It is very personal.

00:00:08

It is often linked to our age,

00:00:10

our environment,

00:00:11

our energy of the day.

00:00:13

Sometimes it slips through our hands,

00:00:16

sometimes it represents boredom,

00:00:18

sometimes it pressures us,

00:00:20

sometimes it serves us.

00:00:21

In this video we will see how time is above all a

00:00:25

perception of our mind and how we can make it an ally,

00:00:29

having our time at our disposal.

00:00:32

Yes,

00:00:33

time is above all a perception of our mind.

00:00:36

Our mind cannot think and organize life without this concept of time.

00:00:41

Our mind is addicted to agendas.

00:00:44

It checks the time.

00:00:45

It reminds us to hurry.

00:00:47

It lists everything we have to do in a time frame of its choosing.

00:00:52

Our mind works in a linear way.

00:00:54

There is yesterday,

00:00:55

today and tomorrow.

00:00:57

It is often more concerned with dwelling on yesterday and organizing tomorrow

00:01:03

than with enjoying today.

00:01:05

Our mind believes in causality.

00:01:08

If you do this today,

00:01:09

then tomorrow you will get this.

00:01:11

If you work today,

00:01:13

then tomorrow you'll get your pay,

00:01:15

you'll get congratulations,

00:01:16

you'll be more talented.

00:01:18

Often it doesn't care if today is a happy day.

00:01:21

What's important is to build our future.

00:01:25

We urge children to work harder at school so they can have a future.

00:01:30

The mind believes in rational causality.

00:01:33

If you do this,

00:01:34

you will reap this.

00:01:36

In the mental thought system,

00:01:38

there is no more room for magic,

00:01:40

miracles,

00:01:41

synchronicities beyond logical and linear time.

00:01:46

People who believe in this have been burnt or ridiculed.

00:01:50

Sometimes humans are flabbergasted

00:01:52

when the person they just thought about suddenly calls them,

00:01:56

and then it all comes down to the belief that

00:01:59

this is chance that has made these synchronies possible.

00:02:04

Yet there is no such thing as chance.

00:02:07

God doesn't play dice,

00:02:09

as Einstein said.

00:02:11

How can some people do things that the

00:02:13

mind in its rational linearity thought were impossible?

00:02:18

How can some people say they see things from the

00:02:21

future or the past going beyond the laws of time?

00:02:26

Why do the police in North America or Europe

00:02:29

sometimes use psychics who also defy the laws of time and space?

00:02:35

How did this woman lift the enormous weight of a vehicle to save her son

00:02:40

when her weight and stature made it impossible?

00:02:43

Mark Twain said they didn't know it was impossible,

00:02:47

so they did it.

00:02:48

People who make their mind their master,

00:02:50

say,

00:02:51

I don't believe in this nonsense,

00:02:53

period.

00:02:55

They should say

00:02:56

my rational linear mind doesn't believe it because it can't explain it,

00:03:02

and that's OK.

00:03:04

It's OK not to be able to explain everything.

00:03:07

It's OK whether it's true or not.

00:03:10

The mind's perception of what is possible and impossible according

00:03:14

to the causal scale of time is very limited.

00:03:18

The mind is very skeptical.

00:03:20

It doesn't imagine that something could be possible.

00:03:23

If it is not already in its database,

00:03:26

if it doesn't have an explanation,

00:03:28

if it doesn't have proof,

00:03:30

this is the same mind that condemned Galileo,

00:03:33

who dared to state that the earth revolves around the sun.

00:03:38

How absurd.

00:03:40

The mind cannot think outside the known proven space time.

00:03:45

The mind

00:03:46

measures the experience through time and space indicators.

00:03:51

Why not?

00:03:52

But should this unit of experience measurement among

00:03:55

a lot of others become our master?

00:03:58

Getting out of the addiction to time,

00:04:01

getting out of the limitation of time,

00:04:04

means no longer living life only through the limitations of our mind.

00:04:10

Einstein said,

00:04:11

Put your hand on a frying pan for a minute,

00:04:14

and it feels like an hour.

00:04:16

Sit next to a pretty girl for an hour,

00:04:18

and it feels like a minute.

00:04:20

That's relativity.

00:04:22

Time is only a perception.

00:04:25

It can be terribly linear if our mind is constantly measuring it.

00:04:29

It can be relative or even elastic if we stop letting it control us.

00:04:35

If your mind is in a hurry,

00:04:37

breathe and slow down to enjoy the present moment.

00:04:41

If your mind is bored,

00:04:43

find pleasant activities or travel in your imagination.

00:04:47

Stop believing that you are going through time.

00:04:51

Choose consciously how you want time to go through you.

00:04:56

Time can be a wonderful ally

00:04:58

if we change our perception of it.

00:05:00

Here is one of the discoveries of quantum physics.

00:05:05

The presence of an observer changes the behavior of the object observed.

00:05:10

Eisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum physics reveals that the

00:05:15

object changes as our perception of it changes.

