On Time...

And are our lives, outside of the timestream we know, simply as pictures on a wall? transcend the 4th dimension, and leave behind 'time' as a flowing entity. If you did so, wouldn't your past and future just be different sections of the mural that you are? The mural of your life: all it's stages, decisions, and relationships.
Given that 11 dimensions are assumed by science, it is fair to say, perhaps, that we must understand that, from some perspective probable in the universe, our past is not 'past' and our future is not 'future.' As if our lives were flipbooks, the future already exists, it is simply on another page, blocked from your perception. Similarly, all the past is moments frozen in another place.
Indeed, when we contemplate the 4th dimension with the life-as-a-flip book metaphor, one may see that it is not that time flows past 'immobile' perception, but that perception flows through immobile time. (Time begins to seem as a metaphysical type of soup)
As the pages of the book are pushed by, our eyes, perceiving, see different pictures before them, and imagine seconds, and pasts and futures.
How much better off we'd be better off wondering what the pages are made of! All sorts of wonderful questions arise when one begins to try and imagine time from an outsider's perspective.
(One begins to re-think free will vs. fate... one begins to ask: If we are light light painted in space-time, who painted us?)

Everything you ask and say and ponder and point to - is, as always, mind-expanding, Alan.
Sometimes we remind ourselves - we can ground even while flying in space…or flowing in water!
have missed you! good to see you again. hugs
“it is not that time flows past 'immobile' perception, but that perception flows through immobile time.”
…exaaaaaactly!!! :)
There's more than meets the Eye (LOL, get it? 'Course this won't seem as funny when I change my Eye-con, hahahhaha)
Missed you, but that was just a blink of the Eye (giggle)…
Love You now and…well…NOW :-D
Hey res, here's a joke. what's the difference between me and a catus?
Eye'm not being a catus. (har har?)
Hi Nicole and Meenakshi, thanks!
What's a catus? Is that anything like a cactus? :-P
Well, heck, I'm not being a catus either. :-D
It's sooooo hard for the human mind to glimpse what experience would be like, outside of linear time. I love your two metaphors, they are really good. (But of course they are good! Who's writing???!!!)
And yes, what are the pages made of? A right fine question !!!!!!
Echo that you have been missed, and delighted to see you again!! More, more!!!
Hugs, OM Bastet
Hi A!
Great blog. Love “what the pages are made of” Superb question.
Do you think it could be love?
It seems funny to me that we humans are always putting limits on things…beginning, ending, birth, death, UNI-verse, 11 dimensions, time. The concept of limits, beginnings and endings in the big picture seems so strange to me…
this is how much we understand > .
and that is ok…as long as we love.
Hope all is well,
Miss ya,
Janie
PS I hope you are enjoying that little baby (:
