K is hoping that the following does not read as a parenthetical piece of philosophy.
All science, philosophy, mathematics etc… foster on certain postulates. Time as we understand today is called ‘empirical/ transcendental time’. Time as man records is called ‘eternal or circular time’. K believes that everything which exists in nature has an aura, and therefore a frequency. Simultaneously, the cosmos/ space/ god/ conscience/ collective unconscious or whatever, responds and resonates its own frequency. All frequency is energy.
K understands that Time is eternal, often parallel and cyclical in nature; just like an orbit. Like an orbit it also briskly intersects other time zones at some point.
Our debate of doubt commences from the seed that reincarnation or past life is an absolute (either redundant or eternal, however still an absolute!). Our conditioning teaches us that human living is gauged and bound by time. Hence we have the concept of age, and what is deemed most appropriate in that age. Then when the cycle of life is over, we are supposedly reborn, or not reborn.
Notwithstanding this notion, K understands that ‘living is an act’. An act involving a premise and a conclusion, her nimble mind has yet to discover the details of those. What she has discovered is that this premise and conclusion are relative to the nature, capacity and clarity of each individual. We keep living till we have concluded the said task, reason for being or fulfilled our Karma.
(Karma as ancient scriptures record is the reason, the ventilator, ability that each person is born with to fulfill in his or her life. It is the search and the quest of every life. This continues as long as you have done the job, you were supposed to do, ignoring empirical time.)
However, if time is parallel and cyclical in nature; then so are living beings. To put is straight – All our lives, are running parallel to this life at any given point in time. And certain people including yogis, physicists, psychologists etc… have traveled into past life or out of the body into space or into another dimension to observe it and return with answers to their questions. Here an appropriate example would be of time travel machines. Traveling across empirical time is just like crossing your by lane, to reach the highway (eternal time).
When we speak of visions and of ‘the connection/ the vibe’ with another living being, we speak of a faint memory of an energy/ relationship/ soul that we shared with that being. Visions are often understood as ‘resurfacing’, when two orbits interact or when some part of the subconscious mind evokes a parallel action in another time, as a response to the frequency / energy shared – you see visions. It could be a vision that your rational mind may not fathom but you have summoned it.
The next question that Apple Wings asked was, ‘then why do people have no memories of these supposed relationships?’
The reason being that human conditioning is so consistent and hence has become so strong that sometimes it can become a part of your genetic code. All living is in ways like a math problem where we hold an incorrect equation as a premise and then go on to prove whether it can be right however we conclude with the premise being incorrect. Our folly being accepted and empirical time being degenerated.
Human development psychologists state that all children till they learn to speak have an inbuilt reserve of knowledge – knowledge of the eternal time. They have their sense of judgment, reasoning, goal setting, survival etc…. all in place. Learning works as unlearning for this child. Our education, structures, language, sense definitions - all delude the mind.
Though our lives, we are consistently learning an incorrect premise – be it calling the cat as a cat or grasping that money is the most powerful tool in this world, or worse, wanting to make history. French philosopher Derrida observes, ‘the relationship between the signifier (red) and the signified (anger) is arbitrary.’ We have learnt to define our senses, not discover them – we use them to define other objects which are already defined within the structure.
These are stale observations – and unfortunately our knowledge is formulated from them. Knowledge is what you gain when you let the ‘other’ speak – it could be an object, it could be a feeling, it could be a person. The sensations that you receive are your knowledge! This knowledge can not and should not be the same for every other being.
Try attempting this – let a cucumber tell you how it will taste the best. Now the act of eating a cucumber – is as we said an ‘act’. An act is often devoid of empirical time. And it is most ideal that we look at it as an act. Every thing we 'do' should become an act, ideally speaking.
Therefore, it does not matter what you have achieved in the ticking of the clock, it matters that you have experience and achieved what you were designed to achieve. As Gautam Buddha or Osho puts it - get your empirical senses out of the way - either by abstinence or by boredom from overindulgence - when the mind is cleared - the ability to respond to the eternal energy will get stronger and clearer. Once the tone is set - you shall know revise the knowledge you were born with, and locate the destination of your journey. A destination devoid of empirical time. The Gita asserts that until your Karma is unfulfilled, you shall return. The Gita also says that the seed is within you and it is left to you to locate it and foster its growth till you have borne the fruit of your desire.
Rhonda Bryne often states the same in simpler ways. Ways in which Quantum physics defines the form of energy and its merger into white noise.
Dear Apple Wings, I’ve tried to put it very simply, so am vaguely hoping that you have found your answer.
