Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning.

At the Sevenoaks 1991 meeting of the Doctor Healer Network a discussion turned to difficulties in coping day after day with too much work in too little time. There was a startling suggestion that, if a positive affirmation is made before starting a task, it might be done 'out of time', i.e. speeded up. This idea aroused considerable interest in the group and left a few people to ponder further and then try it out for themselves. One or two have reported back that it worked for them, especially in compressing the time required for lengthy and tiring journeys.

Over years we have had, directly and channelled through published works of others, inspired teachings which on the subject of time tend to agree some basic beliefs. Time is related only to our earth level existence. It does not exist on higher levels of awareness, where there are only cycles of activity and non-activity.

Time grips our lives in physical matter with tight control and we are conditioned to accept its restrictions, especially under modern day circumstances of living. Time is a sequential registration by the brain of states of awareness and of progressive contacts with phenomena.
Viewed from wider dimensions of soul, time is in essence an illusion which is unseen and not an absolute truth. But the illusion of time can fluctuate according to those who create the illusion. As man incarnate invented time, with correct thinking he can dismiss it, thus reducing the stress of having to accomplish things in limits of earthly time available. If by mental attunement we link ourselves and the flow of our evolution to the superconscious, we can achieve progress without feeling so much of the drag and limitations of time. Spiritual man is not conscious of time, once separated from the physical body.

We discussed at the meeting how using a technique of affirmation to do a task out of time can bring real benefit, as when doing a lengthy chore. In personal experience, this has also been usefully taught to, and successfully done by, people with desperate need. People with tumours have used the Simonton methods of relaxation and visualisation before their next medical appointment where decisions were scheduled on whether to procceed with radical treatments. Another application is for a carer with heavy burdens of constant night and day responsibilities for a bed-ridden dependant to invoke a full night's refreshing sleep in but a few hours. It really does work.

Are we then compressing the task or stretching its time span? These and other questions challenge us to examine anew our beliefs and disbeliefs about physical reality.

How else may be benefit from this? It would be interesting to hear of other people's experiences so that we can learn more of the potential for developing this mental ability to tune in and influence time or change the feelings about its limitations.

Editor's note: Several DHN members have reported very good results with this practice.
