That Time Problem??

You'd often see in textbooks and even in internet articles that common fact that clocks move at different rates, one up in space and one on Earth etc. But how can a mechanical clock move slower or quicker or time move slower or quicker, even as an educated person in science, I can't seem to fathom such a simple problem?

Plus, if time moves at different rates, and you go further and further into space, aren't you effectively heading into the future and likewise if time moved slower you'd be heading into a "Past" sense??
