Re: So Does Life Flash By in the Blink of an Eye, Or Drag Out One Minute at a Time?
Or both? The wife keeps lamenting how fast the time flies. How quickly the kids grow up. How fast we age. I understand the concept, but for me at least, life seems to drag on hour by hour, day be day, decade after decade. When I look back after 63 years in this plane of existence, I am amazed at the many lives I seem to have lived. The many phases or chapters that when you add them all up simply stagger my mind as to how much I have been through and how much work I have had to do for so long now. How's life going for you guys?
 Quoting: Black Knight


I think life goes slow when your younger, as you look for new things to happen

Getting you first license

Becoming an adult

Being legal to drink, even if you don't, just knowing you are of age to if you wanted

First car

First job

First house

Marriage

Children

Etc...

Then once you get a certain age, I believe it was in my mid 30s, time started to go a little faster.

Now mid 40s life flies by, I mean a year goes by so wuick, way faster then it use to, at least it seems that way to me

Re: So Does Life Flash By in the Blink of an Eye, Or Drag Out One Minute at a Time?
You see. Time is complex.

Life is also complex

Without time, there is only information that's embedded into the ether
Also without an observer,there is only information still.
With time and a body, you get to EXPEREINCE life. The information gets executed and has time to develop and use its senses and observe itself and the world.




You see this simulation is self running. It is just information coded that wants to express itself and experience the world . In order to experience the coded information, it runs the lifetime as an executable program.

It has many kinds of life forms from plants to animals to humans and they all have more or less senses to perceive the coded information through the time medium

And that is why time and life exists.

Now most people feel as they get older , the days go by faster. This is due to time stacking. Your life is like a book. Once you are midway through, your last half of the book , you only remember the parts that stood out , while the rest was just meaningless days that you didn't remember well to make note of it later . This is why it feels the days are shorter. The book is being skimmed through.

I know a lot

Re: So Does Life Flash By in the Blink of an Eye, Or Drag Out One Minute at a Time?
Whether or not it flashes by or is compressed into a minute or several, the bottom line for me is: WHO THE HECK CARES?

Whatever the process of death and dying looks like - whatever the physical and spiritual process of leaving this mortal coil may be - we are ALL GOING TO FIND OUT what it may be and how it works soon enough. And until then, I can see no benefit in knowing the details. Whatever is to be the end of life process for us here, we are all going to experience it at some point in time. Maybe tomorrow and maybe 500 years from now, or longer? We do not know when it will happen. But we do know that now, in spite of the best efforts of science and medicine, it is going to happen.

I think the sanest approach is to resolve that you will deal with it when and as it comes. Nothing you can do now is going to change that time when you reach it. Your life will be evaluated by GOD as you understand him or her and your eternal destination will be decided, not by what you know about the final hours but what you did on this earth for the 70plus years you were given here.

Flashing or dragging by in a minute or an hour or a month... makes no difference. It is what it is and it will happen as it is supposed to.

I sure hope people are wrong about this idea that the archons whisk your soul up and recycle you right back into a new body to harvest your energy all over again. I can't imagine having to live another lifetime...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73863475



I've loved my life so far...sure, there's been some ups and downs but overall it's been great. Being 60, time seems to go sooooo fast....I remember back to those childhood summers that never seemed to end....

I also think that we baby boomers have had the best years of any generation. I just hope we don't leave everyone else a filthy, dead planet.

Re: So Does Life Flash By in the Blink of an Eye, Or Drag Out One Minute at a Time?
I have family member many really that gone on, I know they are find, now that saying something, I really know they fine.

Now, I have to wait while they are doing fine, I do think about them all the time, that fine, too. They do not really stop just because they are gone.

Now as for life, being 67 years young, I can say the very young want to be older, you know a child will say, just you wait till I am old enough and I will show you. I heard the same words out of the mouth of many children in my days. They in a rush, teen years they rush some more, they hit that 20 or 21 mark and say I am hear, well not for long for in the next short time they will be 30 and then the slide is going fast then faster. I ok to think about the future, please be a nice person and do not rush head long into the following years without learning the lessons in life, or you will be a sad old grumpy person that feels old, or at least they want their youth back, so they are grumpy and not that happy or at least content which is sometime better, content.

Happy sometimes and sad others, that life, just learn everyone has to do the same, it how you handle it.

I always use the slides for the way years go. The other part is, you do change for each part of life at least I think most do, wouldn't everyone need to do this?
Sorry I got a headache

These are the times that tries men's and
women's souls!

May we come though it victorious!

Time is a microcosm of the rate of your consciousness. You age as fast as your consciousness discovers itself. The more you become conscious, the faster time goes.

 Quoting: Black Knight



So a bit of a back ground for my personal experience, but when I was about 7 years old I was at pool during the summer. I was an inexperienced swimmer and attempted to jump onto a raft, I missed and was found passive an unresponsive for a total of 4 min and 11 seconds. The very first thing that I can remember in my life is this event, I remember it as clearly as I do my past days events. My first memory is of dieing . I fell into the water and could see the other people’s torso’s with their legs moveing about almost silently, and I just sank. The only fear I felt was the actual falling in and the panic that I needed help everything else was in reality peacefull. It felt relaxing, and I didn’t feel like I was sofficating or in pain, all the pain stopped I actually felt like I was breathing (I know that I was not in reality breathing water it just felt weirdly ok) It weirdly felt safe, like that weird feeling you get when you are hugging your new kitten or pup, it felt safe. After that all I can remember is a flood of memories and thoughts. Things I had thought and grownups/people that I loved. Simple stuff that didn’t mean anything normally (walking with my dog , or going to KennyWood) ..... anyway, I give this background as my evidence as best to explain my understanding. But it came both slow and min by min, and it happens quickly. Think of it like this, it played out in a similar fashion to how a dream does. The dream feels like hours or days, but when you wake up you know it as just 30 min to an hour nap. Like that

It drags out one minute at a time, but in retrospect, it flashes by in the blink of an eye. Don't blink.

When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost but how you played the game.

The stance and stare of a wolf you find yourself alone with will tell you that he is prepared to treat you as you would treat him. Whether that comforts or frightens you, he has told you all you need know about both.
