Life Time Mind, Externalize

I traveled for a long time in land near and far away,

It was my thirst that never let me sit still or stay,

The quest was to find the answer to the  question ultimate ,

The purpose of life, what, how.and where to find my own fate,

Slowly and slowly the realizations dawned to me,

Till one day i could see, as clear as it could be,

To my shock amd surprise the purpose was so simple,

To live and enjoy the happines presnent around us in ample,

This is the only life that all of us have got,

Also, this day, this hour, this minute, it returns ever not,

Be still, expand awareness,  open your eyes and u can see,

Hear, touch, feel the world you forgot to with be,

Mind when internalized can eat hours and days altogether,

Mind when externalized can work most and also enjoy the time at its leisure,

Life is but time, and master of time is the mind,

Freedom is by Learning the secret, the best of its kind,

Slow down, see, hear,  touch, feel and involve,

And start to think as the world slows its revolve 

With externalized awareness,  see yourself in the world outside

Also you see then, the whole world in your inside,

Hacking The Clock Or The Non Linear Time!

Is Time Linear? 

What actually is Time? 

Is time actually a construct? 

Though we have clocks that measure time upto Nanoseconds or lesser, but can they actually measure time, which has no physical attribute that can be measured? 

The clocks actually just count the cycles of a consistent oscillating process and then compare it to the revolution time or rotation time of Earth. 

On the practical side:

Time remains the most precious but unreplenishable resource exhausting every second, mercilessly.

Can nothing be done to slow the time even minutely! Can a few minutes be added? Will we ever come out of this shortness of Time?
Answer is 'Yes'.

The secret lies in our minds. Time has one more diamension, present in our minds. 

Time exists in our minds as well. Which means that Time moves as slow or as fast as we percieve it to.
For example, imagine a 100 m sprint. A Casual watcher who is bored, daydreaming or talking would almost fail to notice anything except the start or finish. An avid watcher would watch the race as it happens but at a very fast speed, too fast to watch all contestents. But the sprinter, for him the time slows down before the race starts, remains slow and becomes slower as his chest touches the ribbon. The experince of these persons of the same 10 seconds quite differ. For the casual watcher, these 10 seconds did not exist at all, for the avid watcher these were like 10 seconds and for the sprinter the time almost took half a minute as per his own perception. In sports many a time a batsman, bowler, golf player or football player finds himself watching the ball frame by frame, almost as if in a slow motion.

This is the power of concentration. The deeper the concentration, the slower is the time. Vice versa, the more fragmented the focus, the lesser aware the mind, the faster is the time. Amphetamines and other stimulats raise the wakefulness to this end.

So, by reducing the extra worries and random thoughts awareness can increase. 

Strangeness:

Another example: visiting an unknown place seems to take more time than a known place at the same distance. In fact, always, going to an unknown place seem to take a lot more time than coming back. Reason is awareness, in this case known as strangeness.

A strange unknown environment raises concentration or awareness and then the time slows down.
Another well known example, while running and falling the time slows down.

 Also a strong slap and its stimulus to the mind, slows down time considerably. This technique is used heavily in Zen temples, where a master sometimes slaps or hits a pupil who seems to be at the threshold of enlightent, who is missing the final piece of the jigsaw, who is missing just the "bit". 

In such a case, a slap or a hit might bring him to the strangeness state of mimd, that moment of time of heightened awareness when everything comes into place and the light is switched on in the dark, as if a myopic suddenly got the correct glass suddenly.

This is the value of strangeness.
In fact enlightemnt is nothing but a moment of strangeness after one or more lifetimes of query, search and meditation.

The strangeness is also the reason, that travelling helps so much in this query. When going through unknown areas and meeting strange people,  one is in a deeper awareness,can question, observe and think over the same things, that he would miss entirely at his own home.
Another exaple of this is that while we can notice all the cobwebs and spiders in the drawing room of a host we are visiting, we do do not notice much larger ones in our own drawing room.
So, the secret of the time is the awareness. By keeping our minds lighter loaded and externalising our minds, we can improve our awareness and then we can be far more efficient, productive and successful. Hours, Days, months and Life will all become longer in your own frame of reference resulting in success and thereby happiness
Some suggestions to this purpose are organizing things and routine, cutting down TV time, being online once in a day or only as per need rather than the present 'always on' system,  Reducing the 'multitasking' as far as possible and greatest of all, by meditating.
Good luck to you in developing awareness and harnessing the most previous resource of time!

Anxiety is Actually Ignorance!

One was a worried, anxious person who thought himself as an earthly being on an earthly journey to divinity, till one realized that one was actually a free divine being on a short earthly journey back to divinity!! 

Being a good me rather that a bad him!

In social circles, among co-workers, within friends we often get the feeling of lesser-ness compared to someone we highly appreciate. It may be his/her  behaviour, smartness, attitude, leadership or any other attribute that we appreciate and one may find oneself seriously wanting in that attribute per his own assessment.

However trying to be that person maybe a serious folly.

First of all no one has been sent empty hand to this world. We all r unique in our own ways. Even if we r unaware, we may posses unique skills, arts, ways and quirks of our own far surpassing many others.

Before getting introduce to computers at an age of 20, I never imagined I could be a near-wizard on them. 

Similarly before climbing the stage or 

Picking up a drawing book I never imagined I was so good in them. 

So shun all fears, pick up things, fail in some and excel in some. Its worth it. 

Also many of use feel as a misfit many a timed and underate self due to this alleged shortfall.

Trust me it's not a shortfall at all. All the great achievements of of human history have been mostly due to some misfit, some oddball, some idiosyncratic guy, rather than run of mill standard shape and size cool people. 

So cherish ur oddness, it's ur out-of-box-Ness, ur originality that comes handy many a times and accomplishes where the "fit" ones fail one after other.

So, first no need of feeling smaller, we r just different.

Celebrate your you-Ness, after all there is only one of you in the whole damn world. 

Secondly appreciate others, try to improve on ur shortfalls too, but don't ever try to be another copy of that person. That might turn out to be a fiasco as while two of that person might be excess, also in effort of becoming him/her u may turn out  to be neither u nor him.

So lets just identify our shortcomings, improve upon them, find our unique skills and excel in them and confidently take our place. 

Becuase as we discussed used, its always far far better to be a Great version of self that being a poor copy of someone else.
