Is time an illusion, a mere human construct, or something more profound? This episode invites you to rethink your relationship with time, beginning with a playful banter about Father Time and why your cat might not need a watch to know when it's dinner time. We question the human obsession with strictly structured schedules and explore how our perception of time can vary, especially when we’re engaged in activities we love. By examining how deeply time influences our daily routines, we ponder if time exists beyond our human perception or if it's an elaborate framework we've created for ourselves.

Venturing beyond the tick-tock of the clock, we propose a revolutionary idea: What if time was never meant to be linear? Through a spiritual lens, we explore the possibility that time could be a flexible entity, one that we can manipulate to enhance productivity and freedom. By considering the limitations of living a strictly linear life, we open the door to a 360-degree approach, challenging the societal norms that box us into fixed routines. Imagine living without the confines of birth times or yearly cycles and instead embracing a reality where time becomes a tool rather than a master.

Our concluding chapter delves into the relationship between time, societal control, and personal freedom. Discover how time has been wielded to regulate consumer behavior and control daily life, from work hours to mealtimes, often influenced by media and advertising. We share practical techniques for breaking free from these constraints, emphasizing the importance of spiritual and mental expansion. Inspired by successful individuals who defy conventional timekeeping norms, we discuss ways to strike a balance between work and personal life, encouraging you to redefine your own perception of time for a more fulfilling existence.

Speaker 1: Hey, nobody got time for that. What Ain't nobody got time for that? Speaker 2: What you talking about. Speaker 1: Father time. Speaker 2: Father time yeah. Speaker 1: You know what time is it? Speaker 2: It's time for you to get a watch. Speaker 1: It's time for me to get a watch. The time is of the Epson. Time is what. Speaker 2: Of the Epson. Would that be Epson? Speaker 1: salt. Maybe Time is of the essence. Wow, that was kind of weird. Speaker 2: Maybe you should have another drink of your coffee. Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got time for that. Welcome back to the podcast, everybody, and we appreciate you listening. We are here to talk about Father Time today. Speaker 2: Who are we? Speaker 1: James and Jenny. Speaker 2: Oh, just making sure. And the spiritual grind Gotcha. Speaker 1: Hey, check out our website at wwwthemerccentersorg. That is T-H-E-M-E-R-C-C-E-N-T-R-Sorg. Anyway, check it out. So we're here today. Speaker 2: Check, check, check it out. Speaker 1: We're here today to talk about Father Time. This is a Dr Jenny's subject. She brought up a couple of weeks ago about wanting to talk about it, and we are here today to talk about time. What is time? Speaker 2: Good morning. Speaker 1: It's time to talk about time. Speaker 2: Speaking of time, it's like 1030 in the morning here in Florida 1030. Speaker 1: 1030 in the morning. So you know we're talking about the matter of time and what is time? And so in my definition of time , we have had time placed upon us because the universe doesn't know time, the, our spiritual, energetic self doesn't know time . The multiverse doesn't know time. Time was created by humans to a lot, for payments of labor, for farmers to develop their crops, and then we have time changes and time zones, and so it can get quite confusing. It can be very confusing yeah, and then you't you had the moon cycles that messes with your energy and that is based on time . Speaker 2: What I find interesting is we have cats and they get fed their little treats . We call them candy bars. We I usually try to do it around seven, seven, 30. When the time change happens, they're still wanting them at 6.30. Speaker 1: Yeah, so they know. Speaker 2: They're like I am not budging. Speaker 1: I swear my cat can tell time. Yes, because she knows I get up at 5 o'clock and at 5.05, she's jumping off my board and making noises. Speaker 2: On your nightstand. Speaker 1: Knocking the phone off my nightstand. It's like she knows what time it is, I don't know. Last time I looked I didn't think cats went to time school. Speaker 2: I checked them to see if they had a wristwatch. None of them do yeah they don't . No, I didn't check for a pocket watch, though. Speaker 1: Oh you know, they could be hiding them. Speaker 2: Little sneaky devils, they could, Little sneaky I find it interesting, though the animals always kind of just know the time. Speaker 1: What time it is. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: It is the background noise. Is our cat that's throwing a fit in the other room? I don't know why she's throwing a fit. Speaker 2: She probably wants to come in here and go to work. Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she likes to come in here and go to work. Oh yes, she likes to come in our podcast studio and hang out. For some reason. Speaker 2: I think it's because it's quiet and peaceful. Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe All the stones in here, maybe. So what is time? Time, what is your definition of? Speaker 2: it. I don't really have a definition, because it doesn't exist. Speaker 1: We're always late. Speaker 2: We are never late, according to. Speaker 1: Your clock, my clock. Speaker 2: I can't help it if you like to arrive incredibly stupid early. Oh okay, I'm always on time. Speaker 1: What is it that encouraged you to say, hey, let's talk about time in the podcast? What was the thought process behind that? What is it? Speaker 2: Oh, you just mean the construct of the time mechanism or the space-time continuum. Why did I bring it up that day? Yeah, because you were complaining. I'm sorry, complaining is kind of a harsh word. You were complaining. Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Complaining is kind of a harsh word. Speaker 2: Yeah, you were conversating about how you were maybe tired, or it had been a long day because you had been at work long hours working on the project. And I said, well, time is just an illusion, that doesn't exist, and it doesn't have to be that way. And so then I proceeded to give you my commentary on it, whether you wanted it or not, of course. Mind you, this was what? One o'clock in the morning, yeah, and you were ready for bed . Speaker 1: I was tired. Speaker 2: So I'm surprised that this much of it hung up in there and stuck. Speaker 1: So you know, I think the thing that really sticks out to me about time is you kind of said it yesterday when you're doing something that's fun, man, time flies by. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: When you're doing something you don't view as fun. It's like 30 seconds is four hours yeah, it drags it does drag on, like last night. Speaker 2: We were doing something that I enjoy doing and I looked up and it was 2 45 in the morning, hence the statement . Speaker 1: This is a drag man yeah, dragging on what a drag and there's so many things that are based on time that really control our reality. I think the time clock is a true symbolism of people's world being controlled constantly by this little bitty ticking piece of mechanical operating things. Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean completely. Some of us, not I some of us live solely and completely by that. How was that? You like that? Speaker 1: That was actually pretty good. Well, I should record that. Hey editor, can you send me that back on so I can put it on my soundboard? That was pretty good that was pretty good. Speaker 2: So we go to work based on time. We leave the house because of time at a certain time, to get to work on time or to get to where we're going. But what I want to put out there is when you're creating your reality by aligning with a vibrational frequency of something you want, you can do the same thing with time. It doesn't have to necessarily exist and, as you stated that, I stated that, you stated that I stated. Speaker 1: Which state I'm lost. Right now I'm confused. Which state we're in? Speaker 2: I'm lost right now I'm confused. Which state we're in Is that if you're doing something that has completely engulfed your mental state of being and you're loving it and enjoying it and having fun, time goes by very quickly. And the reason it goes by quickly is because you're not utilizing a lot of time to get done what you're doing, because you're in that vibrational frequency of doing what you love , which puts you in alignment with the vibrational frequency of your higher self, and so the time clock or the perspective of time is not necessary, and so that's why when you sit down and do something, it doesn't have to be sit down. When you go to do something that is enjoyable, it's almost like you get swooped up into a vacuum, and five, six, seven, eight hours goes by and it feels like you've only been sitting there 30 minutes or an hour. Speaker 1: Agreed. Speaker 2: So. So then, whenever you, the minute that you change your perspective back to the focus of being on the time concept, then all of a sudden time slows back down and you're utilizing more time. Speaker 1: Utilizing the proper word. Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because if you're not focused on time and you're just doing what you love, then you're not using any time. You're not using it. There is no concept of time and so there's no point in it and it doesn't exist anyways. Everything is happening simultaneously, so there is no time. It's just your awareness of it, and then that's what makes you slow down and experience your reality frame by slow, frame by slow ticking frame. Speaker 1: Your first one was better. Speaker 2: Right, I just didn't want it to be as ostentatious, oh okay, so there's other aspects to time. Do tell. Speaker 1: How about days? Day is other aspects to time. Do tell. Speaker 2: How about days? Day is an element of time. Speaker 1: Day is an element of time Week, months, years, quarters, centuries, centennials . Speaker 2: But only if you are constantly focused on the past or the future. Speaker 1: Huh, say that again. Speaker 2: That time only exists if you are focused on a future concept or a past concept. If you're living in the moment, truly, truly, moment to moment, doing what is your highest joy and excitement, then there is not any need for time. Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about the measurements of time, because you know they have labeled every part of it. There's seconds, minutes, hours , days, weeks, months, years you know, it, just it. Just. Speaker 2: It's labeled right, and so everything that we have and so, to clarify, they is the humans that created the concept of time. Speaker 1: Anyway, yes, and in my research I had learned that the time clock became part of daily rituals because we had a way to monetize our time, so to speak, and to be measured for payment. We have daylight savings time, so the farmers can spend more time in their crops because they don't get up at daylight. They have to get up by a time clock, which doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't we adjust everybody's time for less than 10% of the population, and why is it that we have to have a time clock? Speaker 2: Well, you just said that, living in the societal world that we live in, it's a tool that we use to measure labor. For example, when you have employees or you have someone working for you and you've got to pay them, you need a measurement of time. If you're