Some that have the ability to explain don't know what they are talking about too.

Time flies when you're enjoying yourself and drags when you're not. It's all about your perception of time being human and Spirit's perception of time. I don't have one so much, to my wife's chagrin, but then it's a male thing apparently. As to what time itself is, there are many great minds working on it and have yet to come to anything like a fact.

Sometimes the best wisdom is the simplest - "That's just the way it IS."

What is really baffling is when time 'stands still'.

I was under the overall impression that the notion of time not being linear, the principle of all things happening 'at the same time' was not a matter of perception but a reality.

Have I misunderstood the phenomena we here perceive as past, present and future? And is it the case that they are not simply our mis-perceptions but also those of "spirit"? i.e. of discarnate individuals too?

I had an experience where time stood still.

That is very wise. I will think of this every day and I will try to have good thoughts always if possible. I liked everything you said in the thread as well.

I was initially flattered by your opening comments but quickly realised I didn't recognise any of my words there.....

I would have loved to claim authorship but in my opening posting of this thread was the attribution: "With acknowledgement: Martin Twycross - ‘Course in Mediumship’" and all the words were from one of his guides.

My other postings actually were my own and I'm heartened if you found them helpful. blessings

Use them well.

We are always meant to be progressing, evolving and going from strength to strength at every moment of our lives, but negative thoughts are very blocking. They can really impede progress, so weed them out.
