Time and space as a map of joint creation
June 18. 2009 An alternate view on
time
I just had a deep conversation with a friend of mine. She told me about
a problem she had that made her feel frustrated and angry. The problem was that
she had overbooked her calendar, because she saw a possibility for cheaper
plane tickets to a vacation in Spain the upcoming summer, but the problem was that
the home flight would be too late with regards to attend to some other arrangements
of importance to her. So when she called me she was caught up in the following
conversation with her self: ‘I feel stupid because I once again let
circumstances dictate my life rather than the idea I wanted to experience in
life. And why do I allow that to happen again and again’?
We had a really close conversation, where we were extremely present to
each other. At a point the conversation
reached a dead end, where I felt frustrated and that it was hopeless and I told
her that. And then she used the word ‘terrible’ to describe the upcoming
vacation as compared to her original intention on how she wanted her vacation
to be. And I wondered (I told her) why it would be terrible, and she saw that
she was about to create a really bad experience for her self by making this
announcement. Then I was about to say something to her, but it suddenly went
blank inside. I told her that and she said that that was exactly what happened
for her, a big empty space where she could put in what she wanted, and she just
did, flowers, love and being present. On the more concrete plane she found the
solution that she could change the date of the flight home to 3 days earlier
even though she might have to pay a little bit more for the rescheduled
tickets, and then solve the problem.
Then I asked her to help me solve a problem.
My problem was that I found my purpose here in life as described in the
experience ‘AN epiphany’ which in one word can be described as ‘Growth’
natural, spiritual and personal growth. I know that the outcome of one of my
first goals, to enter the house created June 12. Is certain, and that the financial framework
will be in place as well, but even with that certainty present I was still
worried about that I might run in to some low energy situations on my time line
in front of me before getting there. We talked a bit back and forth, and I said
I did not want these low energy situations to occur, because they were really
unnecessary to experience. She said something about that we as humans naturally
would encounter low energy areas, but I still held on to the view that these
situations was a waste of time, and she then told me that to tell about my
ideas it might be a good idea if I have lived the problems. Suddenly I realized
that she had used the words ‘low energy areas’ instead of ‘low energy situations’
and my subjective timeline started to spread out and be two dimensional instead
of just a line, and when seeing that I realized that when viewing my coming
experience like that, it was possible to choose the high energy experiences in
life instead of the low energy situations that I used to fear, and not being
able to avoid. So now I had an alternate view in time and a powerful tool to
create the experiences I want and maneuver between future (and past)
probabilities.
Different views on time and space
We
learn the clock in our childhood with its 24 hour and division into minutes and
seconds, and we have a tendency to view a second as the least time unit we
encounter, and we then seem to have a limited amount of seconds where we can
life in. If we only count the seconds on that timeline, our lives are short and
we will have to accomplish a lot within this short period.
Even
in seeing time as a line it is not true that we only have a limited amount of moments, because on such a time line there are an endless
amount of moments or points in time just between 15:01:01 and 15:01:02 so
basically time is endless as long as we live moment by moment rather than
second by second or minute by minute. When time is endless it does not really
matter which specific moment we live in, and we start living in the moment that
exists for us now.
The
problem we can have with time is then only a mental issue that often causes
stress, because we believe that we have to accomplish something that takes
seconds within a limited amount of seconds. When you first get this ‘moment by
moment’ understanding rather than ‘a specific amount of seconds’ understanding
of time instated in mind and habit you have really gotten a scope on eternity.
As I write this I can feel my own world expand endlessly, whilst I become fully
present.
In
the story from my own life I also told about the insight I got from my friend
where I suddenly saw my future as a two dimensional map of endless possible
futures spread out in front of me where I could choose which events I would
focus my energy in creating.
These
two ways of viewing time combined gives an amazing tool for creating reference
points for future value fulfillment. If there are an endless amount of moments
and endless possibilities you can choose from every moment, then it is possible
to live whatever life you want to live. This doesn’t mean that you have to plan
your whole life ahead. On the contrary, there is no need to plan anything
unless it involves meeting with other people in the consensual framework of
physicality. The idea of having calendars and clocks is just a creation of a
series of reference points originally based on the suns and the moons relative
position to the earth. That system of time is actually quite amazing. If we
stick to the idea that all is mind, and we all are specific conscious focus
points of mind that intersects with each other and in that intersection merge
and create new focus points, then to be able to choose what focus point to
intersect with instead of just merging by random is a creation of much fun. The
same goes for things in space used as points of reference for intersection.
This is rather abstract but imagine two native Americans making the following
deal before Columbus discovered the land of dreams: :when 3 full moon circles
has passed and the sun is on top of the heaven, then lets meet at the feet of
the nose mountain.
In
this deal of a meeting there are some rather visual reference points the two
native Americans will have to focus on when intersecting. If they do not have
these visual reference points before there eyes when 3 full moon circles has
passed and the sun is in top of the heaven, then it is not likely that the meet
because one of them could be at the lake in the southern forest whilst the
other could be standing in Grand canyon. For both of them the possibility of
standing anywhere on the map of possibilities is there, but it all depends on
there choices of focus.