going to pay them per hour or per second or whatever, you've got to have a measurement of time to be able to do the mathematical computation. Speaker 1: Okay, have a measurement of time to be able to do the mathematical computation. Okay, so you can pay them properly. Pay them for their dedicated time to your services. Speaker 2: That's the way we do it. Current day Okay, you know, back in the non-time clock days, I think they just decided okay, this task is worth two chickens and a rooster hen goat. Okay. Speaker 1: I think rooster and hen are chickens. We jumped way back to the bartering times. Right, so I think to get to I'll give you two pence for that goat. Speaker 2: Right. They just kind of made it up as they went along. The governing bodies come along and they say we need to have a more consistent way to pay people across the board. So that we can put in place taxes. Speaker 1: That is exactly what my research showed. Speaker 2: It is a tax-based process. Speaker 1: That's what time is for. Speaker 2: Exactly. Speaker 1: And so the government can make money off everybody's hard work, right, exactly, and so the government can make money off everybody's hard work, Right? So here is my question for you is what was the subject that you wanted to talk about in the podcast about time? Speaker 2: Oh, I wanted to go in the rabbit hole place. Well, go in the rabbit hole. Speaker 1: What are you waiting on? Speaker 2: Don't tell me what to do. Well, jump in, put your little fuzzy bunny tail up in the air and jump. I'm going to buy some bunny ears and attach them to my headphones. You probably like that guy on the motorcycle the other day and I'm gonna buy a big carrot and wear it around my neck, okay, well, so basically, I kind of already touched on it. Time does not exist. We have been programmed to follow a time-space continuum for not only the purpose of living in the society that we choose to come to. Speaker 1: What. Speaker 2: Okay. So we live in a society where the construct of time is a major factor in all areas of our human day-to-day life. What time do I have to be at work? What time do I have to be at soccer? What time do I have to take the kids here? What time do I get off work? What time does the movie start? When are dinner reservations? What time does dinner need to be done by? I like to eat at this time. I mean every single thing. Do I have time to do this? Do I have time to do that? How much vacation do I have built up? How many days can I take off? How many days do I have to work ? How many more days do I have left? Speaker 1: Everything is. I vote for the two-day work week. Speaker 2: I'm trying man, I am trying Two days, no one. Speaker 1: Five days off. I like that. Speaker 2: I prefer that one. That's right. Flip the script yeah. Speaker 1: I like it. Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think we should have to start our day before noon honestly. Speaker 1: Well, I like to start early, though, so Well, like I said, I like to start early and get down early. Speaker 2: You go to work incredibly early, which is silly , but hey, you do you boo, that's all good. Speaker 1: So I think it's pretty crazy how the human race has adjusted everything in their life based on a time clock, and I'll give you an example. So, instead of eating when we're hungry, we eat at a time. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Instead of going to the doctor when you don't feel good, you go to the doctor every quarter. Speaker 2: Or yeah, on a routine basis. Speaker 1: On a routine basis. Speaker 2: Because of maintenance, or you're being told. For example, you get told go to the dentist every six months for your cleaning and your checkup and your maintenance Right. Or like I have a pacemaker and they want to see me every six. No, he wants to see me every three months, then he tried every six months and I'm like, listen, I'm not that kind of patient. I'll see you once a year if you're lucky. Speaker 1: Surely you didn't say that to your doctor. That's funny. Speaker 2: So yeah, but what I want to look at is a whole different viewpoint. Speaker 1: Okay, and that Isn't that what I asked for a while ago? Speaker 2: You did, but you kind of took the mic away from me. Sorry, it's all. Good, I'll step away. Now Where's your footsteps? I'm going to need you to upgrade your buttons. Speaker 1: I know I need to spend time. Speaker 2: Oh, what Way to bring upgrade your buttons. I know I need to spend time, oh what. Speaker 1: Way to bring it back around. Speaker 2: Anyway. So there is no time in the concept of the multiverse, the universe, all that is that it doesn't exist, but it has to exist in this illusionary state that we've created called reality. So let's back it up, like I always do. We're spiritual beings. Back it up, girl. Back back, back it up and we are having a human experience. So we are in our spiritual self , basically having a dream that we're having this human experience. So it's all an illusion that we create and we create it to have experiences. But in order to keep the veil up a little bit, so that they are genuine and feel very authentic and organic, we have to have a construct of time and we have to have things happen in a linear way, otherwise the cat's out of the bag and we realize, oh, we're a spiritual being early in our journey. And we realize, oh, we're a spiritual being early in our journey, obviously Right, and time doesn't exist. So I can actually move time around and be where I want to be or do what I want to do, which in the beginning of your journey , if you're not on that trajectory, or that's not what you purposely came here to do right off the bat, then you grow and expand to the point, kind of like we are now, where you'll say can you just we're running behind. Can you open up a wormhole? And poof, I do, and on the little navigation box it's, instead of it being an hour for us to get there, it magically changes to like 30 minutes. Speaker 1: That happens a lot actually. Speaker 2: And so it's just a matter of lining up with that frequency and kind of bending time. But to get there it takes a little bit of work, okay, and you may not be there and it may not be something that you're meant to experience because you're meant to learn and grow around the concept of time. So let me Thoughts, comments, questions. Speaker 1: I think it's time for a comment from me. