Hello from you, to you ;¬)
As we progress to fourth density, there is increasing cosmic energy flowing through us. Time is becoming faster and faster. Days, weeks and months are dashing by. Some people note "time speeds up when you get older", but to me that's not a satisfactory answer, it feels really fast. Ridiculously fast. Events planned months ahead come and go in a heartbeat. It's only just turned 2010 and we're halfway through the year already (!).
This ties in with memory too. I would like to briefly explain to you how my memory works, and see if it's similar to others on this board. I'm very curious as to see how many of us, if any, function in this manner.
I'll do this using illustrations as it puts the concept over in a much clearer fashion (and it's fun to do). Most people I meet are of the 'timeline' type, they see past events - to varying degrees, of course - in a linear fashion...
You can ask them about an event (A to Z in this example) in their lives, and not only will they will be able to recall great detail, they can place it in time. As an extreme example, a person I used to work with could tell you what she did, very precisely, at certain ages. How she felt, what she ate for dinner on her birthday etc. She could do this year-by-year.
I seem to operate in the complete opposite. There is no linear progression to the past, as I sense/remember it. There is now, and there is the past, which is singular (if that). All events seem to merge into one in that blobular past.
If someone asks me about an event that happened, it could be a week, a month, or a year ago. Even 10 years. If someone asks me what I did when I was X years old, well, they will witness someone with an incredibly still (edit: blank) mind. I struggle to remember names and birthdays too.
This is not to say I have a dysfunctional memory, as things that interest me retain very nicely indeed. Spiritual texts, philosophies, methodologies etc. are all immediately available without directed thought.
As I live more in the now, the past seems to flitter away, and the blob becomes more hazy. It seems to be moving at the same rate as time, hence, since we're all experiencing faster time, I wondered whether memory was part of the equation, at least for some of us.
Update: Gemini Wolf expressed the feeling very accurately...
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, a handful of words was worth two pictures :¬)
A key factor I have only just realised when previewing this post is that some of the people I meet with a timeline memory are identified with their past. They repeat stories in which to re-enforce their perception of identity/self. Not always, but in some cases.
The past is far less relevant to me, to the degree it's hardly ever brought to light.
So, what does time and memory mean to you as we move to fourth density, are you noticing differences in perception? Does any of this resonate with anyone? :¬)
