We hate to disappoint you but we are not going to tell you how to stop time. Actually, there may not be anything at all such as time. But for now let's assume there is, at least it looks like it's so on the Timex!
According to our present understanding, we call wall time (or real-time) objective time. This is the "everyday" time we are used to. You know, "9 to 5." The other time, the one that we are interested in here, is referred to as subjective time. You might call this mind time. Your mind seems to know no time at all. In other words, it doesn't experience the flow of time as we do in our everyday doings.
So in actuality what I'm going to show you is how to contact your mind directly while still being able to relate to what we know as reality.
The Procedure:
You will need a clock or watch with a visible second hand on it. A clock is better because it is larger. find a place where you can relax: a bedroom, floor, kitchen table. the thing is you want a place where you can effortlessly gaze at the clock face. You shouldn't have to strain.
It helps if you have been in a meditative state of one nature or another. Don't despair! If you aren't aware of any of this, don't worry. Anyone can do this...so hold on!
FIRST Position the clock in front of you so there is no effort or strain when you look at it. Now relax totally. Sometimes it helps to put your head on your arms, breathe deeply for a while, and clear your mind of all thoughts. Don't force yourself to relax. In a sense, just let it flow.
SECOND While relaxed, passively gaze at the second hand on the clock. Absorb yourself in its rhythm.
THIRD This is the key step. Think about a good pleasurable experience of yours. Now close your eyes and visualize yourself experiencing it again. Engage yourself. Feel all the sensations. You must not only think about it but actually be there! Relive the experience. All of you must be there. Keep trying. It may help if the experience was a relaxing one such as sunbathing.
FORTH When you have the above visualization under control, s-l-o-w-l-y open your eyes just a little. don't focus on the clock, but just let your eyes fall on its face, like a "disinterested observer." If done properly, the second hand will seem to slow down, stick, and even stop! And if you are really successful, the second hand will stop for as long as you can hold that frame of mind!
"Oh no!" you exclaim. If you are shocked when you see the secondhand stop, it will start up again. You can make it stop by repeating the above procedure. Practice until you've got it.
