Linear time and the World Drama Cycle represent contrasting perspectives on the nature of time and its impact on our experience of negative emotions such as anxiety, fears, tensions, and depressions.
Linear time follows the notion that time progresses in a linear fashion, flowing from the past to the future. This perspective is commonly embraced in Western cultures, where it offers a sense of control over events. However, when one’s ability to exert control diminishes or is absent, it can lead to negative feelings like anxiety, fears, tensions, or depressions.
In contrast, the World Drama Cycle views time as identically repeating events in each cycle. In each cycle, events are based on the interactions souls, God (supreme soul) and matter. When it comes to alleviating the negative emotions, the World Drama Cycle presents an alternative approach. It encourages a broader perspective, emphasizing that the present moment is not unique but has occurred countless times before. It posits that whatever has transpired in the past is good, whatever is occurring presently is good, and whatever will unfold in the future is also good. This perspective fosters patience, acceptance, and a sense of surrender to the natural rhythms of life. Practices such as Rajayoga meditation can aid individuals to internalise cyclic time.
Some individuals may find reassurance and empowerment in the structure and potential control afforded by linear time. Others might seek solace in the acceptance and surrender offered by the World Drama Cycle. Exploring both perspectives can help identify which resonates more with personal experiences and requirements when it comes to relieving negative emotions.
