Time Isn’t Real (And Why That Changed Everything for Me)

August 25th – Reflections on a clockless Universe.

Sometimes I think about how much of my life I've spent chasing the clock. Rushing. Measuring. Waiting. But then I learned something that felt both terrifying and liberating: time doesn't actually exist. Not the way we think it does.

Even the physics tells us time is not a universal truth. It's not a river flowing forward, the same for everyone. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time can stretch and bend depending on speed and gravity. There's no cosmic clock ticking in the background. And in some interpretations of quantum physics, all moments – past, present, and future – exist simultaneously.

Time is not absolute. It's a framework we created to make sense of life. To organize meetings and seasons and birthdays. But outside of that human construct… there's only now.

When I truly let that sink in, something shifted. I stopped seeing my life as a straight road I had to "keep up with." I began to see it more like a vast field where I could wander, return to, revisit.
Suddenly, the past didn't feel gone. The future didn't feel far away.
And most importantly, I realized that the "right time" isn't somewhere in the distance – it's always here.

This also changed the way I see manifestation. Sometimes things come quickly. Sometimes they take "time." But if time itself is an illusion, maybe it's not about waiting – maybe it's about alignment. Maybe the only reason something feels far away is because I've placed it in a "future" that doesn't actually exist.

Time isn't real, but presence is. We can't step into the past or future, not because they're gone, but because they're all folded into now.

And in this exact moment, you're free to choose. To begin. To feel.
The clock is only as powerful as you let it be.

So let me ask you gently:
If there was no "too late" and no "not yet," what would you choose today? ✨

Softly,
Selflavie
