Observation – Space and Time September 15, 2014

 I have an interesting observation. It relates to Time and Space.

I lived on a quaint farm in Alberta, Canada from a babe to the age of 8. We had a few chickens, horses and cattle. Every memory I have of this farm is how grand it was and all the exploring done with our family dog, Cane – a black German Shepard. When my grandmother passed away I visited this farm with my older brother, over 15 years later. I was an adult at the time and I could not believe it was the same farm. The space was so different in regard to the size. The walk to the bus seemed to be miles as a child, now I gaze upon it and see only 20 yards. What was the root of this change in perception? Is it the time that had past? the size of my body changing the perception? How can time change my perception so drastically?

Another example is when I lived in BC for a year when I was 18, I revisited this place 10 years later and again the space seemed to be dramatically smaller.

I find this observation of perception changing very interesting as it relates to the material realm. I also find it interesting how the spiritual realm changes as time goes by. It is easier for me to comprehend the spiritual realm of consciousness changing perception because we can quantify this through experience and education/knowledge.

The material surroundings changing based on time passing fascinates me even more when I learn of the stars. When I gaze up at constellations and learn of the ancient myth associated with them I start to grasp the purpose time possess. It holds golden keys for the heart to see and the mind to comprehend. There is an eternity of perception available for the dreamer. The only box we are caged in is the mind. The awareness we harness from the flight of the spirit and the breath of the heart allows us to develop cosmic perception. What does this mean? Our surroundings will inevitably shrink as our perception broadens. We are energetic beings subject to change, this eternal flux is just as constant as time, annual seasons and universal precession.

Realizing time and space eternally change is nothing new. My observation was in the understanding and acceptance nothing will ever be the same. I will not be the same person one year from now, now will I love the same music ten years from now. This is the beauty of being alive, to continually experience, learn and grow. This growth will never cease and the progress will never cease to impress. Take a moment and look back at your life, reflect on all the amazing experience and people that have touched your heart, mind and soul.
