Pace time

Is Time is a function of pace

When we look at two different processes involving a change within them, keeping the frame of time the same, we find these processes changing at different pace. While one process appears slower the other faster, as they are relatively changing at different pace with respect to time.

If we change the situation upside down and say that the two changes are actually identical and observe time from the reference of the changes, then the time reference for one change is different from the other. For one the time unit appears to be slower and for the other faster.

Doe this reveals a very important aspect – Time also needs something to change in order to exist. It establishes its reference to a periodic regular change in order to exist. As the change goes through the periodic cycles, time starts getting produced, like the periodic motion of earth around SUN offers the base for the time to exist. If earth was to periodically rotate at a slower speed around Sun, time will become elongated or slower too because we mark 24 hours against the same position where earth was 24 hours ago. Similarly if we keep the time taken for moon around sun to be 24 only then for moon the same time unit would be slower or faster than the time unit of earth. Essentially time needs a periodic repetitive motion on which it basis itself.
The secret to change the pace of time is therefore to change the pace of the periodic motion on which time basis itself. This is where the great secret revealed. We need to look at the periodic motion within us and change its pace to change the unit of time for us. Looking deep inside we find that our breadth and heart beat are the periodic motions and this is what time for us, basis itself on. Understandably the mammals which breathe at a slower rate and have a slower heartbeat rate live longer as the unit of time for them is elongated as compared to those whose breathing and heart rate is faster.

We cannot directly control the heartbeat. Meditative techniques teach us the secret to link the three elements of breadth, heartbeat and concentration. Through the practice of such techniques, we can slow down the breathing rate and heartbeat thus slow the time unit for us. Thus the same second, minute, hours, days and years are slower for us! If we go breathless and without heartbeat at meditation, can we make the time stop, with reference to us?
