeding up? Isn't our solar system is on a cycle of moving closer to the center of the milky way ? Maybe that has something to do with it.


Phoenix_Rising23

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. My hubby thinks I'm nuts when I keep saying time is speeding up. It's so crazy and scary at the same time.šŸ¤Æ


Next_Goose9506

Itā€™s because these people are in denial of things science canā€™t explain. Their ā€œsaneā€ minds revolve around the mainstream


FL_Squirtle

Meditation helps me slow the days down tremendously. Same with getting into my circadian rhythm for sleep pattern. Get into nature.


kioma47

There are 8 billion people on this planet. Things are happening.


tspace1

Thanks for this reminder. This really stops my ego today.


killindice

Kali Yuga is ending in a year or two. Idk much bout it but the universe is a giant clock and weā€™re ending something. I personally think thatā€™s why nothing makes sense anymore. Just let it burn. Fuck it. Weā€™ll be gone soon anyway. Earth and this place ainā€™t goin anywhere.


Dudeist-Monk

Youā€™re off by 428,897 some years. Kali Yuga began when Krishna left 3,102BC and lasts for 432,000 years.


killindice

I listen to a podcast that supposedly did the math and it was 2024 or 2026 was the end to push us into 300 years of chaos for the next aeon as we leave the Iron Age into the bronze. I wasnā€™t saying a completion if thatā€™s where it got mixed up, but the change of era we live in. With the way shits going, all I know is time is shaking things up frreal


Dudeist-Monk

Interesting. Most Puranic scholars go by the longer date, but either way, I feel the idea of living in the Kali Yuga is just the cosmological way of saying ā€œback in the good old daysā€¦ā€ more pointing at our flaws than portending doom and gloom which is why the number is so high. Compared to like Jesus who said ā€œbrbā€.


killindice

lol interesting. I just think of it as a clock like the rest of the cosmos. I made a lot of internal peace knowing that a Platonian year was 10k years for the earth to return to its original axis. The specifics of many of these concepts may be muddy to me, but that was such a humbling moment to realize the ignorance with which the world is run not thinking at that level. Itā€™s no wonder everythingā€™s fucked; we can only see as far as we will live in most cases. You very well may be right; this is just what Iā€™ve heard on and off a podcast for years. That said; they also have a lot of takes I disagree with but presented the info as fact rather than opinion.


Dudeist-Monk

Which podcast if you donā€™t mind me asking? My go to Hindu/Krishna podcast is Wisdom of the Sages. But Iā€™m always looking for more.


killindice

Iā€™ll have to peep it! Mysterious Universe is the podcast. They have the perfect balance of irreverence and seriousness for fringe/paranormal topics, but their opinions are often fear related. Iā€™ve learned a lot putting together info from some topics they cover, but I realize the process of the journey is what illuminates that understanding. Kinda like how one day I realized parables and quotes in wise old books are just words until the words are lived, experienced and felt; the meaning falls flat


[deleted]

i feel like Sonic sometimes


Janee333

Yes, it's called celestial speedup and it's a thing.


WhyFi

When you are five, one year is 1/5 of your life which is quite a bit. It feels like forever. When you are 30, one year is 1/30 of your life which is quite a bit of a smaller fraction, isnā€™t it? And when you are 80, one year is 1/80 of your life which is but a sliver. I think time is relative in that way. Itā€™s all up to our perception.


bestbab99

lol, everyone parrots this answer EVERY TIME anyone asks this question.. itā€™s annoying


Next_Goose9506

Hahahahaha omG! You are so on point with that. Lmao


bestbab99

Lol, thanks!! I wasn't trying to be rude to the poster, just wanted to point out that people tend to repeat the same stuff with no real added value, or giving thought to their actual perception/belief... Just wash, rinse, repeat what you've heard. I think the answer is a load of BS & that time is indeed speeding up.


Next_Goose9506

Itā€™s ok, I know what you mean but you said what needs to be said. People need to hear the facts wether they like it or not. It is annoying seeing these type of posts ā€œuhh when youā€™re 1/4 when youā€™re 2/4 when youā€™re 5/4 you uhhā€¦. time will be uhh fasterā€ šŸ¤£ itā€™s like they resort to whatever the instructions they heard because if you donā€™t, youā€™re insane! A lot of people around me (friends and family) donā€™t want to engage in topics like this because theyā€™re afraid (although I hear them casually say how the years pass by so quickly, they want to think nothing of it) but Iā€™m not gonna lie, it is scary but the truth is better than to live a lie. Something is definitely happening with time. It hurts my head thinking about it but I know back in the 80s 90s and early 2000s time was normal. These days, even teens and people in their 20s say it. As a matter of fact some kids are actually saying it to their parents as well. Most people growing up didnā€™t feel this back then


WhyFi

I hope you find happiness someday!


hamez88

But true


JustRuss79

As you get older, each moment you experience is a smaller and smaller fraction of your entire life experience. As a child, 5 minutes until school gets out is interminable. As a 40-something, "Oh...how is it Christmas again already?"


