T-i-i-i-i-i-me Is on My Side
If you think you’ve got your life under control — if you think you truly know what’s going on — then this message probably isn’t for you. Especially if you’re one of those folks who’s got something like a five-year plan.
But if you’re one of those who has been doing a lot of head-shaking lately, I’ve have something for you that might put some of your confusion into perspective. Or add to it.
First, let me say that you probably can’t understand this cognitively, but perhaps you will intuitively. Like Columbus telling people the earth is round...most people thought he was off his tree. Similarly, we are at a point in evolving our consciousness that we don’t have the faculties to understand what’s really going on...yet.
We start with the ridiculous but essential premise time is only a figment of our imagination. What nonsense, you say. Of course there’s time. This commentary runs about three minutes. I’ll have dinner ready for my wife at 6:30. Hercule Poirot is on at seven. Fine. But listen to this.
My friend Ken Murray and his wife were shopping early one evening. They had left their three daughters at home. Just as they had finished putting the groceries on the check-out stand, Ken and his wife suddenly looked at each other and said, There’s something wrong with the girls. They dashed out of the supermarket, jumped in their truck and sped home. When they pulled up in front of their house ten minutes later, they heard screaming inside. They ran inside and discovered one of the girls in flames. She had been standing in front of the fireplace and her nightgown had caught fire. Their daughter survived, but what’s fascinating about this story, is that she had caught fire only thirty seconds before Ken got to her. How did he know — how did both he and his wife know — at the same time, ten minutes earlier, that this would happen?
Folks, to me this is unassailable proof that the future can send information back to the present. Which means that the future exists simultaneously with the present, and thus with the past. Which means that all time exists only in our own minds. That everything has happened, is happening, and will happen all in the same moment.
But we can’t grasp this. It really is beyond our comprehension. At least beyond mine. I can understand the facts, I just don’t know how to integrate them with what I think I know.
This is part of what Robert Johnson refers to as the ability to hold paradox. To understand separate and apparently contradictory realities. Folks, it’s beyond rocket science and brain surgery, and it’s headed our way.
