You can talk back to your thoughts.

You can interact with your thoughts. Just ask why they are there—you’ll get the answer eventually.

It's up to you what you think, what's good, and what's bad.


Everything Happens at the Same Time

Relativity is about relative importance.

Relativity has nothing to do with speed relative to each other.

Everything happens at the same time, right now.

The past already happened, so it’s gone. But we still carry information from the past (memories, for instance) that still dictate how we move now.

So, things we find important make us selectively think about certain topics. Relativity, therefore, is about importance. When you do something you love, which you find interesting and important, it’s as if there is no time – it flies by.


Time and Our Bodies

I'm going to explain time through our bodies.

Everything in your body happens at the same time.

At different geographical locations.

The universe is like that. Everything happens at the same time. So somebody in Australia lives simultaneously with me now. The only difference is our physical spot—just like my liver works at the same time as my heart and brain.

Therefore, time is perspective. You look at the sun from a different spot. Time also moves in cycles: winter comes and goes, and comes again.

Our organs shine light on our body—they show our bodies from different perspectives.


Time

Everything happens at the same time.

Don't mistake this for "living in the here and now."
That idea lacks respect.

That's not the same.
Returning to the here and now is not possible.
You are always in the here and now, even when daydreaming.

You still have choice.

Does the past exist?
In our hearts. In our memories.

But it already happened. Yet, it's still relevant.
When you've been through tough times, they may still linger with you.

So it's not that the past and present happen at the same time,
but we still carry memories from the past.

Time.
Everything happens at the same time.
The past already happened—it's gone.
But it still lives in our hearts and memories.
So we still carry the past, even while everything is happening at the same time.


Time is also not relative. Time can't go faster or slower than other time. But it is relative in importance.

You stop at important events more. You slow down.
But you can't go back in life.
(Sure, you can go back in clock time, but that's just a construct—a mere derivative.)

The worst narrative is probably Buddhism:
You can't "return" to the here and now. You are always in the here and now, even when thinking or daydreaming.

Besides that, Buddhism is extremely impolite. It's like telling someone who has been through a terrible event:
"Don't worry, only the here and now exist."

Beyond that, you need information from the past.
If there's only the here and now, how would you walk to your house?
You wouldn’t even know where it is.


We are sitting on a moving cart.

Everything happens simultaneously. This will always be the case.

But: we are also moving forward in time. The past no longer exists, but we still carry its information in our memory.

The past therefore partly determines how we move in the present. If you have experienced something unpleasant, you might not dare to go outside anymore. Your movement is literally restricted by your past. You can extend this idea further: how things move is determined by what they have experienced in the past. Or: people who are religious move differently because they believe they are being observed.

Time is therefore of relative importance.


I Don’t Like Time

Therefore, I live without it. The sun still goes down.

For the things I really need to do, I set an alarm.

But in day-to-day life, I try to forget about time. It feels like a prison.

Life should dictate the pace, not time.


How Time Works

Everything happens now, at the same moment.

The statement above is true. But there is an important caveat.

What happened in the past still matters.

Imagine experiencing something traumatic for years. The way you move through daily life now is still shaped by things from the past.

So you can't just say: "Everything happens now, so why worry? The past doesn’t exist anymore." Well, it does—because people still literally behave differently due to what happened in the past.

That’s why time is relative, but more in the sense that important events from the past still have relevance and impact today. You can’t just tell someone, "Live in the here and now, because that’s all that exists." That would be very inconsiderate.

The past doesn’t exist anymore—it already happened—but it still has a relative importance in the present.

Energy is the only currency there is.

Think of it as using resources within a universe.

If you use ChatGPT, you extract resources from this universe.

Money is a representation of generations of people who have spent energy on things they thought were important.

Humans are exceptional at balancing—extracting energy and giving it back. Therefore, we are the scales.

"I don’t want to spend energy on bad memories."
Wrong. If you spend energy on things from the past, they become less scary. By processing them, you free yourself from having to spend energy on them again. You’ve dealt with them.