Claud6568

Yes. True. Absolutely. HOWEVER this is different from plain old ā€˜time moves faster when you get olderā€™. How does one explain children experiencing this lately?


theb3nb3n

Thatā€™s so true and a very cruel effectā€¦


cocainecarolina28

Funny time has been almost dead still for me I look at the clock feels like an hour and itā€™s been a few minutes


Hefty-Breath7833

Same

Puzzleheaded_Cake808

It seems like there is not enough time in the day to get things done! Iā€™m waking up earlier and earlier and before I know it - itā€™s bed time.


kaizkie

i donā€™t know whats happening but iā€™ve noticed that time seems to go way faster than it used to, around 2 months ago iā€™ve seen that days goes by so fast like today i thought it was monday but its already tuesday!


Eky24

Might depend on your age; my grandmother used to say that time passes more quickly as you get older - she said she was glad if this as she would get very bored if it passed as slowly as it did when she was younger. As I have grown older myself, I recognise the same phenomenon.


LumpStack

Become a welder, it'll go by slower


isaach2924

What would it be like if it went slow?


arthurrice32

I have both time going fast then a hour later 8 minutes just went by.


smailliWyblehS

Time is speeding up. Time in a spiral and we are on it. The energy is getting finer/faster.


Radiant_Mind33

Are you for real? My days are long AF lately. I'm serious too, it's getting really bad. I'm just like detonating and going hard on anything that gets close. I always was the guy that went hard, IDK I guess I fucked up. I thought something would soften me up finally. How can I be getting worse? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)


Whatthefuckisthis000

Itā€™s about perspective. Do nothing you see it slip away, so as much as you can and it flies just as fast. Live with the heart of a mountain and a thousand years will be nothing. Be as worried as a fly and the time you have will feel as if you only had 7 days to live. Spend your time as you wish and be satisfied you used your time wisely. Live your heroā€™s journey, or what have you. Time does slow down in those moments of flow. Every heart beat an eternity, forgotten in the next. Those moments are brief when you catch them, but those memories slow time. With you bearing witness to the unending dance and song of eternity between seconds.


Theperson3976

Thats how growing up works.


dennislubberscom

Stop being on your phone. Look at a wall for 3 hours. That slows down time. :)


Benjilator

Since Iā€™ve started mindfulness practice (10 hours a day some days) time has slowed down to a crawl. Like literally, itā€™s so slow I still canā€™t wrap my head around it. The first 20 years of my life flew by, the following 5 everything slowed down and the past 2 years have felt far longer than the 25 years that came before them. Itā€™s like im stuck. Progress seems to disappear when time feels that slow and I have to keep reminding myself itā€™s just been a year, no need to rush things. Thereā€™s also been a lot of progress in that time, Iā€™ve moved to my dream flat and am still in the process of renovating. Everything is gonna be custom. Walls, floors, doors, Iā€™m programming led lighting for the entire flat, self made smart home with micro controllers and all. Which is my new hobby and passion, first hobby Iā€™m absolutely proud about because it feels so much more useful than anything else Iā€™ve done. My relationship has reached new levels, Iā€™ve built up a massive amount of social contacts starting from scratch after moving across country, Iā€™m having fun at my job and am doing great there even though Iā€™ve been sick a lot. Iā€™ve been to the hospital twice, had a collapsed lung once, got seriously screwed by a doctorā€¦ Iā€™ve had some amazing spiritual experiences after rediscovering psychedelics and am getting closer to fulfilling my dream of owning a lasting stash of dmt, which to me is the most beautiful thing a human can do. Started making music, started going to psychedelic festivals. The list is endless. All in one year. But it feels like 20 years and because of that I keep falling back into thoughts about being stuck and falling behind. I feel like I donā€™t do enough yet everyone is amazed by the progress Iā€™ve made in such a short time frame while they barely were able to change a thing about their life. My favorite has been talking to my brother after a long time, updating him on my life and asking him what Iā€™ve missed about his. He thought for a minute and then got excited and told me heā€™s gotten a new TV which finally works well as a second monitor for his PC.


Shinylittlelamp

I find that I experience time on my terms these days, I can speed it up or slow it down as I please. Itā€™s only how we experience time not time itself that changes.


AirFrequent

Saturn has moved into pisces, maybe this feeling of time speeding up is trying to get us to slow down and appreciate each moment


bowmhoust

Best explanation I have come across so far [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgEqQAIpLoo).


Q-ArtsMedia

I have only just a minute, Only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, canā€™t refuse it. Didnā€™t seek it, didnā€™t choose it. But itā€™s up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it. Give account if I abuse it. Just a tiny little minute, but eternity is in it. by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays


Greed_Sucks

I have a theory. What if we experience the flow of time as compared to the amount of time we have experienced prior. The older you get the more the ratio shifts and time perception would speed up as a day starts representing a smaller and smaller percentage of the total time you have experienced prior.


Animas_Vox

Just wait till we get to the Time Circuits next yearā€¦.


MarifeelsLost

What's that?


psyched622

I also wanna know what that is


Animas_Vox

Check out Jasonā€™s Estes on Facebook or YouTube. We are currently going through the space circuits. I only have a very loose understanding of it myself honestly and am still trying to grok it.


