Time Is a Trip: Why the Clock Is Lying and Your Soul Knows It

Let’s get one thing straight: the whole “time is linear” thing? It’s a scam. Somewhere along the line, we bought into the idea that time is a straight shot from birth to death. A ticking clock. A calendar full of deadlines. The Past is behind you, the Future is ahead, and the Present is… what, a narrow sliver you’re supposed to squeeze joy into before it slips away?
Yeah. No.
Every single one of us knows, deep down, that this version of time is off. That there’s something else happening. You’ve felt it in déjà vu, in dreams, in those trippy moments where time slows down or disappears altogether. You’ve definitely felt it on psychedelics. Time bends. It stretches. It loops. It vanishes. Sometimes, it sings.
And it’s not just your intuition—it’s science, too.
The Clock Is Not the Cosmos
Time, as we experience it in the West, is a construct. Humans made it up to track the sun, organize labor, and give capitalism a schedule. Time zones? Man-made. 9-to-5 workdays? Colonial. Daylight Savings? Don’t even get me started.
Indigenous cultures, ancient civilizations, mystics—all describe time as cyclical, seasonal, or multidimensional. The Mayans, for example, worked with overlapping calendars that tracked cosmic cycles and spiritual shifts, not just how long you’ve been stuck in traffic.
Linear time is a tool, but it’s not the truth.
Physics: Welcome to the Weird
Even Einstein said time was relative. It moves slower in strong gravitational fields (hi, black holes), and faster at higher altitudes. In other words: time isn’t fixed. It bends, depending on where—and how—you’re looking at it.
Then there’s the Block Universe Theory, which basically says: all points in time exist simultaneously. Past, present, future—they’re all just coordinates in space-time. Imagine time as a giant record album. You’re the needle. You can move.
(Yes, this is real science. No, you’re not high. Yet.)
What Psychedelics Know About Time
If you’ve ever done a hero’s dose—or even a strong micro—you know the truth already: time gets weird. A 10-minute trip can feel like a thousand years. You may find yourself in ancient Egypt, inside your 7-year-old body, or in a version of the future that’s so familiar it aches.
Why? Because psychedelics dissolve the Default Mode Network—the part of the brain that holds together your identity, your story, and your relationship to linear time. When that softens, so does the illusion. You’re not escaping reality; you’re experiencing more of it.
And if you’re microdosing with intention, you’re not just shifting your mood—you’re shifting timelines. You’re healing the past, reprogramming the now, and creating a path toward a future you’ve already met in some part of your consciousness.
Healing Across Timelines
Trauma isn’t in the past. It lives in your body like it just happened. That moment when you were hurt, abandoned, overlooked—it’s still looping in your nervous system.
But here’s the miracle: if all time exists at once, you can go back. You can bring your adult self—the wise one, the loving one—to the version of you who needed it most. That’s not metaphor. That’s alchemy.
In The Doserie’s time-travel meditation, we do exactly that. We meet our younger selves across timelines. We hold them, speak to them, and offer them what they never received. And yes, the body feels the shift.
Because to the soul, that healing is happening now.
Reclaiming Your Power from the Timeline Trap
If you’ve ever said, “I’m running out of time,” this is your invitation to burn that belief to the ground. You are not late. You are not behind. You are exactly where—and when—you need to be.
Every future version of you already exists. The one who’s healed. The one who’s free. The one who built the thing, left the thing, forgave the thing, finally loved herself. That version isn’t waiting in the distance. She’s here. She’s been whispering to you this whole time.
You don’t “move forward” to meet her. You remember her. And you collapse the distance.
Time Is a Spiral, Not a Straight Line
At The Doserie, we don’t just talk about microdosing and mindset—we talk about dimensions. We work with timelines like threads, weaving new futures while tending to the roots of the past. We build rituals that make you time-literate. We help you break free from the clock and step into the cosmos.
Because when you stop bowing to the illusion of time, you start dancing with your destiny.
