That's because you spend your time either speeding forward or thinking about the past few minutes! without really concentrating on living in the present moment. We all have the capacity to look at time--and! by doing so! to step into a new awareness of it and experience its next dimension! time freedom. But we cannot just look with our eyes and understand with our mind! we must experience it with all the facets of our being; with all our senses! with our perceptions! our feelings! and our heart. Timeshifting is the method for doing this! and how you can learn timeshifting is what this breakthrough book is about. In Timeshifting! Stephan Rechtschaffen teaches us that time is subjective! not objective! and that we can take back control of our lives by changing the way we think about time. We can relearn how to live our lives to their fullest potential; to have the time to enjoy ourselves! our families! and our jobs. Timeshifting is not about time management; it won't teach you how to do more in a shorter period of time. It will! however! give you back all the time you need to accomplish what you want! and you'll find that you are more relaxed! less stressed-out! and better able to enjoy the best things in life. Leseprobe Self Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows. --Henry David Thoreau The trouble with those of us in the West is that we're always busy, always doing, always on the go. True, we're alone a great deal of the time, but even when we're by ourselves we're busy. Indeed, our society proclaims that being busy is a virtue, and we feel vaguely guilty when we're not. There is a need for more time for solitude, a time for contemplation and meditation, when the mind is quiescent and feelings are at ease. Getting to that time is one of the principal aims of timeshifting. Yet we're afraid of solitude because we're afraid of the feelings that will rise before we can be at ease, afraid to confront who we are when stripped of our "doing" nature. I'm a doctor, a father, a lecturer, always in one role or another--yet who am I without all of this? And so, when we're alone, we straighten the house, pay the bills, cook the dinner, watch television, surround ourselves with the canned noise of a radio or Walkman; in effect, we are seeking companionship even when there is no other human being around.
