We bring forward our emotional baggage to add richness to life.

“Your emotional baggage is a gift that makes your life far more interesting and revealing through its increased potential to be a mirror of self.”
Through exploring the human experience, we have turned the singular, fast, original experience into a river that keeps branching out into a colossal tree-like structure that covers a wide, diverse territory of experience. In doing this, we are the ones who have taken ourselves out into the complexity, drama, jeopardy, and stress instead of coasting along and living an easy life.
Buried beneath the complexity and obstacles of the human experience is a fast-flowing, obstacle-free, ‘go with the flow’ experience of reality. It was introducing a resistive force in order to experience what would happen when we didn’t go with the flow that created the complexity and obstacles. Even though we now label these as negative and idealize the ‘go with the flow’ version of reality, when we first started using the resistive force to create branches and tributaries in the fast-flowing river, it was a new and exhilarating experience.
We are the ones who turned a relatively short experience (similar to us having a long dream when sleeping) into a time-filled experience that lasts decades. We took a dream-like, fluid, ever-flowing experience and made it rigid and as fixed as possible. We took a fun game and made it feel serious. We took a playground and made it seem dangerous. We evolved the experience as we wished.
- Every time we divert ourselves into wider territory, we create time and solidity.
- Every time we feel the resistance of fear, we create time and barriers.
- Every time we feel stressed and want to put the brakes on life, we create time and friction.
Even though it is slightly more convincing than our nightly dreams, life is a dream (a self-generating projection of consciousness). So, in creating time, we are talking about creating the experience of time (psychological time). You most acutely feel this when you wake up from a dream that feels like the story it told covered months, or when you get lost in…