In
the idea of matter, choosing to change visual reference points is a matter of moving
your physical body. In the realm of mind the moving of your body is a symbol of
changing your focus point to another point of reference, the way to do this can
in mind just as well be done by moving the map. In mind your can move from one
set of reference points to another just by moving your focus and you do not
have to walk from any distances to get to there. If we add the idea of ‘everything
is energy’ as a way of viewing the creations of mind, then we might add
intensity to the focus. The closer you get to the reference point where you
want to intersect, the higher the intensity of the reference points in relation
to the map of the environment you have.
Here
is a funny theory. The mapmakers of earlier times who came to new areas was
actually creating these areas while they where at it. The saw something from
their focus and in seeing it they spread out the idea of what they where seeing
to show to others with their map, and the others could see these newly created
areas just by changing focus in the way described on the map. Now here is the
point I am making. The mapmakers had a hand in creating certain reference
points, and they had their experience of the areas they intersected with that
they drew on their maps. Those who followed these map, met the same reference
points but adding new qualities to these areas by experiencing them from their point of focus. In that manner the world of today gets
more and more complex, because through our communication networks on this
planet, these reference points for human existence, every creation is easy
accessible, and every time we intersect with areas or each others it adds to
the experience, to the energy and the story attached to the reference points. New connections and intersections are made all
the time and remember that time seen as moments are endless. So in a way the
universe is unfolding from within the mind.
Before
thinking a lot about time I used to see time as a line with me standing in the
present, and past on either my left side or behind me and the future in front
of me or to my right side. In this other view on time I can see my self
standing in the middle of a creation where events are spread around me. The
events where my mark is set, but where I’m not presently standing, I can call
my experienced past and the events where my mark isn’t, I can call possible
events to experience. The mark I am talking, about is, that energy or that
focus point of the all, I am. That symbol of energy of the mind that can merge
with all other existing symbols of energy and add to events. In mind, I can
choose from any of these possibilities, even the events which have my mark on
it. IN that sense there is no need to talk about the future or the past, only
with regards to stories whether personal or joint like the world history.
Causality or ordering events in a story
As
a human in the specific cultural framework I live in today, I have learned to
see these events as a series of causal events where one event leads to another
in a seemingly logical way. Causality is only one way of arranging events of
the mind, and is part of the consensus frame work for conscious interaction as
is time and space. But when we view our self standing in the midst of a whole
area of events we can choose from and merge with, then it is also possible to
change the connections between the events. The connection between two events
does not have to be causal. In the story we tell about the experiences we
already have marked and merged with, we might only focus on the events we have
linked causally, and might actually have set our mark on a lot of other events
that can’t be linked causally with the story. As an example: What if your have
chosen to mark and merge with the event: ‘wining the lottery’ but haven’t
marked and merged with the event of getting a lottery ticket? Then in your
story the event winning the lottery does not exist because it has not been put
in to the idea of causality, and even though you might have experienced the
lottery winning event in one of the endless moments there are pr. Second then
this is still not the story you tell, and your story is the reference points
that other people relate to you and is merging with in the physical bandwidth.
This means that you haven’t won the lottery in the framework of consensus or
the physical bandwidth of consciousness even though you have merged with it.
(Your body is also a story in it self, or a map of the events you have chosen
to merge with).
Okay
writing this blew my view on my life wide open, I didn’t knew I was going to
write something like this, and I hope that the reader can get it, because it is
some pictures in my mind that I try to communicate but I’m not sure that I have
done that in a understandable manner.
I
can at least see that I have merged with the event of getting a whole new way
of seeing time, space and causality, and I will try to come up with some
practical guidelines for using this view in the process of creating you life or
rather creating the story you want to tell.
The
personal story can be seen as a series of reference points, where some of these
seems to be bare facts. Date of birth as an example is a reference point for
you entering the physical bandwidth as a separate entity.
You
date of birth is then a reference point for the beginning of your physical
existence as a breathing human being in a specific framework of time. (Your
time of conception is rarely celebrated but this can be seen as the beginning
of your physical existence but not yet separated from your mother). Birthdays
or any other date can be seen as land marks on a map of time and space. In the
historical framework it is placed on a line. On each point of the line alongside
with your own birthday, there are also all other events on earth taken place in
that given point on the line.
This
map is a joint creation between humans to ensure that we have established some
reference points where our own separate realities can meet for communication,
inspiration and joint creation.
There
are some other reference points that are important to this work. These are the
reference points that form our personalities in the social framework, and are
the description of our selves in relation to others. These reference points are often expressed as
identifications and expresses values either by stating what we are or what we
aren’t. The sentence ‘I am clumsy’ expresses a value of physical adjustment
where the ‘I’ in question is not fulfilling on the value of physical adjustment
to the environment. Often ‘clumsy’ is said with a fair amount of love, because
clumsy people often tend to be quite funny or charming like puppies and kittens,
so in many respects, clumsiness becomes a personality trait that also gives
something on the values of love and acceptance.
So
now we are going to the next step of creation and that is manifestation of what
you want to experience. To create the reference points in the physical
bandwidth that will give you the possibility to generate the emotional states
of intrinsic value in your whole living experience on a continuous basis.