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 1: So you know when you were talking there. You know about the interdimensional stuff because I think that's for real Time, is a way for humans to look at life linear. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Instead of 360. Right, and I think that's the biggest part of for me, that's what I didn't I identified the most with is realizing that linear, linear movement is not expensive. Speaker 2: It can be? It most definitely can be. Well, if but but it can also be limiting. Speaker 1: Yes, that's where I was going with. It is because, in my belief system, why when I move in a linear pace, I feel very unproductive, which, in turn, changes my energy. And so, instead of me multitasking and doing things 360 degrees throughout the day, because that's where I like to live, I like to live in that kind of, you know, clickety-clack, clickety-clack, I'm getting stuff done. Speaker 2: Mover and a shaker. Speaker 1: Mover and a shaker. That's a good analogy. But when I move in a linear state, I do slow down a little bit and continue throughout my day in a very methodical way, instead of just letting things happen, energetically flowing, as I should be, in a 360 degree, and that's a very limiting place to be in. When we're born, we're given a time of birth. Why, when we go through the year, we have 365 and one quarter day. One quarter day yeah that's why we have a leap year. Yeah, that's why we have a leap year, and that's all a portion of time. Speaker 2: And what was the purpose of leap year, and that's all a a portion of time. And what was the purpose of leap year? Is to make up the time for the quarter days so why did we create the quarter day in the first place? Speaker 1: I never understood that. Speaker 2: I actually asked that in school because the math ended with dot three, seven, four, six, two, zero, and it kept going, and so they they didn't know how to drop it I mean that they tell you that the calendar is based on the moon cycle. Speaker 1: That's what I read. Is the calendar is based off that? And if we're taught to be linear and the calendar is based upon the moon cycles, why is it that the full moon is not the same every year On every month? It rotates every 26 days, but why is our calendar month 30 days? Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't think. It seems like I vaguely remember reading something or watching a documentary where it didn't always used to be 30, 31 days. The calendar used to be different. Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the Mayan calendar is way different. I mean, there's many different calendars out there that are different. That were different? Speaker 2: Yes, but then it makes you wonder how did we settle on using the one that we use? I don't know as a whole. Speaker 1: Because another thing that I wondered is how did they label BC and you know, before Christ and after Christ, how did they label that? And they didn't use calendars back then. Speaker 2: With the letters silly. Speaker 1: You just said it, BC. And AD or whatever AD yeah, after death Instead of after Christ. That didn't make any sense. Speaker 2: ACBC Dun dun, dun, dun, dun dun. Speaker 1: Oh. So how do you know? They go back, these historians. They go back and they use time, our time, to label their history. So my question would be very much of if this calendar is based off of moon cycles, why is it not consistent with the moon and where is it that it's a why ? What's the purpose of them teaching us to live linear? Speaker 2: well, I mean, I think it boils right back down to the two aspects. One is the conspiracy theory. Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking about my aspects again. I told you they're freckles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 2: You need to get one of those lupus, we'll scrub you raw Okie dokie. So the conspiracy theory of the they that controls everything it was created by them for whatever control purpose they wanted to program us into, and I think that some of it has to do with getting the mass population to a place where they can get the most work hours out of an individual, them wanting to clock out and go home and paying people and expecting if you're going to, you know. So if you centralize the pay based on time, you can acquiesce more time out of a person because they will get more money in exchange. So it's all just kind of a manipulation type factor to for the company to get more hours out of the employee. Way back, hey, I'll give you overtime if you'll stay because such and such is sick, or I'll give you a bonus if you work more hours. It just is a way of getting more for their buck, even down to like the days and the calendar days. I think it has something to do with that on a human scale. I'm just speculating with the rest of you as to why it was created. Now, if we go to that channeling place, the construct of the whole time is essentially just that. It is a construct that had to be created so that we could experience frame by frame, by frame by frame, one experience at a time, and advance or awaken to getting back to a place of experiencing things in a simultaneous way, from a 360 degree turn. And we have to have contrast. You got to have black to know white and dark to know light. You got to have time to know no time. And so if