Ah the question of time...

Here's an interesting- food for thought - short article on the shifting paradigms in science re Time.  Written by a 30-something with a great mind, imo.

A few snippets.

Up until now, we’ve considered time as fundamental in our existence. Yet, recent findings literally turn this idea on its head.
...
Along the way, I discussed a popular idea some theoretical physicists believe — that time is an illusion. And, they have some pretty strong arguments.
...
On the surface, the existence of time appears obvious. After all, humans divided it into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Yet, all of that is just various measurements of the planet’s rotation around the Sun. For instance, day on Jupiter is a different length than a day on Earth.

Time is constant, but it’s also relative. Our ability to measure it depends entirely on our location and access to the outside world. Check out this article about what happened to a guy’s sense of time after staying in a cave without clocks or sunlight for 40 days.
...
Rovelli argues that time is an illusion. In part two of his book, he proposes that instead of assuming particles and fields are the components of the world, perhaps the actual constituents driving reality are the events themselves.
...
[Rovelli] We assume particles collide because space and time feel eternal and unmoving, allowing for events to occur. Yet, is it possible we have it backward? Perhaps it is events that create space and time.
...
A growing number of physicists, working in different areas of the discipline with different approaches, are increasingly converging on a profound idea: space — and perhaps even time — is not fundamental. Instead, space and time may be ​emergent​: they could arise from the structure and behavior of more essential components of nature.
...
Consider this, let’s pretend the physicists are correct, that spacetime emerges from an accumulation of theoretical particles known as infatons. The result of which is what we experience as a seeming smooth reality. Then isn’t that sorta like Rovelli’s concept — that an accumulation of moments create what we experience as time? Which is still technically emergent, just in a different way than loop gravity theory

Carlo Rovelli is an interesting thinker and communicator. Very engaging, never cocky, full of energy. He sells his ideas better than most Boffins. Last I heard, he and his wife were living in Canada, beautiful property, riding out the lockdowns.


Edit, here’s him talking about physics, using time as his fulcrum.

Questions about time, especially "the philosophy of time" and "time travel" has been the most difficult thing for me to explore to my satisfaction.

Space is about form and time about movement. Events dont create space and time and space and time dont create events, because they are the same thing. I don't find their lines of thought very compelling.

Yes, time is an illusion in a way, but you have to experience presence/stillness to really understand. Otherwise, its hard to interpret what is meant by "illusion."

The seconds/ticks on the clock are just adding a beat to the movement of life that we observe. It is convenient and useful to create that scale for many things. Like alignment, so we both arrive at the meeting simultaneously. Then we can more easily walk to the beat of the same drummer It helps in ordering the movements of life as well as study them.

Obviously the ticks/seconds on the clock are arbitrary and have no reality.

None of these things are capturing the essence of the illusion. Feeling helps to prop up the illusion. Our feeling throughout the day changes. I feel tired, I feel energetic for example. On mushrooms I entered a perfectly balanced state. It became like 5am and the sun was soon to rise. That normal feeling of tiredness and others associated with that time of the day vanished. There was just presence and stillness. Me, the observer was free of the world of change. It was then clear that there were just movements/changes in the light show happening around me - the unmoved stillness at the eye of the storm.

So, the illusion is that this early morning is different from noon or evening. They all look and feel different. Its just like changing the pixels on your screen. That is all their is. So, if you call time, the rate of change of the pixels, then that is essentially what time is. But, instead of being unbiased and just seeing them as changing pixels, we get sucked into what those patterns mean and how they feel. And that is where we start adding our own illusory ideas.

there are no such thing as particles. That would mean there is separation. They are vortices creating concentrations and differences of pressure. So, yes that can all add up to particles in the macro world. But, we can't keep that view in the quantum. It is misleading, and I wouldn't advise trying to understand time thru particles, if one is under the illusion of particles. lol

Why, as a species do we always resort to war?
It's uncomfortable and disturbing but everything seems to be a conflict. I mean we either do or do not but why we gotta fight about it?

[cannawizard]

are we at war with ourselves, each other, and the world around us because this is just nature/reality just acting accordingly; or is this state of humanity just part of the journey concerning the cycles? would you change the hurt and suffering of the current moment? or continue.. knowing the end was merely just another beginning, and what had to happen was part of the process all along?

Time exists only in our imagination. It was thought up in order

Thank you, Ron... that is a GREAT question, IMO.

I asked that same question and when I did, with true heart, I met my Daemon (...that had been knocking on my door for decades this lifetime).

Sir, just become it, and you will live there. Your stated will to experience comms with ‘the best’, opens you to nefarious influence, unless you first can walk that walk. In the meantime, better to minimize your ego-radiations. Just sayin’, and cheers.

For me, I have found that finding that still quiet place within, then open your heart to to what makes you feel the most loving flow of energy, and just stay with that for as long as you can. Try not to think of any agenda of why you are feeling love. Practicing that seems to make that pathway stronger and easier to find with regular practice.

Sometimes insights come, sometimes it is just soothing. When it feels right the loving energy can be sent out with the breath with thoughts of beauty and joy to other places and offered to heal, but never forced in anynway.

Trying to understand Time.

I remember in the 70s I bought a book on UFOs and there was the story of a man abducted on a spaceship. In a conversation with the alien abuctor, the aliean remarked " Time does not exist". I was impressed and thought that had to be a profound statement but I had no understanding of it. At that time there were very few abdctions and contactees and this statement about time only became more familiar decades after.

