It has been said that there are three different kinds of time: the physics time, the biological time and the inner time. The first concerns the parameters of physics (scientific point of view), the second takes into consideration how bodies work at a molecular level (life), the third refers to your personal perception. If you are trying to learn more about yourself, the inner time is certainly the most intriguing. One question might be interesting: is time circular or linear? If you think about the alternation of day and night or about the seasons, it's clear that time is circular, recurring, cyclical. But in your personal experience, time is going only in one direction, like an arrow: from past to present to future (it cannot go back as it may happen at the subatomic level). In reality, though, only the present is real because it is the only instant you can experience. Both past and future are either a memory of what has been or an anticipation of what you expect to happen. And even "now" does not really exist because its flow is relentless. Therefore, it's all in your mind!
