Steve, I appreciate the delicate & respectful way you’ve structured your language as you approach this deep topic. It’s funny, how with our clocks & caldars, we’re so sure we know everything about time, when we actually know precious little.
No matter where one is within time — & it’s relative, so we must have an individual or point to form the comparison — it is ever & always just now. Be it 1542 or 2227, to the one experiencing that, it is Now. It is also within this Now that we do our comparisons, looking ahead or behind our self as reference point.
There’s a challenge to the discussion in that it uses both thought & language, which is linear, to view something that may not be limited in those ways. Language & thought form the maps for our explorations — yet they are not & cannot be the actual territory we seek to define.
Just as our senses perceive the merest slice of known scientific “reality,” the broader spectrum currently viewable via technology, thought & mind are likewise limited to but a slice of what’s available. We don’t discover this until we find our way deeper, much deeper within — where the words get even dicier as they seek to convey what is experienced, there.
What if we have access to deeper layers or levels of being on which we discover ourselves to be multidimensional? What if science is one day able to approach the discoveries, the experiences of those like Buddha? What if they’re not any sort of mysticism, mumbo-jumbo, or religion, but actual aspects of the greater reality?
There is sufficient direct ET contact in our day to establish its validity. Not to say these beings are wiser than us, but many of them are resident at higher frequencies, on higher dimensions, which all co-exist here, akin to Russian dolls. What some of them share is that time is not the limiting factor we take it to be. Just as we travel the highways through space, they travel those of time, having easy access to whatever period they desire to view.
I know — it boggles the mind. Yet what if our mind is not the deepest aspect of us — what then? Ancient sages & philosophers have pointed us to these deeper regions of potential awareness, largely not accessed due to our stubborn presence within 3D mind.
Play around in the mind as we like, yet there are deeper realms of exploration available, where time is seen & experienced differently. These deeper levels of being are the actual territory the maps attempt to lay out.