00:05:19

This

00:05:20

the mind cannot explain.

00:05:22

We arrive at the confines of a

00:05:24

so-called magical world when thought influences matter.

00:05:29

If our perception of time,

00:05:31

our view of time changes,

00:05:33

will our experience of time change?

00:05:36

It's something to bet on if you wish.

00:05:39

How can we make time our ally

00:05:41

by changing our linear perception of time?

00:05:45

Here is a suggestion to perceive time based on the cycle of the seasons.

00:05:51

Frederick Hudson,

00:05:52

coach and professor at Columbia University,

00:05:55

suggested that we regard our life not as a line but as a succession of cycles,

00:06:01

each made up of four phases.

00:06:04

Go for it,

00:06:06

the doldrums,

00:06:07

cocooning,

00:06:08

and getting ready.

00:06:10

This is the 4 phases of how people experience changes in their life

00:06:16

in the summer.

00:06:18

The conquest phase or go for it phase,

00:06:21

we enthusiastically start a project,

00:06:24

a relationship,

00:06:25

a training course.

00:06:26

We are busy connected to a mission plan and

00:06:30

our project unfolds until it reaches full maturity.

00:06:34

In the fall,

00:06:35

the doldrums phase,

00:06:37

there is stagnation with comfort comes a form of boredom or fatigue.

00:06:42

It's a time of plateauing,

00:06:43

decline,

00:06:45

feeling stuck,

00:06:46

disenchanted.

00:06:47

We begin to question ourselves and to sort out what we no longer want

00:06:52

the winter.

00:06:53

The cocooning phase brings disengagement.

00:06:57

If the full restructuring wasn't enough.

00:07:00

It's time to take a step back

00:07:02

and take stock of where we are and what we want.

00:07:05

Time for inner journey,

00:07:07

individulating,

00:07:08

discovering inner resources and identity.

00:07:11

It is essential to take care of oneself,

00:07:14

to cocoon oneself

00:07:16

in this transition of winter's death.

00:07:19

The spring.

00:07:20

The getting ready phase is the time for renewal.

00:07:24

The field of possibilities opens up.

00:07:26

We start dreaming and exploring.

00:07:28

We plan again for the new project that will unfold in the summer.

00:07:34

Understanding the model of the seasons allows us to better

00:07:38

understand what we experience in our personal and professional transitions.

00:07:42

There is no linearity.

00:07:44

Accepting to go through all the seasons of time right up to winter disliked

00:07:50

by humans is to guarantee movement and the regular renewal of our lives.

00:07:56

It means putting our perception of time and its seasons at our service.

00:08:02

To make time an ally is also to accept emptiness.

00:08:06

To live periods of emptiness and silence,

00:08:09

some will call it meditation,

00:08:11

where the mind stops planning our life.

00:08:14

Conscious people allowed the COVID confinement to be an opportunity.

00:08:19

To stop planning all their life,

00:08:22

to let go,

00:08:23

to listen to their internal desires,

00:08:25

to allow the wave of change and trust,

00:08:28

the mind didn't like that loss of control.

00:08:31

The best ideas don't come to us when we are active,

00:08:35

but when we are relaxed.

00:08:37

Whether in the shower,

00:08:38

in a deck chair,

00:08:40

or during a hike,

00:08:42

Newton had the revelation when an apple fell on his head.

00:08:46

Archimedes cried,

00:08:47

Eureka!

00:08:48

I found it!

00:08:49

while he was in his bath.

00:08:51

You must have already found the name that had slipped

00:08:53

your mind when you were busy with something else,

00:08:57

or the answer to a question after a good night's sleep.

00:09:01

Non-focused time,

00:09:02

time when your mind stops deciding and managing

00:09:06

everything is necessary for the creative process.

00:09:09

The more you waste time breathing on your master bench,

00:09:14

the more you distract your mind from its goals and beliefs.

00:09:18

The more likely you are to create your life outside of its routine linearity.

00:09:24

Conscious breathing allows you to connect with your inner wisdom,

00:09:28

and we especially need to breathe and let go

00:09:32

in this time of rapid transition and of galloping technology,

00:09:36

in this time where our mind worries about the

00:09:38

future and is overloaded with visual and auditory information.

00:09:43

To be a master of time is to constantly manage your time.

00:09:47

It's believing that time works for you.

00:09:51

When I'm worried about running out of time or when I

00:09:54

find that everything is moving too slowly for my taste,

00:09:57

I remind myself that time works for me,

00:10:01

time is at my service.

00:10:03

I no longer let the agenda written by my mind decide everything for me,

00:10:09

I choose consciously.

00:10:11

In this acceleration of the rhythm of life,

00:10:14

our society

00:10:15

seeks by all means necessary to regain control of spacetime.

00:10:21

We talk more and more about life balance,

00:10:24

which means balance of my lifetime.

00:10:28

The flexibility of work and the

00:10:30

development of teleworking are also very interesting

00:10:33

attempts to regain control of time instead of being a slave to it.
