Part 8 of 45 · Chapter 9 · 9 min 55 sec
You’ve read the books on productivity. You’ve tried the time-blocking, the calendar systems, the morning routines. You know how to manage minutes. You’ve probably done more inner work around “being present” than most people you know — meditation apps, breathwork, the whole nine yards.
And yet. There’s still this feeling, isn’t there? That time is something happening to you. That there’s never quite enough. That the past is heavy and the future is uncertain and the present is mostly spent worrying about both. If something still isn’t clicking around your relationship with time, this chapter is the piece nobody handed you.
It’s not you. It’s not a lack of discipline. It’s not that you haven’t read the right book yet. The reason time feels like a cage is because you’ve been taught to relate to it as something fixed, external, and scarce. A line moving forward. A countdown. A resource you’re always running out of.
Here’s the reframe David offers in this chapter: time isn’t a line. It isn’t even a thing. It’s a sensation produced by your consciousness moving across a field of experience that already contains everything — past, present, and future, all at once. When you grasp this, even slightly, your relationship to “I don’t have enough time” begins to dissolve. Not because you suddenly get more hours, but because the container you’ve been pouring your life into changes shape.
This is the gateway chapter for the time teachings in this series. Take it slowly. You might want to listen to it twice. The first pass is for the mind. The second pass is for the body.
What this chapter unlocks
- What David Cameron Gikandi says time actually is: not a fixed substance moving forward, but a sensation produced by your consciousness moving past pre-existing events in the field of life. The “watch” measures the clock face — it doesn’t measure you.
- The soccer-field analogy: if you were a small object on the field, you’d feel time pass as you moved between points. If you became the field itself, time would cease — everything would be happening here, now, always. This is what mystics mean by the eternal moment.
- Why “I don’t have enough time” is a belief that creates its own evidence: people short of time on the outside are short of it on the inside first. The thought shrinks consciousness, which shrinks experience, which confirms the thought.
- The soul and mind are larger than the body: David asks where, exactly, your soul ends — three feet from your body? A mile? A light year? Considering this question begins to loosen the assumption that you are a small thing inside a small life.
- Why the present moment is “a gift you send yourself”: what’s showing up now was designed by your earlier thoughts, words, and states of being. Resisting it keeps it. Examining it honestly reveals the lesson and unlocks the next level.
The 30-second test
Listen to the first 30 seconds. If you hear David say that the biggest trick time ever played on us was making us think it was real — and something in your chest loosens, or tightens — this is your chapter. The loosening is recognition. The tightening is the part of you that has been gripping the clock for a long time. Both are signals that this teaching is meeting you exactly where you are.
Why this chapter matters in the series
Earlier chapters laid the groundwork — that wealth is a state of consciousness, that everything is energy in motion, and that thought, choice, and state of being shape what shows up. Now we’re moving into one of the great hidden levers: time itself. This is the first of two chapters on the truth about time, and it’s the foundation. The next chapter builds on this to show you how to bend time in your direction — to experience more, do more, and receive faster. You have to feel this one before that one will land.

the truth about time it does not exist except as you say it does time is a funny thing a very funny thing the biggest trick time ever played on us was to make us think it was real and that we re under its full control yet time is were under its full control yet time is a complete illusion a strong and persistent illusion what wonderful news that is time is an illusion created by ou once you understand how this you once you understand how this illusion is created by you you then begin to recreate it as you wish consciously and deliberately instead of unconsciously and accidentally as you may have been doing what is time
what do I have to do with time how should I think and be about time so that I may experience wealth and other things in larger quantities faster this chapter will begin to answer these questions in other chapters in this book these Concepts will become more real to you the only time that truly exists is now the distinction between past present and future is only an illusion however persistent Albert Einstein whether time is long or short and whether space is Broad or narrow depend upon the Mind those whose minds are at leisure can feel one day as a millennium and those whose thoughts are xpansive can perceive a small house to expansive can perceive a
small house to be as spacious as the universe hung Shu Shang time flows in all directions not forwards only as it appears to the past present and future exist simultaneously here is an easy explanation of what time is this is an extremely simplified explanation but it will do for now imagine a football or soccer field with 10 objects spread around it now imagine that a certain object a represents a child being born and a certain object B represents being a 10-year-old child if object a was to travel to object B this travel would take what you now call 10 years of time that is 10 human years of a child growing up now it gets
a little complex what if the football field was to shrink object a would reach B and pass through all the experiences of 10 years of childhood but the sensation of time would change in other words 10 years would feel very different if that fi shrunk enough 10 years could feel like a instant and you have xperienced this often when you’re xperienced this often when you’re xperienced this often when you’re having a great time you feel as if time flew by you did not notice the hours pass yet your watch said they passed because your watch is designed to take the same amount of time to move from one second marker on the clock face to