you're coming in as a human wanting to have the best evolution and growth, then you've got to know you already know the absence of time and that it doesn't exist and everything happens simultaneously. Even if you don't know, you know it. Your higher self, your spirit self, already knows that. And so, to experience something different, which is the whole mission you've got to create a time construct to live within, so that you can experience every single aspect of what it's like to be under the constraints of a clock or a calendar or a concept of time, so that you can evolve and grow past that Like. What is it like to have a five-day work week? What is it like to work nine to five? What is it like to work 16-hour shifts? What is it like to get paid $10 an hour and do overtime Like to experience each one of those things and be able to log that as uh experience in the universal library and put it on the shelf of. Okay, here's my human experience for all to read and and and know about. You gotta have the construct of time to get back to the place of no time, so you gotta have time to have no time. Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 2: So below as above, as above so below. When it's okay to go, it's okay to leave, it's okay to stay, it's okay to be. Speaker 1: So this is where I went with. Time is time was created to control the masses and the popular. You know the popular times of doing things, and so they could control taxes, they could. They could keep you at home at night, and they can, you know, to the best of their abilities, and then they record, you know. So you have eight hours of work , eight hours off, eight hours of sleep Right, because they teach you that eight hours of sleep is what your body needs, instead of teaching you that sleep when you're tired, eat when you're hungry, work when you want to. Speaker 2: It's all about control, right, because it's hard to market something if you can't get everybody on the same page collectively. And time does that Right. Tune in to the 5 o'clock news. So no matter where you're at, no matter what you're doing, it's 5 o'clock somewhere and so the mass majority of people at 5 o'clock can tune in to that station and get that pre-programmed message from the they so that they can program the masses on whatever topic they want to put through that frequency. Speaker 1: Well, that is a rabbit hole. Speaker 2: Conspiracy theory that you just brought up. Speaker 1: I'm telling you and it's crazy, if you look at some of the YouTube videos, how every news station on some of those conspiracy theories at the same time broadcast the same exact, almost word for word stuff. And we're talking about all the different affiliates and networks. And so you tell me that it's not controlled. Speaker 2: Of course it is. Speaker 1: But I remember when I was studying marketing to market my own business and I read somewhere about how time was the they way of controlling humans and getting everybody to do the same thing at the same time. so to speak and it also is a call for them to make more money , and this is how they do it, like the Rothschilds. One time I can't remember who's once said it said the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets. But I remember that and it really rang a bell with me because it also identified you know, there's many parts of time that we don't identify as time components. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: I didn't think about the Christmas season as a component of time. Christmas was developed and given to celebrate the birthday of a guy that wasn't even born in December, right, so why? Because it was the last quarter of the year, last month of the year, the last chance for retail sales to spike. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: That is a measurement of time. Of course, valentine's Day. Speaker 2: Wait. So back up for a second. Even in marketing you brought that up Time is used to create a sense of urgency which is a concept of time, or a call to action, as they call it Right, which is a concept of time, or so, if you call to action, as they call it right, which is a concept of time, if you buy now, you get these incentives by now save later that's right. You get these discounts, these incentives, if you buy now I wouldn't get one free this friday that's a construct of time I totally agree, and it's Speaker 1: a call to action, but money what resonated with me in that marketing education that I was getting was, on that, that Rothschild comment about the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets. What did that really mean? Speaker 2: What does it mean? I'm curious. Speaker 1: Well, it means when there's when there are, it's time to buy, when people are out there doing the things, hard work and to buy things. So it's like the holiday season you go to the mall, it's packed because it's supply and demand, and so it's a very well thought out plan. Speaker 2: Of course. Speaker 1: Because you know they say supply and demand. So the time to buy things is when there's more people. That's what they teach you. When it's really just the opposite, the time to buy something is when there's not people buying. Speaker 2: Right, because they drop the prices to try and get more people to buy, so that's when you're getting the best price. Speaker 1: Correct. And so all these little measurements of time that we don't even realize are measurements of time. A mile is a measurement of time . Yeah, a step is a measurement of time, a meter, you know? If you really just stop and think how we've all been controlled by the time clock and we spend our money, do our activities, we eat, all based on a regular schedule. And why? Why did they create dinner, supposed to be from five to six every day? Speaker 2: Do tell us. Speaker 1: Because they want you to watch the seven o'clock television