People who seek the purpose of heaven before anything else have a different sense of time. Time passes quickly for them because they have first moved inward toward the eternal, timeless forever, the purpose for which they were originally created.
There is no real ending of their lives; rather, physical death is the eternal beginning. From the moment your ego contemplates and misinterprets the empty future of accumulated accomplishments, you miss the real goal. Even enjoying the thought can produce anxiety.
At such moments of anticipation you will be projecting your soul outward instead of inward. The result of being 180 degrees off course is infinite frustration, a million light years distant, rather than a breath away, from the beginning, near the Beginner.
Aging now, with less and less time and energy in which to accomplish more, you are adrift, near the end of your life without a moral compass.
And so it has come to pass, from the moment I awaken in the morning, I feel that I have just been born. Like Adam, I seem complete with language, everything I need to know in order to be. In that state, there is little or no sense of time. Time is hands on a clock.
It is always now, no past, no future, always now, and no fear of death or dying or anything left to do. It is the eternal now, the timeless now and forever more.
"It is always now, no past, no future, always now, and no fear of death or dying"
When Albert Einstein was asked to explain his theory of relativity in simple language, he answered, “When is the station coming to the train?” In a similar manner, relativity changes when you surrender your will to God.
In the here and now you will not feel afflicted with time in your accomplishments. In reality, your body will be subject to change and decay, but not your soul, which will be imprinted with the identity of God and the timeless purpose of His nature.
When God becomes your Father, (relative) you may occasionally feel motion passing you by because you are, scientifically and relatively speaking, still; things happen to you relative to Him.
There may come moments where you will feel oddly distant, aware and detached, somewhat apart from your body. There will be a sense that the road is moving toward and past you, rather than you driving down the highway of life.
Your hands on the steering wheel will feel like they are not yours, that your body is not your body, that you are only the instrument and the vehicle. Life will pass you by, coming toward you while you are stopped, still with God.
You will have a sense that you have already arrived, and all that will be, for good or ill, will come toward you as a matter of course. Adventure and accomplishments are coming toward you, not you toward them.
