Unlimited Horizons
We undertake enormous efforts to avoid times considered uncomfortable; - and even greater efforts to extend or bring about times we deem exciting.
We base countless important decisions on this entirely personal, intuitive valuation what mood time triggers in us and how lively we feel while experiencing it.
The conventional 'time-line' idea completely ignores this inner valuation and its enormous effect on us. Yet - even if it seems hard to picture a different model - the current 'line-of-time-concept' is not a law of nature; - it's only one of many possible ways to interpret what we experience.
So - how do we really interact with time? Everything we do, all we experience, all we ever confront happens only in the PRESENT.
. We take what we currently (want to remember and define it as 'THE PAST -
- yet what fraction of this 'PAST' appears accessible to us at any given moment, and whether we see it in a positive or negative light, depends entirely on our current mood
. We take our expectations, hopes and dreads and define this as 'THE FUTURE'.
- yet what we deem possible for our 'FUTURE' may also change with every one of our moods.