schedule, because then they can sell commercials and there's all sorts of things. It's a very in-depth, thought out, well thought out plan that creates those senses of oh, I can't miss the news. I want to hear what happened to johnny, johnny blow yeah, so I want to step in for a second. Okay. Speaker 2: Because there was a time where there was the TV dinner era. You remember that in like the late fifties, yep, when June Cleaver no longer had to cook dinner, and what happened is the TV came out and it became very popular. So the time to eat actually got moved up to an earlier time, which correlated with the news, and here's part of the reason why. Speaker 1: Five o'clock news. Six o'clock news Wheel of Fortune. Speaker 2: Because here's how the brain works. Yeah, the brain has the alpha, the beta, the delta, the theta states, and if you are distracted by one of your other senses while you're watching the news, it's easier to program your mind to take in a new program or belief. That's why the hypnosis works the way that it does, because we put you in a uh uh theta state of being and we can put in the messages that you want put in without your alpha state being in the way. Okay, so if you're sitting in front of the TV watching the news, or watching. Speaker 1: is it beta? Yeah, that beta was like conscious level. Speaker 2: Beta yeah. Speaker 1: Beta, because the alpha level is the first level. Right, you're right. Speaker 2: You're right, you're right. Speaker 1: Because when you watch TV, you're in the alpha level. Yeah, okay, sorry, that's okay. I was just making sure you were stating correct. Speaker 2: Yes, you know, I've been glitching all morning. Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you kind of have. Speaker 2: I don't know. There to say that I did so anyway. When you're sitting in front of the new tv or even the radio, if you are concentrating on eating a really yummy meal, then you're somewhat distracted and not focused on exactly every single word that's being said and it's easier to program a larger portion of the collective because they're distracted by the food that they're eating. So that's why they started marketing the TV dinners and sitting in front of the TV instead of around the dinner table, so that they could use that as a type of distraction. So that's supper changed. I'm going in a direction here, that still relates to time. The supper time actually changed to the six o'clock hour, the five to six o'clock hour, because of that control technique. Speaker 1: The news. Yep, they want you to listen to the news. Speaker 2: They want you to be distracted by food so that they can sink in deeper. The commercials of the products are selling the things that they're selling you and programming you with on the news , like there's not UFOs, it's a weather balloon. There's a whole lot of damn weather balloons up in the air I know I'm just saying what keeps in one every night? Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy. It's there for about two hours and it just disappears. It's kind of crazy. But the the concept of time is basically overall is a way to control today's or this lifetime's human behavior. Speaker 2: The masses. Speaker 1: The masses in a controlled, larger environment. If you can stop for a moment and look at the 360 view of your reality instead of the linear view, remove your time restraints off of your 360 view. Operating in my opinion, operating linear in your human experience is not a bad thing, as long as you keep a balance of having that 360 degree view of your reality, because we create our reality. Speaker 2: So, yeah, let's talk about what that means, because here's what the collective questions are that are coming up . Speaker 1: Okay. Speaker 2: Well, that's all fine and great, but how do I do that when I've got to be at work at a certain time where I get fired ? That's all fine and great. Whenever I'm at work and I have to clock out for lunch and I've got to be back in 30 minutes, how do I do this wonderful, mystical thing of ignoring time? And that's not what we're saying at all. Right, we're just throwing out there concepts to ponder. Speaker 1: We want you to recognize. That's the key. Speaker 2: Things to chew on, things to broaden your hmm, things that make you go, hmm, but here's how I would navigate it. I didn't mean to interrupt. Go ahead. Speaker 1: That's okay, it's all right, go ahead. So this is what the important for me that identifies a lot is time. Time is a linear object that's been created and we've been taught it. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And it's okay to operate and have human experiences in that linear timeline. Speaker 2: Right. Just don't lose focus of your 360 degree, all aspects of your spiritual, energetic, mental being that needs that 360 degree expansion so you have a better experience here on earth right, and so I think talking, taking a minute to kind of break it down on a less conspiracy theory, rabbit hole concept of what, what do you mean exactly, so that you can have balance in it, so that you don't feel like you're just wrapped up in the template of the rat race all the time. And here's a couple of things I can give you as techniques and advice. First and foremost, when you're going from work time to home time, you then get to navigate that as you want, not somebody else. So making sure that you step out of the paradigm or the template of time and give yourself freedom from time by doing what or how people are going to say, and that's giving yourself a certain amount of time to sit and just do something that you enjoy, without looking at the clock, without worrying about what time it is. Just try and get to that place of letting the focus of time fade away, even if you can only give yourself an hour, set the timer so you don't have to keep looking at the clock and maintain your