there are only two ways that us english speakers perceive time and I am going to ask you a question right now so that you can find out which one you are.

If I tell you that Wednesday's noon meeting has been moved forward by two hours.

Do you think it is at two PM or at 10 a.m. If you think it's at two PM, that means you have the ego moving perspective of time.

You see yourself as moving forward through time.

If you think the meetings now at 10 a.m. That means you have the time moving perspective of time.

You see yourself as stagnant and as time moving forward through you as if you're standing in a stream and almost like time is flowing through you.

 Another example, if you said two PM, that means that you're excited to get to the holidays, whereas if you said 10 a.m. That means that you are excited for the holidays.
