My Timeline Has Changed

Hi i have been doing some work on collapsing anchors.I have found that when i put good feelings into the future its straight ahead andi cannot move it past seven years into the future.i have tried to do it slow with one year at a time and fast, but still no more than seven years
My timeline usually goes from left which is the past to the right the future.Now i have past is still left of me and future is in front of me so i am confused anyone enlighten me. thanks

Hi Karen


Oh my it looks like your doomed, doomed, doomed, So just lets consider the idea of a time line that was say 100 years long- its just a pretend time line- so don't get any ideas of using it- yet just lets say for augments sake there was a spare time line hanging about- that was 100 old and every 11.3 days theres a box of good feelings of one sort or another- now as a good time keeper you have to go to the end of that line and look down it- to make sure its straight- and that all the good feeling boxes are in alignment- and as you imagine doing that- from that time in that location from that point of view- and while your doing that what happens if just for a few minutes you adopt that time line for a few minutes and walk down it until you reach the here and now then turn around and allow it to fill in the missing learnings you may need to make the adjustments that work for you.

Lovely that you have a time line, Karen. I have a time cloud, so I don't know when anything is until I access it.

I bet there's something past that seventh year...

People can organize time in many ways. Only a generalization with plenty of exceptions but often front to back is more associated (maybe more compelling) and side to side is more neutral. You may just have made your future more associated which isn't a bad thing if you put in there feelings you wanted. It wouldn't be bad either if you had a more neutral take on the past. It doesn't have to make sense or be consistent all along, just work in the way you want at the right places! If you wanted to find out the difference between organizing it for yourself in different directions you could design some interesting questions and tests for yourself..

You may like diagonal ones or up and down ones or spiral ones going out from centre?

One thing though is that if you are conceiving of time as a time line to begin with then you are filtering perceptions through a concept of time is still and you move through it something like "life is a journey, path to walk, etc". This is not the only way to conceive of time. You may conceive of it as a substance like when people say "time is slipping through my fingers/the sands of time". It seems Phil with his time cloud may be conceiving of time in terms of substance. Also it could conceived in ways that you are still and time does the moving such as "time is catching up". Try playing with that. Stay still and have your future come slap you in the face instead of walking towards it! That may be even more compelling. Who knows.. experiment.

Remember all these models and exercises are simply ways of playing with basic concepts. You can shift the concept entirely to play in different ways. How many other ways could you mess with relating to time? We organize perceptions with conceptions. Choose whichever are most appropriate.
