Time is an idea.

But we do not experience time.

Experience is timeless.

The only thing that exists is now. Now is indefinite. The past and the future are both ideas that exist now.

The past never was. There is only now. The past is only an idea that we plant in our head for our own reasons. Sometimes we feel that the past prisons us, but we are in fact imprisoning ourselves. Because time does not exist we can reshape moments in our past so that they aren't actually so awful as we thought they were. Rethink the past. There were so many positive things about the past, concentrate on those. Of those things that that we did not appreciate think of them as great moments for learning.

Remember time is just an idea, as is the past, and so we have the ability to create our past as we chose. We may think those mad mumbling bastards who claim that they are the most important person in the world are totally insane. Actually they're a lot more clued up on what it means to be human than we think, they're in more control of the ideas that shape their lives and hence more in control of their lives than we are.

If our past imprisons us, we are imprisoning ourselves and we are doing this because we use it as an excuse not to make an effort to improve our lives on planet earth. 'Look what the world did to me' you say. The world did nothing to you, you did it all to yourself. Release yourself, make the effort and be free.
