    In this episode, Joe and Dustan discuss the concept of time and its perception. They explore the idea that time is a construct of the mind and that all we ever experience is the present moment. They delve into the impact of our attachment to past and future thoughts, and the potential for growth and change in the present moment. They also touch on the age of Aquarius, global consciousness, and the exponential growth of technology and connectivity.


    Takeaways:

    Our attachment to past and future thoughts can pull us out of the present moment and hinder our ability to fully participate in it.

    The age of Aquarius represents a shift towards a more spiritual, holistic way of living and an awakening of global consciousness.

    The exponential growth of technology and connectivity has created new opportunities for collective thinking and change.
