LINEAR TIME EXPERIENCESTHE FUTURE CREATING THE PRESENTOne of the recurring invitations given by those who appear to be in the know, is the invitation to examine ones beliefs and ones belief system as a means of creating more of the life one would prefer to have.The contention is that the belief system is the underlying cause of our emotions and the reality we experience. Based on this idea many in the metaphysical community have sought to discover and change their underlying beliefs and belief systems. Out of this objective many processes, methods, exercises and guided meditations have been developed and promoted. All of them seek to discover the specific beliefs and re-create them into a form that empowers and supports the preferred life and reality. Almost all of them however have tended to explore the past based on the idea that the beliefs must have been formed previously. This is the linear time track idea of cause and effect - i.e. a cause (belief, decision, postulate, conclusion, consideration or idea) that occurred in the past, is not effecting the present and is creating some unprefered reality or condition. More specifically one experienced a happening that one judged to be bad. This could be anything from a loved one leaving to a tiger eating ones current meat body. In each of these cases one refused, or decided not, to comfortably observe and confront the incident that was occurring. One felt ill-at-ease (diseased) concerning the occurrence. In fact there are those who would consider it ridiculous to even consider that one could be comfortable with a loved one leaving or a tigers consumption of ones currently favorite body. Be that as it may, the bottom line is that one was uncomfortable with the occurrence and one did judge it, at least at the time, to be bad. Out of ones discomfort one formed specific beliefs, considerations, conclusions and ideas that are effecting ones present reality. One of the classic ways of resolving these situations is to re-view the incidents and confront them until one can do so comfortably. One then picks up the beliefs, owns them as ones own creations, and then recreate them until they are more to ones liking. This is the fix up the past in order to better the present approach. There are however also a lesser number of exercises and guided meditations that are aimed at exploring ones inner self to discover the maligning beliefs. In these exercises one does not go into the past per say. One simply explores ones inner beliefs. One approach invites one to look at the reality one is experiencing and then ask what beliefs one would have to have to be experiencing that reality. Both of these approaches, looking into the past and looking inward, can be of great benefit especially when done with someone who has a real talent and some experience with the area. However I have discovered that there is another area that can be of considerable benefit. It has to do with exploring future beliefs. To understand and benefit from this concept let us first review some key basic principles.
SIMULTANEOUS TIME VS LINEAR TIMEThere are in fact two fundamental ways of looking at time. One is the more traditional and familiar idea that there is a past, a present and a future. Normally when we look at time in the linear (Straight line) fashion, we tend to consider that the past is past, the present is what is going on now and the future is as yet unknown. For those who subscribe to the belief that the past can and does effect the present, there can be great value in exploring and re-creating the past. For those who subscribe to the belief that its the NOW that counts, then there is benefit in exploring what beliefs one has now.The second, and normally less familiar way, of looking at time is the idea that all time is simultaneous. The idea is that everything that has ever happened, will happen and is happening is all happening now. This idea is often rather confusing, disorienting and even down right upsetting to those of us who have always had happenings neatly separated into the past, present and future. There is however a relatively simply way of grasping the concept. It consist of playing with the remote control of your TV set. As you sit in the room, there are thousands of channels being broadcast all over the world. You may not have a received capable of tuning to all of them but they never-the-less exist. If you also consider that there are also countless other world civilizations that are also broadcasting programs you can quite rapidly come to the conclusion that there are more channels that there are grains of sand on the beach. The key idea is that they are ALL GOING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY (Right now, in the present) BUT YOU ARE ONLY TUNING IN AND FOCUSING ONE ONE CHANNEL AT A TIME. I recommend that you actually do play with your remote and get the feeling of changing channels and focusing on one possible reality and one possible Sanario at a time. According to the Time Travel theory I advanced in the earlier issues called, "Time Travel", there are a number of possible time lines that one could tune to. Given the proper tools (A time line remote control) one could tune to these as readily as one tune to the latest soap opera on channel two. Now a key principle is to realize that both the linear time method and the simultaneous time method are BOTH VALID WAYS OF LOOKING AT TIME. They are each simply ways of looking at ourselves, others and the universe. They both have value and they both can bring about greater understandings and a greater ability to create more of the life and reality we prefer.
THE FUTURE CREATING THE PRESENTNow let me explore with you the subject that all of this introduction was leading up to, namely the idea that future beliefs and belief systems can have a profound effect on the present when one is viewing time in a linear fashion.I made this discover after I had developed what I considered to be a very in depth and clear perception of both my present and past beliefs and belief systems. This only occurred after many years of processing myself and others into a certainly of what was going on in the present and what had gone on in the past. This included developing an ability to recall in extreme detail every past life and past life incident that had occurred. This doesn't mean that every one was explored but it does mean that the ability to get at the information was fully developed. Once this state occurred, and it was possible to know what one believed in the past and the present, it became apparent that some of the realities I was experiencing were not consistent with the idea that ones beliefs created ones reality. My beliefs simply did not support some of the unprefered conditions I was experiencing. This lead me to doubt the validity of the idea. In other words, I began to discredit the idea that my beliefs and belief systems created my reality. To those who KNEW or ASSERTED that the principle was absolutely true, tended to simply feel or contend that I had just not fully discovered all of my beliefs. Well as it turned out, they were right. However the beliefs I was looking for were not in the past or the present. They were in the future. It was then that I discovered and experienced that future beliefs that are on certain specific time lines can and do create realties and conditions in ones present. As I began to explore these future time lines, I began to make some wondrous discoveries. In a future life, I discovered a belief that I could never afford to purchase a planet I had my heard set on. I believed that it was completely out of my reach and that I would never be in the financial bracket necessary to afford such a purchase. Amazing enough this future "Poverty Consciousness" was apparently producing some very specific limitations in this life. Certain projects that required a vast financial reach were not going forward because of this and other future beliefs. Of course form a simultaneous time viewpoint these beliefs are all part of who and what I am creating myself to be. That fact however in no way invalidates the value of using the idea of linear time and future beliefs as an effective tool to compartment and get at some of the beliefs. I am currently continuing to explore this are for myself and others and am day by day experiencing miraculous changes in my present day reality. |
