#time perspective

[thegrapeandthefig]

The timelapse from Linear B (estimated between 1600 and 1100BC) to the fall of the Roman Empire (475 AD) roughly corresponds to atleast 1500 years of history. 

1500 years for which we know that the Theoi were worshipped. First locally, but then brought along Empires to be extended to the whole Mediterraenan, from the Middle East to Spain and later, with the game of syncretism, up to Great Britain. 

You are reading this in 2020. There is as much time separating you from the year 520 AD then there was between a pagan of the late roman era to the first attested litterary presence of the Theoi in Linear B. 

What can you tell me of the state of humanity in 520 AD? Put this way it’s evident that your reality is not the same as your ancestor from the 6th century. In fact, for the grand majority, it’s so abstract that you have no clue of what life could be to them, even less so their religious life. 

All this mindfuck just to make this point: even if you choose to worship according to a specific timeframe, you need to be conscious that there has not been a single way to worship in 1500 years of history, but many different ways that both varied because of time and because of local cultures.

Improving Your Time Perspective

Improving Your Time Perspective

My over-arching personal-development theme for 2015 is “Mastery of Time.” It comes from a few inspirations, most particularly the definition of luxury promoted by Tim Ferriss:

Luxury is feeling unrushed. It is designing a life that allows you to do what you want with high leverage, with many options, all while feeling unrushed.

Now, I don’t know about the “high leverage” stuff, and there are…

Time Perspective and You

Recently I've been doing research on time perspectives and their affect on human behavior. According to Phil Zimbardo, psychology professor at Stanford, there are six different time perspectives; past positive, past negative, present hedonistic, present fatalistic, future oriented, future evangelic. Past positive means you remember positives from your past while past negative means you remember negatives. Present hedonistic means you live for sensation and gratification now, while present fatalistic means you believe you are fated and have no control over the direction of you life. If your future oriented that means that you can resist temptation and can set goals for life long success. Future evangelic only applies to religious people who believe that life starts after the death of the body. The best part of these time perspectives is that you can have more than one. Zimbardo suggest that the best way to live is to have little to no past-negative, and present fatalistic while having high past positive and moderate levels of present hedonism and future orientation (future evangelic doesn't matter in this case). Past negative and present fatalistic are both associated with negative social and emotional responses such as anxiety, depression, etc. Past positive correlates with good emotions and have many health benefits. Future orientation is related to goal setting and success. This is also amplified by a school settings that focus on future oriented learning. Present hedonism allows people to live in the moment. Even though present hedonism can lead to "pleasure seeking" it is very important in keeping track of how your body is feeling. I took the perspective inventory on Zimbardo's website ( http://www.thetimeparadox.com/zimbardo-time-perspective-inventory/ ). According to this short questionnaire I have high levels of present hedonism and past negative, moderate levels of future orientation, with little to no past positive or present fatalistic. For me this was very eye opening. I generally don't like living in the past because I always feel that trying to relive an experience is futile. I would have never thought that thinking that way would have a affect on my health. My focus now is going to be trying to create a part of myself that is positive about the past because there is so much good that I have experienced. Most people in the college setting or future oriented, but I suggest you take the inventory yourself and see how your time perspective affects you

Laika perspektīva (Time perspective)

Jēdzienu laika perspektīva piedāvāja Kurts Levins, kurš definēja to kā “indivīda priekšstatu kopumu par viņa psiholoģisko nākotni un psiholoģisko pagātni konkrētā brīdī” (Lewin, 1951, 222). Tas atspoguļo psiholoģiskā laika atšķirību no fiziskā laika, kuru atzīmēja Viljams Džeimss (James, 1891/1952). Ja vienkāršāko fiziskā laika struktūru sniedz dalījums pagātnē un nākotnē, ar tagadni kā atskaites punktu, tad indivīda priekšstati par katru laika plūsmas daļu vienmēr ir pārstāvēti tagadnē.

Laika perspektīvas pētījumos tiek izmantoti vairāki mainīgie lielumi, kas raksturo laika perspektīvu un tiek uzskatīti par šī konstrukta sastāvdaļām:

Laika perspektīvas saturs, kuru veido laika perspektīvas objekti (Nuttin & Lens, 1985). Laika perspektīvas saturs tiek analizēts gan kvalitatīvi, gan kvantitatīvi.

Orientācija laikā tiek saistīta ar pagātnes, tagadnes vai nākotnes objektu dominēšanu laika perspektīvā (Nuttin & Lens, 1985), kas ietekmē indivīda orientāciju notiekošajās izmaiņās, notikumu atcerēšanos un saistību veidošanos starp notikumiem (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999).

Emocionālā attieksme pret laiku, kuru veido pozitīva vai negatīva attieksme pret pagātni, tagadni un nākotni (Nuttin & Lens, 1985).

Viena no populārākām laika perspektīvas izpētes metodēm ir „Zimbardo laika perspektīvas aptauja” (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999).
