Once we understand the concept of time and decipher the conditions it puts on our day-to-day activities, which are guided by our planning and verification while executing , both triggered by the thoughts that precede or follow it, we will be able to really get control of the "true time" that we need to know.
How do we do that?
Well, to do that we first of all we need to release ourselves from the conditions that the so called time controls in us in today’s life. What are they? If we were to do an analysis of things and time, we will find that almost every living moment of ours is managed or controlled by the so called time which we think we know.
But seldom we allow us to take control of it and manage it so that we can manage it better for our real need. And what is that? For answering this we need to know first "why do we do what we do"?
Many us even dare not think about it, for we are so scared that it will open up a Pandora box of new problems and we will be in a deluge of problem apart from that are already being fought every day.
No. it is not true. Actually it is this fear that keeps us form even attempting to find out “why we do what we do?” Fear is primordial and it keeps us busy away from finding alternatives and only those who have taken courage to challenge fear have really taken the right step in the right direction.
When I say fear, I do not exclude any fear. It can be in any form. From fear of death to fear of fear itself. All forms of fear drive us away from taking conscious bold steps in finding out the cause or the purpose of life, which I termed above as “why we do what we do”
We often carry out many routine chores while our thoughts are in a different plane and on objects. These actions are not done with any involvement and like a robot we carry them out. On such occasions we do a perfect job by sheer practice or less complexity of it. But have you noticed actions like breathing, sneezing, blinking, etc, do not even exist in our memory unless it was linked with another act or event of importance. But we never ask ourselves why am I breathing or blinking etc? do we? But any other act where we need to involve and expect a “result”, we are scared or are careful. For the results control our thoughts and through them the actions. And invariably we are in a state of fear, fear of failure. This is because the result is more important than the action. Even though we all know that it is the action that controls the result but , fear of failure and the result thereof controls our action.
Fear of failure is again driven by two factors, time to complete and how we do it. While we may know how to do it, mostly it is the factor of “time” which plays an important factor and the decisive factor of success or failure. We internally fear that we may be able to complete it and the way want to complete it. This pressure works during examination and most fail not because they never know the answer but they lost ”time” due to fear and could not complete the full requirement.
While how we do it, is basic dexterity and this depends on the practice one puts in. But the real controlling factor on the spot performance is not dexterity but knowing the “Time” and its influence on our actions. For this we need to think and understand the concept of “time” and how to mange or take control of it so that we master our actions.
This we will discuss in detail step by step in the following days.
