Seeing Change Beyond Time

Here is a simple and reliable way to reduce stress and increase happiness. What we call time is the mind’s way of organizing the experience of change. Time is a mental construct that allows us to coordinate and maintain order in society, but it does not exist independently in reality. What is real is change—the continual arising and passing of phenomena. When you clearly observe this in your daily life, the pressure and stress that come from thoughts about time begin to dissolve naturally.