focus. Set the timer and, for that one hour, just get completely lost in the thing that you're doing. That's enjoyable, not stopping to say, okay, how much more time do I have? How much more time do I have? So that would be one technique that I would say is set a timer If you only have a limited amount of time and just totally get lost in the moment of doing what you enjoy doing, and let the timer tell you when your time is up. Speaker 1: There's a lot of time in there. Speaker 2: There is a lot of time. Speaker 1: You know. And then I think something else that some people don't recognize, that I think I didn't even recognize it until one of my secretaries at work said something, and it was you know, you only spend a 30-year day at work. Why does it consume your whole life? Speaker 2: and we have this rule at home. Yeah, when you get home from work, you get, you know, like a 20-minute debrief, um open forum to complain or speak about work , and then then then we shut her down, the judge's mallet falls and it stops the 20-minute period. Yeah, that's you know, so we can maintain that balance between work and life. Speaker 1: You know all the high spiritually sought after, I guess, so to speak. What's the best word for that All? The monks, the gurus, all the high. You know your little head guy. Speaker 2: The little Buddha. Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it wasn't Buddha. What's his name? George? No, all the. Speaker 2: He's Buddha. Speaker 1: Okay, so you have Buddha, we have Mary, we have Jesus, all these people. Speaker 2: Yeah, all the wise ones. Speaker 1: Did you know that there's not a clock anywhere in their lives? Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because they choose to, or chose to have their journey. Look that way. Speaker 1: So they lived in a time where they're healthier because they don't live by the clock. They eat when they're hungry, they sleep when they're tired, they meditate when they want to Right they eat when they're hungry. They sleep when they're tired, they meditate when they want to Right and they don't allow the confines of time into their life . Speaker 2: That's right, and I'll give you another example For me. I can't sleep sometimes, but I don't call it insomnia. I just embrace the fact that I'm not sleepy, so I stay up until I get sleepy. And then I go to bed and sometimes, like last night, it was two, 30 before I actually went to sleep. The night before it was almost four. And then I turn around and I get up at six. So what, I get up and I function fine. Speaker 1: And my God, you can't do this unhealthy. That's what society says. Speaker 2: Right, but then if you sit there and worry about time, oh my God, it's 1 o'clock and I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm going to be so tired, oh my God. Speaker 1: It's 2 o'clock and I'm still awake. So is it the lack of sleep that creates the tired, or is it that thought that creates the tired? Speaker 2: It's the focus on the time and the fact that you haven't gone to sleep yet and the fact that you've been programmed to get eight hours of sleep in order to be rested, healthy and be able to function at work. Yep belief that you have to have six to eight hours of sleep in order to be fresh and functioning. Then you can function just fine off of three hours, four hours, two hours. It's a belief. Speaker 1: You know, I remember watching the Oprah Winfrey show that had Trump on it many years ago, back when they were friends , and she asked him what he contributed his success to and she said I'm just going to ask you some questions. And he says okay. And she said how much do you sleep? And he says I get four hours, that's all I need. And she said only four hours. The average person sleeps eight hours. And he says well, that gives me four hours up on everybody else . Speaker 2: That's right, and you and I do the same thing. We get about three, maybe four hours a night. You just get yours in a different segment. I think there for a while you thought that I got more sleep than you, because I usually will sleep later in the morning and start my day a little later. But what I think you weren't realizing there for a small piece in our life, is that you fall asleep by 10, 10, 30 and I'm still awake at three or four let's clarify I fall asleep whenever I stop. Speaker 1: All I have to do is stop and I am out it is quite an amazing technique. Speaker 2: Literally, if he plants his butt somewhere and his feet go up, it's like an automatic switch. Speaker 1: Eyes go up, eyes close. Speaker 2: That's right. His feet are attached to his eyeballs. Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, anyway. So the concept of time for me is moving linear throughout my day is to me a healthy concept, as long as you recognize that it's a healthy concept. But just keep your eye on the prize of staying 360 in your reality and understanding that just because you're told something that has to do with time, does it mean that it has to be identified to you as as urgent as theirs, because their lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on your part right and nine times out of ten, if you feel yourself going into that place of oh my god, this is an emergency, I've got to do something about it. Speaker 2: Now it's probably a good time to just stop and take five minutes and and recalibrate yourself and really evaluate. Does this need a response right now? Does this need an action right this? Does this need an action right this minute? Is this really what it seems to be, or can it wait? Speaker 1: Does it have to be an emergency Right, or an emergency means I have to go to the store and get more Huggin' Dots? I'll give you an example. So in our job you didn't identify my joke. How rude. I'm sorry, you're okay. Speaker 2: Well, the reality is that I didn't even process the information. All I heard was Haagen-Dazs. Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, an emergency in our house is when I have to go to the store and get more Haagen-Dazs. Speaker 2: That really doesn't happen. You're just being silly. Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll look at me and say we have an emergency and I'm like why didn't you open the freezer and there's no ice cream. Speaker 2: That doesn't happen, I don't open the freezer and there's no ice cream. Speaker 1: Well, we get to where you're on your last, it's very rare. She's not out of ice cream. Speaker 2: When I go into a channeled state, I am in a different level of consciousness and so I don't hear what you're saying. And that's where I was headed and to that channel stayed a little bit deeper and that's why I didn't acknowledge and recognize that you were even speaking you did, but it's okay it wasn't meant to be. It was meant to go exactly the way that it went. I got no time for that. It wasn't meant to be. Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, it was meant to go exactly the way that it went. Yeah, I agree, I agree, and so I got no time for that. Speaker 2: But I will give you an example of another way that I manage time, even at work, because I think this is what some people out there will want. So, for example, at lunch when I first came to work, I was still a little bit wrapped up in that want to be Johnny on the spot, be the stellar employee, and we are on salary. So we don't have to necessarily clock out for our lunch break, and part of our job description is is that we serve coffee to our residents in the dining room as a way to mingle. Then we get to sit down and be served our lunch and inevitably what happens is is the minute that we sit to start and consume our food, which is after them, somebody is done eating. They'll come to the table and they'll want us to have a conversation about some topic or do something for them or whatever. And then in the beginning I would jump up and I would go do that thing, or I would stop what I'm doing and I would have the conversation. And nowadays I've begun to do things like okay, well, after I get done eating my lunch, I'll be more than happy to meet you in the office, Yep, and take care of whatever it is that you're asking. Or when I'm done eating my lunch, I will be more than happy to have this conversation with you. So, meet me in the office or wherever's good for you. Okay, and redirecting that. And if you're an hourly employee and you're at work and somebody comes to you and wants you to do something right now, I feel like that it's an okay boundary to set. That says okay, I don't mind doing that at all. That says okay, I don't mind doing that at all. As a matter of fact, I would love to do that as soon as I get done with my lunch break, which ends in 15 more minutes. I'll be more than happy to accomplish that for you and I think that's an okay way to handle that, rather than interrupting your lunch break and going and taking care of whatever this is, even if it's from your boss. I think if you stay in a very professional manner. Speaker 1: Ain't no problem doing that. I'll do it after lunch. Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got 15 more minutes. I'll get on it as soon as I'm done with my lunch break. Speaker 1: Yep. Speaker 2: And handling it that way, then it keeps you in a balanced place of being able to utilize your personal time without the construct of time interfering, and still gets the task done and still makes your boss happy. Speaker 1: So that's one way you could do it at work. Okay, so the linear concept of time being taught to us is one of those things that we, as long as we recognize it's not okay, it's not bad to live by a time clock or live operate humanly linear through time, just as long as we stay focused and grounded and keep our 360 view on our reality. Speaker 2: Right, because if you're running through your life feeling like you have no time for anything and it just Because , if you're running through your life feeling like you have no time for anything and it just feels like a chaotic mess of loss of time and like you just can't get a hold of time, I never have time, I never have time, I never have time, and that's what you're constantly saying for coaching. That's the first thing that we work on, because if you're going to continue to have that perspective, then you will continue to be given more experiences of having no time. Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Speaker 2: And so first getting to a place of being aware that you're living and creating your reality from the place of I have no time, I didn't have time for that. I. Speaker 1: I'll do that tomorrow . Speaker 2: I ran out of time or I. You know those are the two most common ones that we program our heads with I. You know what? I ran out of time. I'm sorry, I'll do it later. Speaker 1: Where has the time gone? You know what? I ran out of time. I'm sorry, I'll do it later. Where? Speaker 2: has the time gone, and that would be the first step of doing it and then making conscious efforts in the areas of your life that you can to refocus away from the time part of it the best you can, you know and when you recognize it, you don't age as fast, because age is also a measurement of time. Of course. Which is why I don't celebrate a birthday. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Somebody asked me how old are you? I say 29. I stopped at 29. Because that's when I feel like I lived my best. Speaker 1: Well, you know what time it is, what time is it, it's time to wrap up this podcast, so our editor don't get mad at us. Speaker 2: Wrap wrap. Wrap it up, Wrap wrap, wrap it up. Speaker 1: It's that time again. Speaker 2: With a Christmas bow. Speaker 1: And don't forget guys to like, follow, share and. Speaker 2: Ring that bell.
