Exploring ‘Elastic Time’ in Ancient Spiritual Traditions

In many ancient spiritual traditions, time is not understood as a fixed, linear idea, but rather as a fluid and elastic force that may be controlled and experienced in many ways. This idea of ‘elastic time’ is common in civilizations throughout the world and has a profound spiritual value for those who practice it. One of the first examples of ‘elastic time’ is found in the Hindu school of Vedanta, which teaches that time is a mental construct rather than an objective reality. According to Vedanta, time may be stretched or compressed based on one’s consciousness and state of being.Meditation and spiritual practice allow people to transcend the constraints of linear time and reach higher realms of awareness in which the past, present, and future blend into a single totality. <a href="https://medium.com/@dragosmyhai/exploring-elastic-time-in-ancient-spiritual-traditions-4a07cb08695f">Website</a>
