<strong>Alchemical</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> - L2M - Issue 26<br />

Let us imagine that it is 14:30pm. Within the 60 minutes<br />

of the hours between 14:00 and 15:00, 30 minutes are<br />

in the past and the remaining 30 minutes belong to the<br />

future. 30 minutes have already happened and 30<br />

minutes are yet to take place. In the exact moment in<br />

between is the present. However, the present moment<br />

can be divided into one fraction of a moment that is in<br />

the past and one that is in the future. Supposedly, you<br />

live in the present moment. But when is that really? As<br />

we have seen, it is very brief. Before we know it, it will<br />

have disappeared into the mist of past times, whilst<br />

simultaneously being replenished with fresh time<br />

arriving from the future. It seems as if there are a<br />

number of infinitesimally short moments of present time<br />

that keep replacing each other.<br />

The way I see it, time as used and interpreted by people<br />

is an invention to make it easier to plan and control our<br />

lives. A traditional clock, with hands moving around the<br />

circular dial, is simply a device to make it easier for us to<br />

catch a train, meet a friend, or go to work before the<br />

boss notices that we are missing. Life is a chain of<br />

events (as Immanuel Kant would have it) and a clock<br />

provides one way of measuring the distance between<br />

them, just as a map will show you the geographic<br />

location and physical distance between two places or<br />

events.<br />

All the time you need<br />

It has been said that you have the time you need. You<br />

may not always feel that this is the case. “If only I had<br />

more time”, people often say. Yet, that notion is more<br />

often related to anxiety, a sense of inadequacy or<br />

shortcoming, rather than really not having enough time.<br />

I mentioned that time is not a commodity. This means<br />

that one person cannot access more of it than anyone<br />

else. If something is due tomorrow, we all have the same<br />

number of minutes until the hour strikes. Yet, is that<br />

really true, from a spiritual point of view? There is<br />

interplay between time and action. Time can stretch,<br />

flex and be malleable. I truly believe that Spirit has a<br />

hand in this. I claim that the expression “We made it just<br />

in time!” is more often heard than “Damn, we missed it”.<br />

You do have all the time you need. Just remove your<br />

watch and avoid paying any attention to time. Time<br />

does not really exist anyway.<br />
