How to Measure Time?

760.4Question: There is a movie called In Time in which people live to be 25 years old and after that they must earn their years of life and time is the currency. They have millionaires who earned millions of years of living. And there are people who need to buy or steal enough hours to make it through the day.

Do you agree with such a plan of the Creator for a lifetime? Or could you suggest some other option?

Answer: I think that we need to replace time with a different dimension that we measure ourselves against—whether we are old, young, growing, and so on. All of it is relative and depends on how and what line of measurement a person chooses.

Therefore, I would not say that we need to measure time with a chronometer. It is measured by a person’s deeper attitude to himself, to the world, to creation, and not by the clock, when some mechanism beats tick-tock, tick-tock and I measure myself by it.

Question: As a Kabbalist, how would you propose to relate to time?

Answer: With absolute calm. I am only interested in what I manage to do with myself during the time that is running out.
