Time passes, but not in your mind

Published by

on

I believe that the greatest wonder in the world is mind. And it is the super-fast traveller in the universe. It can travel back and forth in time. Mind tries to pull or push you away from present. It makes you wander in the past and future.

It is not time bounded. There is no start or end for the mind journey. No one can tie it down. Therefore there is no time in mind.

Oh.. mind is winning over time.. It is really great while thinking more on it.

We always tell like ‘time will go on’. But often we forget about the exception, i.e. our own mind. Our thoughts wander here and there like a free horse, sometimes slowly, sometime swiftly.

When we think about the whole universe, it is rolling over time from past to future.. (or is it from future to past..?. I donno.)

There is no return path for the life in universe.  It cannot go back to past (or can it go back?, I donno). Time passes whether we measure it or not..

But time does not exist in mind. It is freed from time. Have you wondered about this mystery of mind..?

    I agree. But not only wonder that nature has created but also the greatest possession that humankind ever can! I read an article https://cheaptale.blogspot.in/2017/08/greatest-possession-of-mankind.html in which it said that the mind is also a nonsense creation. Contradiction but nice article.

    Great thoughts, dear. The human mind is amazing. Not only can it hold tons of memories, it can also travel to any place, anytime. Nammal physically oridathanenkilum our mind can travel to places miles away. Distanceum timeum onnum illa. No boundaries. Only limited by our imaginations. It’s like having an unlimited open ticket to travel anywhere, alle..

    Our mind is so powerful since nothing can tie it down. It is free and has no boundaries..

    Our mind is working all the time..though time passes what stays engraved in our minds stays the same.. everything associated with it too.. though the instances may be old or history it still knows how to cope with it in the current time on the other hand the heart can disturb you.. heart can over rule your mind..

    This was kind of a nice notion for me. I can see myself as maybe an archaeologist, or a famous singer… (though I think that future is probably unlikely!) …or with grey hair (which is far more likely), or even slim??!! ha ha. In your mind you can be 12 years old, I can remember falling off my roller skates and breaking my arm on my 13th birthday. I can be in high school again (yikes) or giving birth or in London or digging for opals. I can have influenza or be cuddling my two year old. Yes….this is the benefit of a mind with no time.
    It’s called memory. What a wonderful thing. My mother is still smiling at me, after all these years.
    Thankyou.

    I really loved reading all of your notions. This one in particular got to me. Mind indeed lies in a timeless realm. To run away from all of my worries i sometimes create this world within my mind. It’s not an illusion but more of like a bounded world free of past, present and future. It helps me calm down myself. Have a moment of peace without having any thought of any kind. As soon as this world gets destroyed the mind again races back and and forth between what was, what is and what will be. I hope i don’t sound vague lol.
