 The past is gone Of the scriptures written, it's as if time is linear and the written part is the past tense or the sense of being over and that's the whole trick So you could say that the only frustration and that's exactly what the ego is The ego is saying, no it's not over and it can be changed The world can be changed, people can be changed personalities can change It's a very strong emphasis at changing the form and this is more of an easing back into the observer self or the witness self You might have heard of Akashic records because there's a lot of teachings that involve the Akashic records and it's implied that you can literally read the Akashic records and oftentimes they only let you go so far into the future of reading But when we look at Nostradamus and we look at different prophets and seers and so on and so forth it seemed to forecast things, years or decades or even centuries before they actually occurred with pretty strong accuracy that again implies that they weren't reading something that hadn't really happened It seems that way in the near time that they were just reading almost like a blueprint of the book of life or of what was already there So that is the biggest contradiction to the way that the sleeping mind perceives the world, relationships and time You were there in Loomis where we showed time travelers, wife and we showed a Star Trek episode and we have so many of those kind of time metaphysical episodes It seems like each time we watch one it just loosens something a little more and gives us a little bit different perspective on time And for me I know you do a lot of traveling and when I'm traveling across time zones and date lines and things it starts to feel more and more like a construct than a set reality When the mind is asleep it has this perception of the passage of time and it seems to go in one direction and it seems to be a certain way and then when you start getting into the joy of being absorbed in something you can actually seem to lose track of the passage of time or one time I told this story a lot that when I was flying up to like Brisbane or Gold Coast, Australia and I was sitting next to a very happy man we didn't say where to do each other the whole flight and just when the plane is descending to come down and touch down on the runway he just looks over me with a big smile on his face an Aussie accent and he said, isn't time a funny thing? and he launches into talking about time and how funny it is and I said, yeah, it really is funny and he was telling me this whole story about his cell phone plane I guess he was living between two different states in the New South Wales and the next one and basically he had a cell phone plan and the plan had different coverages and different options depending on what zone you were in and the back of his house was in one zone and in front of his house was another zone and he was right on the line and one of the zones was, you know, you had free calls and the other one was not free calls at all so I think between having some calls in his back porch and his front couch or something there was some astronomical cell phone bill and he proceeded to tell me the whole story just as we were touching down and rolling on the runway and I was just laughing and he was laughing and he was like, this is absurd this is absolutely absurd and I could really, that's been my whole experience of it the absurdity of time, of living based on time of living based on these outcomes you're late, guilty, guilty you're early, guilty, guilty I mean, you know, it's like, catch it, every way you play it there's guilt and then there's this beautiful presence in us it's like that Chicago song time, does anybody really know what time it is? care, does anybody really care? about time, you know, it's like, oh yeah that's why we like the vibe of that song it's like, yeah, yeah, it's a nag that time is a drag you know, it's just this pressure associated with it and the script is written is just really an emphasis that time is the past and really the point of coming to that understanding is that first of all that it's gone and second of all is that you can't really change it you can't really change anything of time and once you begin to grasp that or of a full awareness, then you cease to try you cease to play the game of trying to fix it I mean, there's a lot of metaphors in the Course and before the Course came Jesus told Helen Shackman that people were being called from all over to play their part in a celestial speed-up he called it and I've had that question where I go around and go, why would Jesus say that to her? why would he even use that term celestial speed-up as a way of like saving time or speeding up something when it's an illusion, how can you speed up an illusion? and that's supposed to be the thing that he used to kind of tell her of the urgency of accepting her part to play her part and take down this Course but again, it's all metaphors of the Spirit facing the mind and giving the mind what it can handle based on what it believes she was a research psychologist she didn't really believe in past lives not from a sense that knowing that it's all time is simultaneous but even within that construct she just didn't have room in her mind to even open to that stepping stone she was a research psychologist at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City and he reached her with the celestial speed-up thing so it's not something that you really can grasp until you're really ready for it I like to show a lot of time movies I love showing like quantum physics movies whether it's actually quantum physics teachings or even better quantum physics dramas that show you the kind of demonstrate or take you in to the experience through the movie and I could get into talking about quantum physics, waves and particles and the idea of just even a superposition that basically there's all these potential outcomes and that we're really dealing with potentiality and then what we call as specific outcomes and situations like, here's a room a spacious room with some candles burning some guy in a blue shirt up there rattling away and a bunch of lights and I'm sitting around with 30-some people whatever, that's an outcome that's like an outcome pulled out of all the potential outcomes that there could seem to be this is one and this is just determined by belief projection makes perception if you spot it, you got it if you believe it, you perceive it you have to have a limiting set of beliefs to say, I'm in a room even that's just a statement that's based on a lot of beliefs yeah, you're in a room if you believe you're a body you're in a room how many teachers of God does it take to save the world? Jesus says there's one one teacher of God is what's needed to save the world but he qualifies it, he says that teacher of God is not a body or in a body interesting qualification there not a body or in a body not a soul in a body it's like he's saying you have to delocate here you can't be the holy Christ and be limited by time-space coordinates you can't be inside a cosmos of illusion occupying some coordinates and be everything that there is it's going to have to be one or the other are you the quantum field to do a specific outcome of belief which is very specific so you see how that starts to take the whole script is written and the whole time thing and put it into looking more at mind and consciousness and kind of just by even having that discussion starts to say, you can feel your mind start to expand maybe I'm not so limited after all I bought that ticket that was the song towards Michael I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again back to the quantum field why do I find it hard to write the next line oh I want the truth to be said da da da da I know this it's a quantum song much is too interesting why do I find it hard to write the next line oh maybe there isn't one maybe there is one maybe I'm vastness and wholeness so that's what's fun about going through this awakening experience it's highly practical the spirit deals with what you believe and what you perceive and it is eminently just vast where you finally find yourself you find yourself delocated and you find yourself disidentified from the world and you don't find yourself disoriented anymore you're just everything that there is that's not a sense of confusion or disorientation that's a sense of glory somebody says how are you doing I'm all that there is wow I was like I asked that sounds pretty big but that's the feeling there's a majesty to it there's a sense of freedom to it there's a sense of glory there's not that sense of lack of limitation and a lot of us have touched on that in meditation from time to time or we've had some experiences that have kind of seen they kind of catch us off guard like whoa, what was that wow, what was that but it's just the ego looking upon it going what was that it wasn't the spirit the spirit is that vastness so yeah, I keep showing quantum movies quantum leap episodes
