Time and Space

Though at one point these were intellectual theories and hunches I have sufficiently proved the things I'm writing here to myself. So it is possible for you to also prove these things to yourself in case these are your theories as well. However, to arrive in one lifetime at these experiences it might be necessary to follow all your hunches and intuitions every moment every day. One of my teachers said it takes one million correct decisions to attain final enlightenment and these one million correct decisions always come from living from one's heart in the form of a Heart mind so that one's mind becomes absolutely obedient to the teachings of the heart every moment. As one lives as a Heart mind everything becomes possible. It may or may not happen overnight depending upon what your soul has been doing for millions and billions of years already.

Time and space in my present experience is not solid in any way shape or form. So that the common wisdom of the common man on earth is incorrect and always has been. However, if you talk to someone who has studied particle physics and who thoroughly understands it, this person will tell you basically the following. For example, it is only a probability that any atom will be in any particular space and time on any given moment. Better said, this means that atoms in your body and mine go to other spaces and times and come back 24 hours a day. In fact this is true of all matter everywhere. So any actual scientific thought about anything being solid is an illusion only.

However, if one can just get past this without psychologically losing it because of all one's common sense notions of reality being shot with trillions of holes every second of every body and atom human or Earth or air or anything else, then one can begin then to move forward in understanding what I'm trying to say about all this. As you can see to understand all this stuff one must be very brave. Otherwise, one should continue to listen to fairy tales with one's children. (By the way, that's fun too!)

So, if one wants to understand more the way things actually are the following is helpful: Physicists often will tell you that at a particle physics level the physical universe function more like the inside of a great mind than anything else. It is as if a great mind is thinking about the physical universe and holding it in place with it's mind. So, if you get physicists saying things like this then you either have to believe they believe in God or that they think this is a better way to explain how the physical universe actually functions on a scientific and pragmatic level.

So, if I start from the point of view that a God (or higher intelligence possibly called Life or Nature) is imagining the physical universe and if this natural universe has made humans in it's image(at least consciousness wise) then it is our place to evolve into gods or Demi-gods somewhat like the Greek Pantheon. And looking at it from this point of view beings like Jesus and Buddha and many others came here to earth to demonstrate what human kind are actually capable of by example.

So, if they were our example to follow then we should study and move in their direction for their benefit, for our own benefit and for the benefit of all life everywhere.

So, understanding the science of particle physics helps us to get there by giving us hints at the true nature of the physical universe. And if the true nature of the physical universe is that it functions like a Great mind is holding it all like thoughts in a mind and this is how it actually operates. And if we were made in the likeness (in a microcosmic sense) of the being who holds the universe in it's His or Her or whatever's mind then we are destined to create universes of our own as evolving humans. And so we are every day.

However, looking at the universe and saying to oneself, "I only exist in this moment because I choose" and further "I also choose to exist thinking and doing whatever I choose to do every moment I continue to live". And "Without making this conscious choice to live each moment in whatever way I choose to life does not exist in my body anywhere."

So, given all this life is a conscious choice we make each and every instant. In other words we exist in time and space every moment only because we choose to.

Given this what we do with every moment is very important not only to us but to all life everywhere. Because whatever we do seems to affect all life in the past, present and future. This is true because both Time and Space are not solid and anything there is in any time or space is related to you and me in some way and therefore is a natural part of us.
