Time Distortion
Time distortion is relative to our experience of time.
NLP provides ways of using your mind to experience time
distortion.
You often hear people say "The years seem to go by faster
the older I get.". Their experience of time is perceived as a relative chunk
of their lifetime. 1 year is 1/10 of their lifetime when they are 10 years
old and 1 year is 1/50 of their lifetime when they are 50 years old, thus
causing year 50 to seem like it passes 5 times faster than did year 10.
Time is distance divided by velocity T = D/V. It's how
fast you go the distance.
When we talk about time distortion, it's easy to think
that we're talking about changing time. What we are really talking about is
changing our perception of how fast time passes.
It's about speed, not time. V = D/T
Calibrations of Distance: Increasing the frequency
of distance calibrations (i.e. checking each Inch/Centimeter) has the effect
of slowing the speed of distance, making it seem to pass slowly. Reducing
the frequency of distance calibrations (i.e. checking each Foot/Meter) has
the effect of speeding up distance, making it seem to pass quickly.
i.e. How much time will it seem to take to travel
100 kilometers (100,000 meters) in 1 hour:
-
checking your progress every 10 kilometer.
-
checking your progress every 1 kilometer.
Calibrations of Time: Increasing the frequency of
time calibrations (i.e. watching the clock) has the effect of slowing the
speed of time, making it seem to pass slowly. Reducing the frequency of time
calibrations has the effect of speeding up time, making it seem to pass quickly.
i.e. How much time will it seem to take to travel
100 kilometers (100,000 meters) in 1 hour:
-
checking your progress every 10 minutes.
-
checking your progress every 1 minute.
Internal Focus: Calibrations of time and distance
require external focus of attention. Increasing external attention can slow
down our experience of time and distance.
-
Internal attention, thinking about an object, person
or idea, reduces the frequency of external calibrations and speeds up our
experience of time and distance.
-
Internal experience of time, distance and velocity are
easily changed with our imagination when we are "lost in thought".
-
Time, thought and energy are dimensions of our experience
of physical space, all three are required to experience the other dimensions
of reality.
External Reality: Flying back and forth to the other
side of the planet, it's possible to physically time travel. It just takes
distance and velocity (time) to do it. An 11 hr flight from Shanghai to Vancouver
arrives 2 hrs before it left!
