Shambala is not the only place like this. There are many all over the world.

Even a computer game only loads the needed amount of data that the player needs in their use at any time. It comes back to the tree falling in the woods philosophical question.

We all know time flies when we are having fun.

As well as being content, evidently.

In my retirement years time seemed to be sliding by faster and faster while having my needs met and very content with my life's situation. It came to my attention that some research had shown that being more active made the days seem longer. That lead me to take on a daily active project and my conclusion is that more than being active is the need of having to make more and varied decisions in ones day seemed to be the main factor to making the passage of time seem greater.
