On Time

Much time has passed since I last posted here. Time, that elusive ever-present non-existent entity, is something that has fascinated we humans for thousands of years. All of my life can certainly be measured in our version of time--the linear days/months/years from one's birth to the present. Yet as I have been pursuing the greater ideas of reality, the concept of time has shifted, skewed, and twisted and has left me grasping at some way to understand--really understand time's place in the universe.

Back in the post "There is no going back" I did write a bit about time--how the present is ground zero and the past and future emanate from it. I felt moments of clarity when contemplating all of this--bright spots of clear sky--and yet I still strive to understand more--to keep the clouds away. SO I thought I would share some recent reading about time from an old-ish source--Carla Rueckert's channeling from 1973. (Check out the link--it is only two pages long.)

The entities find our narrow windows of perception amusing, (I am sure there is much more about our behavior that sends them reeling) but only because they know very well the limitations of our little Earth reality- they have lived it in the long distant "past". No matter, I like that they are willing to take "time" to explain their greater understanding and experience of the field of time.  

Our scientists have discovered the plasticity of time. I have been churning my way through physicist Thomas Campbell's Theory of Everything--a trilogy (the culmination of thirty years of study and exploration) unifying philosophy, physics, and metaphysics. You can imagine how juicy this work is! Ok it is written from a scientific point of view (which translates to slow progress) but it is oh so content-dense.

Campbell theorizes that our reality, including our perception of time, is digital. He proposes our universe can be likened to a very big computer simulation that can be paused, rewound, and fast-forwarded by the operating system, and can be explored by us, via intent and desire. A lot of what Campbell writes makes sense to me--and is a more concise description of our reality than the channeled info can provide. This, because the Big TOE is written from within our reality as opposed to the channeled info whose source is outside it.


But this theoretical information is only for those who hunger for answers, and Campbell reiterates time and again that you must have an open mind, maintain a skeptical nature, and learn from your own experience. Which means you must take the time to think things through, to venture into unknown waters, and get your feet wet within the metaphysical realms. This is not for everyone. 

Meditation is the first step in the process for those who are uninitiated. I have begun the practice of regular meditation and have found it a challenge, but one that is worth pursuing. I do want some of my own answers--answers gained through experience of the great beyond. Only when we can keep the head noise at bay, will we be aware of the greater possibilities for connection outside of our "normal" plane of existence. Focus, always the bane of my years, is a valuable tool for gaining this access. I would like to share my experiences and will do so in the upcoming days. 

In the meantime, if anyone would like to share their meditation experiences, rituals, dos and donts, I welcome the input. As with everything, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another, but a community is bound to be supportive at the very least.