Nowadays we talk about timelines but I don't believe it because I think it is impossible to have branching in every possible action. There would be just too many timelines and this would make prophecizing impossible. I have some idea about its meaning when I liken it to tracks in a record. Time is forever existing. But I want to understand time better. Another seemingly possible fact is we can change the past, if we change the past, we change the present. This appears hard to grasp, but I somehow think it is to some extend true. Can someone enlighten me on these questions?

Time is sort of illusion.

Most of people cannot change the present in their hands. Changing the past is only in sci-fi.

Sometime the answer will present itself if we just look at the other direction.

Sometime it is not about the most possible way, it is the about the meaningful way.

Just a comment based on an observation - Interesting how this thread (including some of my own contributions) has evolved to become more about proposed answers and, to my dismay, definitive pronouncements.

This is why I strive to share my own views in ways where they are received as ideas, perhaps suggestions of possibility or simply, my opinion. I don't always do so even to my own satisfaction. But I continue to strive so as not to come across as some "knower of all things" (which implies, "if you don't share my view, you don't know squat").

I long for conversations where the participants explore possibility, wonderment in ways that don't shut down the conversations. I may have found the wrong planet. Oh, well.

Sorry Chester, I don't know what else to tell you. There's nothing more definitive than spiritual reality. That's not an opinion, or a guess, it is as you would say a definitive pronouncement. Completely. When you've seen and experienced the absolute reality of it first hand (I have), then you just know, and everything else is tossed out the window. I definitely get it that most people haven't seen and don't know, so there lies the conundrum. How do you communicate this reality?

There are so many case studies of, for example, near death experiences and out of body experiences. That's a fine place to begin one's exploration of the 'greater reality'. You can find a lot of these stories in multiple threads e.g. here, or here (read this amazing story), and here, where people report virtually identical recollections of existence beyond the veil. See Dr Michael Newton's books, or Raymond Moody's. They spent a lifetime vigorously investigating life after death.

Here's a good example of one, called 'Proof of Heaven', which is the experience of a neurosurgeon, and a life long sceptic. The real kicker comes at the end, so watch to the end.

Believe these or don't believe them I make no judgment, it's entirely up to you. But when you stand back, and see all these cases stack up (decades and decades of them reported by thousands and thousands of people from different cultures all over the world), it's impossible for even the most sceptical mind to ignore.

The OP question can make a person ponder. It would have to be about a contact experience from 2009 to 2017. But left some unanswered questions and was ready and willing to go as deep as they would allow yet they did not go as far. And by this time in the contact there was trust and felt safe and knew they existed. Today still hope to get answers and if they will return or if I could go explore with them and wonder if I did something wrong to not get those answers.

Hi Ron, maybe the answer to that is to try to be a pure, wise and loving energy yourself, as often as you can. As we give out energetically, we attract back in abundance. If your energy signature (vibration) is wise, loving and positive, then you will quickly attract a person or a beautiful event, that mirrors those qualities.

So where then in 'your reality' fit all the experiences experienced by others that do not fall within the paradigm you are insinuating? Are those people just delusional?

Or, could they be experiencing an aspect of reality you have yet to experience or all the testimonies you have listened to haven't described?

My question is:

Why is the black magic starting to fail?

IMHO the black magic IS failing for some reason. But why?

The cracks are appearing very rapidly and my favorite euphunism is the "MASKS ARE COMING OFF!"

I saw Trudeau drop his mask and Zelensky and now many others, but why now and why all at once?

It is literally blowing my mind how quickly secrets which were buried for decades are being revealed.

Pooooffff!!

It's all a production, complete with actors, comedians, stage hand, roadies, you name it, it's there.

So why did the magic fail?
I saw my niece today and she said something which absolutely floored me. (This is the little, goofy red-haired kid that was rolling down a grassy hill the first time I met her and now years later...)

She said that because people were quarantined for two years, they were quiet and alone more, and made closer contact with their guiding spirits; hence now they have better discernment.

This hit me as especially profound and I wanted to share it.

Perhaps this is a silent, completely unexpected blow-back that is happening to expose the sorcerers for what they really are.

to control us There is only daylight and darkness.

If I am understanding you correctly,
Interactions can not cause space or time.

Space is. Time is not imho.

if "time" exists only in our "imaginations", then one could state the same with "space", since both could also reside as part of the mind/"thoughts"---imagination.
(you see we manifest within "now"--this very moment "(spatial cognizance)", this thing some of us call a "dream", others "matrix" and others "reality, and on and on--- have time and space, that are underlying principles/"basis" you have to adhere to since you are here, ..unless you are trying to imply something else entirely in-regards to time and space)

to say there is only something, like daylight and darkness, are you not limiting yourself to only adhere to such constructs, why put such barriers to self if this is all imagined/ or parts of it is?

how does one define space and time at this current junction, when humanity is constantly moving forward, ever changing in our understanding/grasp/perception of such concepts, would it not be too premature to state anything at this moment of man's progression as definite certainties/proofs instead of just recognition of steps to the eventuality of static "answers"~

(thank you for this interaction, i appreciate your ideas, its always good to read someone else's take on things of this reality)

--this video clip from a movie is another take on the construct/subject of "time"-- its just a movie clip, not a promotion of the forces hidden behind the esoteric/occult..
