As George Orwell warned in 1984, one way to control people is to manipulate their sense of time, even to alter the past. However, a state of timelessness can also be beneficial, as in the flow state or mystical experiences. In this podcast, I explore finding the balance between being grounded in linear time and finding creative expression and fulfillment in timelessness. I cover topics such as left brain-right brain research, psychedelics, how social media distracts us into a state of involuntary timelessness, and the importance of being aware of our relationship with time.
