Day One Theory

Understanding Day One Theory

The Day One Theory explores our relationship with time through the physical dimension (3D). It challenges our perception that we carry the weight of our entire lifetime in our bodies.

What We Think Is True

• We are the collection of all our time

• Past experiences create who we are now

• We must carry our history with us

• Time is linear and accumulative

What We Can Discover

• The body exists only in the present

• Time is relative to our perception

• We can choose what time we carry

• Freedom exists beyond linear time

Time Relativity

We've all experienced how time can feel different in various situations:

Slow Time

Last class before summer break, watching the clock tick

Fast Time

Summer days of play that seem to fly by

This demonstrates that our experience of time is subjective and can be influenced by our state of mind and focus of attention.

Experiments to Try

1. Time Audit

Observe your thoughts and notice how much time each one contains. For example, thinking about rent due in 30 days means you're carrying 30 days of time in that thought.

Key Insights

• Stress, anxiety, and burdens are often just time we're unnecessarily carrying

• We can choose to release the weight of past and future to live more freely

• The body exists only in the present moment - all else is mental construction

• Freedom comes from breaking the chain of linear time identification
