The Wisdom Traditions of Time, Your Mind, and Your Upward Flight

Everything is Now.

Anyone who has had a psychedelic experience of “everything, everywhere, all at once” knows how overwhelming it can be to have all points of awareness active in your consciousness at once. In such an experience, you dissolve from a single vantage point into a radial multiplicity. You are seeing everything, everywhere. The information is so vast, so huge, so MUCH, flying through at the speed of light, there is no way for the conscious mind to track it or even flow with it. You are literally left staring mutely in awe at a gushing, cosmic river of information. Of light.

And even in such a state, you are aware that what you’re perceiving is truly only a speck of what is actually there in that endless river, in the infinite multiplicity of creation.

The concept that everything is happening now all at once rather than in linear progression is core to many wisdom and consciousness traditions. This idea is something most of us can get in theory but not so much in experience.

So why does it matter, this concept of radial time, where all is accessible through a single point of illumined awareness? Why would it matter that we can access everything at once, particularly if it just leaves us incapacitated in overwhelm?

Because living a different relationship with time within the all-ness of now opens up a wholly different life moment by moment. In a day to day context, such an experience becomes like micro-dosing the powerful eternally now time-medicine. It is one of the keys to healing karma, ancestral lineages, wounds and limitations of this lifetime, as well as to accessing expanded states of consciousness. Ultimately, it is key to living from the fullness of the divine heart within.

In such non-linear wisdom traditions, time is experienced as kairos rather than kronos. While kronos (the root of our word chronology) is linear, logical time, kairos can be translated as the fullness of time. I often think of it as “all time.” Kairos is a radial, multidimensional realization rather than the 2-dimensional distance-from-A-to-B, or even the 4th dimensional knowing of the time/space continuum.

In radial time, all is accessible from the singularity, which we humans experience as the still point within us. Accessing awareness from here allows a profound synthesis of all the gifts and challenges of all of our lifetimes. This central access powerfully serves the purposes of our ascension, i.e. living as the fullness of all that we are as divine beings of light.

And here we shed light on what is happening in so many minds these days!

For the most part, the human mind is primarily rooted in linear time. This is why, for many of us, our minds are not functioning the way that they have in the past. As I’ve mentioned before, we are not going back to the old way, and this is a good thing! 

Because we cannot access the fullness of ourselves through linear time. Through our minds. It is a constriction of sorts, too small for the massive light coming through. Rather we are moving into living a bigger and more complete version of ourselves. This is what is accessible through radial time. 

All of this unfolding relates to the current planetary/solar/cosmic cycle we are in. There is no stopping it, as it is happening. The same is true for the shift in our minds. We are called into it whether we are on board or not. Our minds simply will not “hold it together” the way they used to, thank God. If you’re reading this, you’ve truly outgrown that cramped, irritating, control/intellectually based, all-worshipped supremacy of the mind. 

The gift is that, *knowing* this is happening (when you feel weird, not yourself, like your mind can’t function or the planet is just TOO STRANGE) can be the essential factor that shifts your relationship with it. Having awareness gives you a different perspective, which gives you new options.

This cosmic shift that is mushing our minds also facilitates a radiant bursting open in the heart, because the heart is the cosmic center of radial time. This shift can be disorienting because you are so much vaster than the context that you have lived within your mind, so everything is different. YES! The mind as we know it really must yield to this greater truth that we are. And, I’ll say it again, it is happening whether we are aware or not. The difference is our experience of it along the way.

The best news of all in this strange dissolution of your mind? What it yields to is Love. How beautiful to surrender and flow with a love that is bigger than what you can think, bigger than what you can know in your thoughts, bigger and more glorious than anything you’ve created or known or planned before.

Your mind then becomes winged with love. Your prayers are aloft on love. Your hearts, songs, and deep inner heart whispers all take flight on the freedom of the Love that lives you, moment by moment.

Celebrating this crazy, challenging, dissolving shift that is underway with you. 

All Love,

Christine
