My kid really struggles with time perception. It does help him somewhat to know that time blindness is a thing, helps him not feel like such a screwup.

But at the same time, it’s the superpower. Prescience.

A myriad of possibilities. Actions. Their consequences. From your point forward. Every action you take. Sometime it happens exactly as you’ve seen it. Sometimes you’re able to see the different outcome for which you need to take a different actions. The fear. The anxiety.

What use is it to know the future, if you also have to take action in the moment?

The mantra comes into place, here. At this moment.

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind killer.

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.

Instead I will face my fear.

I will permitt it to wash over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye and see along its path.

And there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

If you haven’t watched it, The Good Place is really great. I wish I could unsee it!