the next but you are not designed that way time is moving of your Consciousness past pre-existing events in the SpaceTime continuing you will soon see what this is the field of life that we live in is not not static it keeps changing its Dimensions that is why we have to keep readjusting our watches worldwide all the time for this crazy thing called time to make sense to us but only because we think of time as consistent slices or periods it is not it is merely our misinterpretation of our Consciousness moving by one pre-existing event in the field of life to the next event as you shall soon see the field of life is not static
nor does our Consciousness move at a fixed speed the field may not change that fast for us and our Consciousness may not change its rate that fast unless we will it to do so and that is why we do not usually notice these differences that much and see that time is not constant but if you were to travel very fast in a spaceship as you may well have heard from Einstein’s theory of relativity you can slow down time or even go back in time is more of a sensation of passing events and the faster or slower you pass these vents the faster or slower the calibration of time changes it is not he taking of
time that changes it is the taking of time that changes it is the calibration of Time 1 minute no longer takes one minute okay back to the soccer field imagine you were one of the objects you would feel time as you move around the field passing other objects that you see isn’t it yes now imagine that you were born moving faster say three times the speed time would seem shorter now imagine that you were the so ER field itself or even an object large nough to cover the whole field now we nough to cover the whole field now we nough to cover the whole field now we are talking time would cease to exist for
you because you are the field and you can feel touch and be with all the objects on you at the same time always there would be no travel from one object o another it would all be happening to another it would all be happening here now all of it all the 10 objects would be happening at the same time for you always this is the Eternal moment of now here every everything that can possibly happen in the universe verything that can possibly be created everything that can possibly be created the past present and future are all running at the same time in one huge field your Consciousness and awareness are awake to only a small
section of this field at any one time and as you move them about from one point to another you experience time experiencing a sensation of past present and future the field itself does not experience time it only experiences an eternal process that is always happening all at one go now here always always you can think of the whole field as the source as you expand your Consciousness and awareness as you take up more and more of the field and time shrinks for you can you see that now the amazing thing is that the mind and the self or Soul and Spirit whichever used to referring to is a lot larger than your physical body we
are used to thinking of the Soul or self as a little thing contained inside our body that is just human thinking relating things to Containers have you ever considered that the soul being far more powerful than the body actually holds the body together and surrounds it and the mind holds the brain and nervous system together and surrounds it if you have considered that he soul and the mind are larger than the soul and the mind are larger than the body and brain have you ever considered where they end how many feet away from your body or how many mind mil away or how many light years away from your body does your soul end it
is not impossible that your soul and mind are a billion times larger than your body why not they are infinite and eternal yet this humongous powerful self is you anyway let us get back to wealth understanding time clearly how it works and how to take control of it and understanding yourself and your s’s composition and relation with everything else physical and non-physical is of high importance if you wish to experience massive wealth fast it is all a matter of expanded Consciousness right State and right thought and choice these lead to your Consciousness becoming awake to the wealthy parts of the whole and doing so in wider circles now is the only moment that exists an
eternal moment of now is all there is you can remember the past and ream the future but you can only be dream the future but you can only be xist here now make an irrevocable xist here now make an irrevocable xist here now make an irrevocable commitment to yourself to make now the best moment of your life ever do not dwell in the past or live in the future your only moment is now dwell in now as you will soon see your outer World mirrors your inner world you will see in this book how this is so do you feel as if you do not have enough time to do what you wish to do
people short of time on the outside are short of it on the inside they act think and speak believing they are short of time stop thinking and saying you do not have nough time do not believe that for a enough time do not believe that for a second the universe has no shortages of anything including time and neither do you except for the ones that you build for yourself believing in any sort of shortage makes your Consciousness maller and slower so that you may smaller and slower so that you may experience what you believe in the present moment is the greatest gift you can have it is perfectly created for you according to your stated
esigns you state these designs by the designs you state these designs by the thoughts states of being words and actions that you held most true to yourself earlier the present is omething that you send yourself a something that you send yourself a perfectly present moment it allows you to experience taste review and change your past thoughts states of being words and actions be grateful for the present for you know you can change it for it allows you to experience yourself for its entire existence is to serve you cursing condemning and judging the present moment will only keep it as it is longer what you resist judge and condemn persists what you Embrace and bring to
the light for non-judgmental honest and clear examination reveals the lessons you are looking for the key to the next level that you seek time is only an illusion produced by the succession of our states of Consciousness as we travel through Eternal duration and it does not exist where no consciousness exists in which the illusion can be produced but lies asleep HP blavatsky the future influences the present just as much as the past nii
