Take the time
    #25793591 -

There is all the time in the world.

So I'm gonna take my time.

You too.

... not an all encompassing description of time, just a particular mode that can be chosen when a particular change of mode is needed. You can't just flip a switch any time you need to. Or can you?

I'm gonna take my time.

why there is reality and patterned, law-like consistency at all, rather than noise or non-reality is not a question physics answers. It's a question physics presupposes an answer to in order to provide other answers.

I'm not sure I take your meaning, or that you take mine. Or perhaps you understand me and I not you.

Mine relates to anxiety and being in a hurry.

There's similarities: Need time/Take time; Need money/Take money; Invest money to make more money...etc. Social Security for example requires you to file for 10 years before you can get a return. Taking the time without having invested in the security of living in the manner you have grown accustomed to may well prove to be a higher index on the anxiety scale.

Perhaps if one were a Buddhist living in an agrarian society one could get by in the countryside with an alms bowl.

Understood. Relating to anxiety, taking time could result in getting more done. By taking time I don't mean doing nothing, but rather a mental attitude of not rushing ones self but going at a pace one is comfortable with. It is the ceasing of a process in which thoughts about one's anxiety create more anxiety. Instead of being in a hurry to rid ones self of the source of anxiety, accepting how one feels at the moment and not making assumptions about the next moment or tomorrow or next week is useful.

My take on it: Everything needs to get done. Everything is going to get done, but everything is not going to get done today. But something has to. Always progress, never hurry.

:thumbup:

Wanting a thing to happen before it's time.

Or maybe to be contrary, wanting a thing to be done that may or may not happen. Everything that will get done, will get done. If something may not or does not get done one should be okay with that.

Not getting the job after the interview for instance.

I know what you mean. I started looking at things that were causing stress and anxiety like: There's a place in Time where what I'm worrying about is already in the past. Since I'm not stressing about it Then all I need to do is get to that point in Time. It's not really fatalistic as Now I still don't know what will have happened Then. But I do know that what I worried about now - like a job interview - is over, finished, and set in the past.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that there ain't really any goddamn hurry.

17.25 million or 5% of the U.S population, who have concealed carry permits, apparently agree that there are occasions where haste is precipitated.

time is an event,

and the event is you.

we are literally time.

when our own truths rule our event

time dilatation takes place

and here death happens.


the truth has a beginning and an end.

'When our own truths rule our event time gets stretched beyond normal dimensions'?

I guess you're referencing time dilation thru heightened awareness brought on by excitement.

From "Being Time"

The Zen master (Yueh-shan) says: "Standing on the peak of a high mountain is uji. Diving to the bottom of the deep ocean is uji. The one with three heads and eight arms is uji. He who stands one jo and six or eight s haku is uji. The staff and hossu are uji. The pillar and lamp are uji. You and your neighbor are uji. The great earth and vast sky are uji." This uji means that time is existence and that all existence is time.

The golden body of one jo six shaku is time. Because it is time, there are the ornaments and lights of time. So we must study the 12 hours confronting us. It is time that draws out the body with three heads and eight arms. Because it is time, it interpenetrates with the present 12 hours. Though we have not yet measured the span of 12 hours, we call it 12 hours. Because time's transit leaves traces, man does not doubt it. Though he does not doubt, he does not understand. Because the ordinary man does not think from the deep ground, he of course doubts all things that he does not fully understand. For this reason, his future doubts never harmonize with his present doubts. And even doubt is nothing but a part of time.

There is no world without this doubting self, for this self is the world itself. We must look on everything in this world as time. Each thing stands in unimpeded relation just as each moment stands unimpeded. Therefore, (from the standpoint of time) the desire for enlightenment arises spontaneously; (from the standpoint of mind) time arises with the same mind. This applies also to training and enlightenment. Thus we see by entering within: the self is time itself.

What's this "I cannot change my fate by speaking". Are words just so much fluff?

the elemental Alien Constants: Velocity, Force, Acceleration,  Momentum,  they represent a due course of action in Bullets, as well as [Alien Elements] (ie, Xeno-properties, or, "Other").
the fifth element is an obfuscated one that I can seemingly only define as 'Movement'.

Apparently it's in women's best interest to appear fluffy, attractive, desirable and irreplaceable, so that's how they invest their time.
