Relevance in the Michael Teaching
Is time an illusion? If so, it is a very persistent one. At the very least, it is an intellectual concept facilitating our ordering and comparison of events. The metrics of time as measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia, etc in their own right share a dimension of human perception we call a moment.
The Michael Teaching shares with many of the “new age” or spiritual teachings that time does not exist per’se. Einstein lent mathematical credence in this General Theory of Relativity. Without time our existence here on earth would lack a sense of progress. Only with the idea of advancement do we have language available to us to sort and contrast the multiplicity of inputs we receive from our environment.
Being young or feeling old each are references to the passing of stages in our lives and perceptual reactions to those states.
Cultural Meaning
For the scientist, time is the fourth dimension. As real and usable as its other spatial compatriots of height, width, and depth.
Session, event, period, season, career, aging, lifetime, are all subjective measures of time. They exist because we frame a set of experiences with common factors within their borders.
