Feelings are what go around.

The future is not narrowed by the present.

Present thoughts are narrowed by what we think we know. We can only think in terms of outcomes we already recognize.

So when I decide, “Should I go kickboxing?”, I usually think in terms of “a small chance of a good lesson” or “probably a bad lesson because I’m not good.” But I can’t think in terms of what my thoughts do not know yet.

Maybe something completely different happens — I meet the love of my life. Or I run into an old friend. Or I see a beautiful patch of sunshine. And besides that, things can happen that have never happened before.

Have you ever tried to finish a project without a due date? It’s virtually impossible.
Time is the limitation that allows things to get done.
Without time, everything starts at the same moment, so nothing starts, and nothing gets done.
In a universe where everything is, time is a necessary limitation.
So time is one of the prior conditions.

Is time relative?

Relativity is a small characteristic of time. Not all motion is time. Motion can go backwards and forwards, and sideways. If you were to look from above and were able to see everything, motion would not always be how you define time. You could also say it’s the coloring of the leaves.

I think there is too much focus on things being opposite of each other, while both are in motion. But it’s easier to see time as perspective, like two people looking at the same thing in the middle. Both people are standing still.

During a workday

People with ADHD drive 300 km/h (a small portion of the time, in hyperfocus)
or
they drive 50 km/h (most of the time).

People without ADHD drive 80 km/h all day long.

The difference is that visually this looks messy. People don’t really do much most of the time, but when they do, you don’t see how good they are. When they work, they are multiple times faster and use more resources.

People with autism drive 80 km/h on a small road (a narrow task, binary)
or
they drive 80 km/h on all roads (this is why reality can feel overwhelming).

People without autism drive 80 km/h on a motorway.

This is the reason why people on the autistic spectrum need to narrow their reality after doing something intense on a narrow road. Otherwise, reality can feel overwhelming. For instance, focusing only on breathing—a simple task.

During a Workday

Imagine work as driving.

People with ADHD don’t drive at one steady speed.
Most of the time, they drive 50 km/h.
But for short bursts—during hyperfocus—they drive 300 km/h.

People without ADHD drive 80 km/h all day long.

From the outside, this looks chaotic. It seems as if nothing is happening most of the time. But that’s misleading. When people with ADHD do work, you often don’t see how good they are, only when they are active. In those moments, they move much faster and use far more mental resources than average. The output is compressed into short, intense bursts.

Consistency looks calm. Intensity looks messy.

Now consider autism.

People on the autistic spectrum often drive 80 km/h on a small road—a narrow, clearly defined task.
Sometimes, it feels like driving 80 km/h on all roads at once.

That’s why reality can feel overwhelming.

People without autism mostly drive 80 km/h on a motorway. Wide lanes. Fewer signals. Less sensory input.

---

This also explains why people on the autistic spectrum often need to narrow their reality after doing something intense on a small road. After deep focus, the world can suddenly feel too wide, too loud, too full.

The solution isn’t complex.

It can be something very simple.
For example: focusing only on breathing.

One lane.
One task.
Back to a road that fits.

How to build your own reality via dimension stacking

I realise that I am going to use a lot of fancy words.
In essence, it is always simple: watch less news, for example.
But it is also important to understand why things work the way they work.

Let’s say I have room for a million thoughts in my head, and that I am a news junkie who watches the news 24/7.
If you add the dimension quantity to your thoughts, a significant part of them — let’s say 125,000 — will be about what you see on the news (this is an optimistic estimation).

So, 125,000 thoughts will be about murder, war, and crisis.
Also, you will be tilted toward things people on the other side of the planet suffer from, but that have nothing to do with you. That is not being ignorant — you have to be selective.

You don’t only watch the news, but you also reflect on it, and you form new connections with your day-to-day life. You can get into situations where your whole reality becomes “news-based.”

How to fix this
Watch less news, and spend a few minutes per day reflecting on your darkest thoughts. They will influence your day-to-day life the most.

Another example

You notice that the amount of very dark thoughts goes up, and you think about them more often.
This often means that parts of your body are in bad (energy) states. It can, for instance, mean that you are too disconnected from emotional problems, other people, or that something is wrong with a body part.

In simpler terms: if you see everything as a stream, the water is going downhill. You are in the wrong current.

How to fix this
Address this proactively. Stand still. Talk with your darkest thoughts. Ask them: why are you there?
You are built to get those answers, since you and your body need to learn how to communicate with each other.

If you pretend that your body is a completely separate entity, that is a valid strategy too — but then you will drop dead at some point in time. You have to accept that.

Seeing yourself for all you are

What the combination “higher power” and “perfect” means.
This means that everything you are, everything there is, is exactly as it should be in this given moment. Including your anxiety, your dark thoughts. Everything is perfect as it is. That doesn’t mean you can’t change things. But sometimes standing still at this fact helps. I don’t know why. You see yourself for everything you are.

From above, you don’t see time
You only see change and movement. You only see time if you know the meaning—like when different-colored leaves mean a tree is growing older. So you can only see time in the light of understanding meaning.

The past and present both exist
The past exists as memories in our heads. Besides that, the present is all there is. The future hasn’t happened and can be anything we want it to be. If we all decided this second that we won’t fight anymore, there would be no war ever again.

Everything in our bodies happens at the same time, but we can register it one by one.

If reality is too overwhelming, box it with time. Set a 5-minute timer and narrow reality. Now it becomes chunks of activity.

If you see this universe as a 60-year-old classy lady, the science equivalent of asking “How many bed partners did you have?” is weirdly impolite—trying to define something by quantifying it.

What is a universe supposed to say?

I just happened to open my online work meeting next to a YouTube video.
You immediately hear why we are unintentionally driven a little crazy by media. Everything sounds so much more dramatic because of how the audio is edited.
A normal conversation sounds almost innocent next to it.
