When There's No Such Thing as Linear Time
We use time to make sense of things
One of the most revolutionary concepts that we learned in the 20th century is that time is not a universal measurement.
The above is a statement from Science Alert — read the full article HERE.
“Time” is really an infinite moment as an expansion within space-time.
If we switch off our ways of thinking about calendar months and years and clock time, we can think about our EXPERIENCES or Moments in space-time as:
Then
Now
Later
Soon
Before
When the leaves fall
When it’s hot
These are Moments or Experiences within the Infinite Moment, or everything occurring at once in Space-time, i.e. in the 4th Dimension and higher dimensions.
According to Einstein’s work:
Space and time, as physical constructs, have to be combined into a mathematical/physical entity called ‘ space-time’, because the equations of relativity show that both the space and time coordinates of any event must get mixed together by the mathematics, in order to accurately describe what we see.
Because space consists of 3 dimensions, and time is 1-dimensional, space-time must, therefore, be a 4-dimensional object.
It is believed to be a ‘continuum’ because so far as we know, there are no missing points in space or instants in time, and both can be subdivided without any apparent limit in size or duration.
So, physicists now routinely consider our world to be embedded in this 4-dimensional Space-Time continuum, and all events, places, moments in history, actions and so on are described in terms of their location in Space-Time.
Space-time does not evolve, it simply exists. When we examine a particular object from the stand point of its space-time representation, every particle is located along its world-line.
This is a spaghetti-like line that stretches from the “past” to the “ future”, showing the spatial location of the particle at every instant in time.
This world-line does not change with time, but simply exists as a timeless object.
An excerpt from Stanford University’s website about Special Relativity.
People may quote biological processes as evidence that “time” exists, and say, “We age over time” haha.
But I believe that our idea of linear time is the context or backdrop we use in order to make sense of things. The Encyclopedia Britannica states:
Biological development is the progressive change in size, shape, and function during the life of an organism by which its genetic potentials are translated into functioning mature systems.
Yes, we go from being born to being toddlers, teenagers, adults and older people, over space-time (or over 4th dimensional space-time, which manifests, to us, as happenings over linear moments).
But biological growth is a matter of “ moments” of change in the space-time continuum, or a change of atoms and energy and space and frequency throughout space-time, in alignment with the current templates or blue-prints for biological processes.
We divide a cycle or rotation of the Sun around the Earth into 24 hours and call 12 hours the “day” and the other 12 hours the “night,” for convenience in working with these and communicating about them. The Sun moves around the Earth in a matrix of 4th dimensional space via moments.
So, What Is A Moment? A “moment” can be defined as a manifestation of Consciousness and Energy in form and motion. Non-living matter has consciousness and energy, just like you and I. Human beings have a different sort of consciousness to a rock or a star, but both a rock and star contain deva or an over-lighting intelligence/consciousness.
Think about “time” as being organising rays or experiences or processes radiating from one infinite field or Source.
“Time” is an organising principle or a mental way in which Moments or Experiences within the Infinite Moment are viewed or made sense of.
In fact, everything that happens is occurring at once in space-time, which DOES NOT mean that everything is fixed. It means that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions collectively determine what happens everywhere else in the World, and can and do change our personal and collective Moments, moment by moment.
You may ask:
“Aren’t the effects of what popular opinion calls “Linear Time” the same, more or less, as the effects and use of what you call “Moments within the Infinite Moment?”
My answer is Yes and No.
As a tool to help us navigate through Life (to plan and to do what we do optimally) yes, however one looks at TIME, we still do move and act and organise ourselves according to our biological clocks, i.e. according to day and night and to the Seasons (because they govern how our body functions and govern our plant-life which is part of the food-chain for human beings).
But as “masters of energy”, because everything is energy, we can dip into some moments, whether they are before or after, and we can somewhat interact or change our feelings and/or thoughts about them, focusing on the positive and on what is helpful for everyone and everything.
Our intuition or psychic senses help us to tune into “future” moments and into happenings at great distances to us. This is proof that “events” occur in the fabric of space and time. The only way someone can pick up information from the future is if it has already happened, according to our linear brain.
But its happening may not be fixed or predestined. Whether it happens or something else happens depends upon the web of human interaction around the globe.
Theoretical physicist Julian Babour has said:
Each Now is an arrangement of everything in the universe.
Our illusion of the past arises because each Now contains objects that appear as “records” or evidence in the brain.
An un-popular opinion:
There’s no such thing as Time, as we think it is.
My un-popular opinion is un-popular because human beings love certainty and absolutes and the known.
Realising that there are moments in a space-time continuum can be freeing.
If we think about time as “ timing” or running with the seasons and aligning with our needs and with our feelings and intuition, in order to achieve goals, then we may actually free ourselves from tying ourselves to unrealistic man-made timelines or time-frames.
If we understand that there is a vast field of possibilities within 4-dimensional space-time to act and thus achieve what we want personally and collectively, we can feel “free” to consciously choose positive and collaborative thoughts and actions to create the best version of our world for all. We have all the time in the world!
We each “follow” a world-line or a Timeline, and our timelines intersect at some nodes or points, so what we view or believe at any moment appears the same to some of us.
With Consciousness and the power of using energy wisely, we can, in a way, change some things that have happened (because what our mind focuses on does not have to be “real” or to have happened and the mind can be re-trained), and we can change things that are happening, and that will happen.
It all depends upon our perspectives. Events are movements of matter or living and non-living forms interacting with each other. What we perceive and believe about events in our lives, past, present, and future, is critical to how we manage our “time.”
When we resonate with there not being linear time per se, but resonate with an infinite field of possibilities and actual moments in a vast web or an interrelated Cosmos, we start to grasp our responsibility for connecting to what we want and to lessons learned.
Seeing time as a setting for events occurring in space helps us understand and navigate the natural progression of change and do what we can to best influence the web of life toward fulfilling our goals. Imagine yourself as the all-seeing eye, viewing everything on Earth happening at once and over “time.” Then realize that time is a measurement of change, and pledge to co-create the change that you want.