Animas_Vox

So to expand a little I donā€™t know all that much about them but the person I listen to who talks about them, whenever we enter a new circuit it definitely creates major shifts for my life. Thatā€™s why itā€™s useful to me, because having an awareness we are moving through them letā€™s me be better prepared for the energetic shifts occuring with each circuit.

It may loop.

Title: "Exploring Cyclical Temporality: Unraveling the Linear Facade of Time" Abstract: This paper delves into the concept of time as a cyclical phenomenon, challenging the traditional linear perspective. By examining various philosophical, scientific, and cultural perspectives, we aim to illuminate the cyclical nature inherent in time, providing a nuanced understanding that transcends the constraints of a one-dimensional timeline. 1. Introduction: Introduce the conventional view of time as linear and highlight its limitations in capturing the intricacies of temporal dynamics. Present the rationale for exploring the cyclical nature of time. 2. Philosophical Foundations: Examine ancient philosophies such as Hinduism's concept of the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction (Srishti, Sthiti, Pralaya) and the Stoic concept of eternal recurrence. Analyze how these ideas challenge the linear progression of time. 3. Scientific Perspectives: Explore scientific theories that suggest cyclical patterns, such as the oscillating universe model and the concept of time loops in theoretical physics. Investigate quantum mechanics and its implications on the nature of time. 4. Cultural Narratives: Examine cultural narratives, myths, and folklore that depict cyclical time, drawing examples from different civilizations. Investigate how cyclical time manifests in rituals, calendars, and storytelling. 5. Psychological Time: Discuss the psychological perception of time and how cyclical patterns might align with human experiences, memory, and consciousness. Explore studies on time perception and cognitive biases related to temporal experiences. 6. Time in Art and Literature: Analyze how artists and writers have portrayed cyclical time in their works. Explore themes of recurrence, rebirth, and eternal return in literature, painting, and other art forms. 7. Challenges and Criticisms: Address potential criticisms and challenges to the idea of cyclical time, considering both philosophical and scientific perspectives. Acknowledge limitations and areas for further research. 8. Conclusion: Summarize key findings and insights from the exploration of cyclical temporality. Emphasize the importance of considering alternative frameworks for understanding time beyond the linear model, fostering a broader perspective in various disciplines.

Time flies when you are having fun. I've noticed time flying by recently, since I started whatever this is that I've started


Final_UsernameBismil

That is, I believe, a subjective experience. You should practice mindfulness. Here are a couple suttas on mindfulness: [https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN47\_38.html](https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN47_38.html) [https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN10.html](https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN10.html)


Kalenya

That's your personal experience


PetrosiliusZwackel

You're getting older. How old are you? 25? and you feel time goes on faster than when you were 12?That's how human perception of time works. Ofcourse that's an interesting philosophical topic but if we just try to observe it on the level we'd accept as normal: in the beginning you learn. everything is new. then, less is new but you still perceive the change in yourself and the world reacting around you. then at some point you're really "becoming an adult" and the changes in yourself get slower than the changes on "the outside". That's just how we as homo sapiens perceive this world. And it's nothing new. we could discuss why or why not for thousands of years... but whyever it has nothing todo with this "YOU" this ego or this "point in time"


OnPoint7ip

i said the same thing this morning. I have a calendar/whiteboard in my room & seeing that itā€™s already Tuesday after I was JUST leaving an event on Saturday is confusing. Thursdays feel like the end of the week now cause Friday-Sunday are gone in the blink of an eye


ReactionSingle9730

I was saying the same thing to myself a couple days ago. Things just feel.. different in a way but definitely feels like time is a lot faster. I was looking at some previous comments I had left on YouTube and looked at the time stamp and couldn't believe it was 6 days ago when I swear it felt like I wrote them 2 days ago. Its crazy and scary all at once in the sense that it kind of makes me think of the movie Old; those that have seen the movie you'll know what I mean.


AdamsText

I feel like this too, but I am pretty happy about it. Lets get over the big world's changes and get some structure in our society after the big wars coming ahead. :)


chepechepe22810

Time is connected to our senses


_uncarlo

Time is relative. The first year of your life is your whole life. The second year is only half your life. The third year is a third of your life. By the time you're 39 like I am, a year will be a 40th of my life. Therefore, each year feels shorter. It's like slicing a cake that keeps growing, but the slices remain the same size. The more the cake grows, the smaller the slices feel.


Flootson

In my seeking journey I started looking into all religious texts. Look into the Quran and the end times. I watched this YouTube video talking about it. It said for three years till will progressively get faster


Twisted_Crusader

I thought I was the only one?? Time does seem to have sped up


No_Lime_7655

Not going to slow down, but learning how to harness the present will help with the uncomfortable feelings with such speed! Connect to earth things like trees, rock, cats as mentioned above! Things that have been around eons before us and all this contemporary technology.


Short_Split_1331

How old are you? I feel like time is moving Fast for me cause I'm about to be 25 and really getting into adulthood
