Time Dimensions and the Subjective Experience of Time

Abstract

Time is the currency of life, the medium through which we find life both meaningful and enjoyable. However, time is not objective reality but rather subjective experience. Objective clock time is merely a reification or quantification of inner subjective time. Nine time dimensions are outlined and compared as they relate to temporal authenticity and the subjective experience of time. Adefinition of temporal authenticity is developed and the importance of balancing one's time spectrum is also discussed.
