Traveling in Time

Traveling in Time

.. ..These notions were derived from lucid dreaming and are intended to promote thought only....

.. ..A 'being', by definition, is a traveler in time. From the 'A' to the 'e' in the last sentence, you moved forward in linear time to garner meaning from the symbols. 'Being' is to experience in sequentiality; pure-consciousness is to experience in simultaneity Every instant experienced as a 'being' is a decision of what to do, most of these decisions are made by the soul in an innate fashion...but a daily handful are made by the ego-self ...and it is these that comprise the motions of the life of a 'being'...of you. Each instant is simply 'you' placing a frame into the movie that is what you now see yourself to be. Every possible motion that you might make is already known in the timelessness of the ALL-Consciousness. 'Time' is the connection point between Universes...the Universe of the 'then' and the Universe of the 'now'. You are confronted at every instant with the enormity of 'all-possibility' and so the essence of your life is the totality of the moment to moment 'decisions' of what Universes to visit. Each 'soul' experiences every possible decision and expression in the endless replaying of each corporeal life. We, acting as independent sentient consciousness, are the answers to the 'what if's' pondered by the whole. What happens in the story of each life is of far less consequence then the motivations for each choice made by the ego-self. Time, therefore, is a river flowing between the infinity of the all-possible...of all possible Universes to see... with you as the guardian and the meander-maker of the river bank. ....

.. ..Infinite movement is exactly equal to no movement at all; for there is no need. This is the loop that constitutes the illusion; the illusion of space and time and form. Infinite is the same as zero. This is most easily illustrated through the concept of velocity. The greater the maximum allowable velocity (light 'speed'), the larger the harboring Universe. However, as soon as your velocity becomes 'infinitely' fast, you no longer need to travel; you are already there. There is no need to travel because there is no 'between'. ....

.. ..Consciousness is 'light'. Light that is unlimited in its true form; it is infinite. It is the 'all-essence'...but its knowing of itself is established by the formation of illusions of limitation; divine daydreams of the many 'what if's'. Time is the necessary byproduct of 'limitation'; indeed it is the fundamental first form of limitation. Light, in its natural illimitable state of expression, exists in concurrence and in simultaneity with all other light; all harmoniously existing in the same 'space'...in essence it has unlimited velocity ...or, if you prefer, no need for velocity at all. When a maximum velocity is considered, light is then made separate from all other light by the 'between' thus formed. Consciousness is 'slowed' and given boundary and thus necessarily forms space within which it may exist. Time may be defined as the experiential moments required to cross the 'between' at any known velocity. But time is also a function of the consciousness of the perceiver. Be you mayfly, human or ancient pine your perception of any experience is 'known' by the vibrational attunement of your current expression of consciousness; each experiences a 'moment' differently. Indeed, there is consciousness in all things with the vibration of that consciousness slowing as its 'life-span' expands and its interactivity decreases. The 'life-span' of helium, lets say, is precisely equivalent to the life-span of the harboring Universe; it is indeed a component of the 'being' that is the Universe itself. Its 'life', if you will, is experiential but it is passive consciousness; silent awareness. It is the totality of the small and endlessly multitudinous components of passive consciousness that, when placed together into an interactive system, erupt into sentience. The Universe is alive and ponders itself, although the nature of that conscious thought would be alien to us. We, in a sense are the vehicle by which the Universe understands itself in much the same way that the Universe(s) (and 'Us' by extension) are vehicles by which the All-consciousness may understand ITself. ....

.. ..The concept of 'mass' is merely the break on the vehicle of light. Mass is directly related to velocity. The faster you travel, the more mass you have. Once you reach light speed, your mass becomes infinite. It becomes, therefore, zero; singularity… and the Universe morphs from 'thing' to its true nature…a thought in timelessness. The velocity of light is altered by changing its relationship to mass. The curvature of space is made greater as the point of singularity is decreased. If infinite mass was associated with 60 mph as opposed to 186,000 mps, then you could climb into your Buick and drive into the lap of God.....

Can we travel back in time? Well, yes…in a way. Time always moves forward, even when it moves backward. If I walk halfway to the store and then turn around and come back, I am still moving forward even though I am going back across the same space that I traveled. If I decide, and discover how, to go back in time to 1946, say to kill my Grandmother (a horrifying thought), my thought and motion will move me forward into another Universe; a Universe precisely identical in linear history to the Universe I departed from on my journey…but in 1946. Indeed, for all intents and purposes, I will be in my past at the moment of my arrival but the introduction of "me" into the Universe at that moment causes this Universe to veer off and become its own reality. Thus, I will find myself as a stowaway from the 'what might happen', but this Universe will not play out as did the Universe of my memory and so my knowledge of what stocks to buy and what places to avoid may or may not be of benefit to me. I will, presumably, then carry out my evil plan and kill my Grandmother and I will not be born…in my new Universe. I will live out my days in witness to a world that took place without me as a youth. The originating Universe, on the other hand, will go on its merry way, unaffected, but fascinated by my mysterious disappearance. Paradoxes are merely 'what ifs' disallowed the 'why'.....

Time and space are timeless thought dissected. There is no need to travel back in time to experience an event from a different perspective because we were always destined to do that. The essence of what we are behind the guise is enormous beyond physical comprehension. We are far more than travelers in time. We are far more then helpless leafs trapped in the eddy's and currents of its stream. We are the leaf, the water and the current...all. Time is merely the stage of the play of "Us". We are the unfolder of the drama; pure love pondering the otherwise. ....
