The Illusion of Time: Past, Present, and Future All Exist Simultaneously

This post is my first example of how Past-Life Regressionist, Dolores Cannon, has found the source of all knowledge and the information that comes through her clients from this "source of all knowledge", is beginning to be corroborated by science. Check out what this article is all about:

It's hard to deny our everyday experience of the passage of time. We use clocks, watches, and the digital clocks on our cellphones to keep track of it, so we do not fall behind in our daily schedules. Our entire society runs on time, but as real as it feels, science is beginning to show that the distinction between the past, present, and future, may only be an illusion.

The topic of simultaneous time is discussed in Dolores Cannon’s Convoluted Universe series. It’s the notion that all of time exists, that the past is not gone, and that the future with its possibilities is not non-existent. Here are some excerpts from Dolores’ books:

“I feel that what she was trying to explain has to do with the theory of simultaneous time. According to this concept, everything (past, present, future) is all existing at the same time, because time is only an illusion. Thus, it can all be accessed. This is what I have succeeded in doing, accessing all of these different various parts. By using this method of hypnosis, we are going to what I call “a past life”, by changing our vibration and frequency to match the vibration and frequency of the time period we wish to see. Very much like tuning the radio channels, or changing the TV stations.”
(pg. 585, Convoluted Universe 3) 

“I have described my Convoluted Universe series as books for those who want their minds bent like pretzels. If this story has not succeeded in bending yours a little, then I have not done my job. I think it is a perfect example of how one main soul part can be aware of the others, and it also gives us a glimpse of how they exist at the same time. At one time, I asked the subconscious about simultaneous time. “How is it possible that everything is happening at the same time? We know we start out as a baby, grow into a child, and finally an adult. We see it as linear progression. How can it all be happening at the same time?” It answered, “Because it isn’t happening at the same time. That denotes a beginning and an end. It is existing at the same time.”    ” (pg. 367, Convoluted Universe 3)

And when it comes to this idea of simultaneous time, this also explains what is happening in Multiple-Personality Disorder/Dissociative-Identity Disorder:

“When I read this article, I suddenly realized what these doctors are unknowingly dealing with. They are assuming (as most of us do in the normal everyday world) that we are one individual personality. They have no concept of this theory that we are actually pieces, facets, splinters, of a much larger soul which is sending out many pieces to experience as much as possible in a quicker time frame. That all of these pieces of ourselves are existing at the same time and are normally not aware of each other. I have been told that this is the way it should be, because the human mind cannot handle knowing all of these things. In order to function in our everyday, normal world, we must be focused on the present life, on the body we are occupying at the present time. It is all right to know that these other parts exist, but if they were to begin interacting with our present life, it would cause confusion and chaos. I have found that in exceptional cases, the person’s life can become so traumatic that another “piece” decides to come in for a limited while to relieve the pressure on the spirit occupying the body. If this were not done, the trauma would be too great for the spirit assigned to the body. I believe this has been the case in books I have read about multiple-personalities, such as Three Faces of Eve and Sybil. Their lives become so difficult that they look for a way to retreat. Maybe when they came into this life, the veil was thinner, or the glue that holds them in their places was weaker. Either way, I think these “alters” are really some of the other facets (or lives) of the individual leaking through.” (pg. 368, Convoluted Universe 3) 

This idea of time existing all at the same time is also commonly described in those who experience Near-Death Experiences. Check out the case of Anita Moorjani, who describes her NDE, and is cured of cancer after her experience!

One important notion to understand from The Convoluted Universe 3 excerpts and from many NDE’s, is that the passage of time is an illusion. But how can this be? How can something so familiar to us be an illusion? 

“There is really no such thing as “before”. All exists simultaneously. Humans, and their limited human brains, put things in order. It is just about the only way humans can operate. They would be like mice running around in a maze if they didn’t make up these arbitrary structures for themselves.” (pg. 39-40, Convoluted Universe 3) 

For a scientific point of view on this notion, let’s check out NOVA’s…

                          http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/fabric-of-cosmos.html#fabric-time

,which is hour two of the four part The Fabric of the Cosmos Series in which renowned physicist and author, Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe.

In this episode and a piece of the episode seen below, we see exactly why time, as familiar as it seems to us, may be nothing more than an illusion. 

                                                                A Clip From the Episode:

“The flow of time seems to always be in one direction: toward the future. But that may not be right. Discoveries over the last century have shown that much of what we think about time may be nothing more than an illusion. Contrary to everyday experience, time may not flow at all. Our past may not be gone; our future may already exist.”

 “Einstein came to this shocking revelation by uncovering a hidden connection between space and time. What Einstein figured out is that there's a profound link between motion through space and the passage of time. Roughly speaking, the more you have of one, the less you have of the other.”

“And this was Einstein's key insight, that motion through space affects the passage of time… So why don't we ever see this in everyday life? Well, at the slow speeds we move here on Earth, motion's impact on time is so tiny we don't experience it. But the effect is real and can be measured… Einstein's theory has been tested again and again and again. And it all hangs together. It really forms the basis for the way we understand much of the way nature works… With the discovery of this unexpected link between space and time, Einstein realized that the two could no longer be thought of as separate things. Instead, space and time are fused together in what came to be called "spacetime."”

“And this fusion of space and time would lead Einstein to perhaps the most mind-bending realization of all: the sharp difference we see between past, present and future may only be an illusion.”

“To get a feel for this, you have to think about the seemingly simple concept of "now." For me, a list of things that I consider to be happening right now might include the tick of noon on my office clock; my cat just now jumping from the windowsill; things happening far away, like a pigeon in Venice taking flight at this very moment; a meteor just now hitting the moon; and the explosion of a star at the far reaches of the universe.

 These, and all other events that I think are happening at the same moment in time but in different regions of our universe, make up what I intuitively think of as "now." You can picture them as lying on a single slice of spacetime. Let's call it a "now" slice.

Common sense would say that you and I and everyone else will agree on what's happening or what exists right now, moment after moment after moment. That is, we will all agree on what lies on a given now slice. But Einstein showed that, strangely, when you take motion into account, this common sense picture of time goes out the window.

To see what I mean, think of spacetime as a loaf of bread. Einstein realized that, just as there are different ways to cut a loaf of bread into individual slices, there are different ways to cut spacetime into individual "now" slices. That is, because motion affects the passage of time, someone who is moving will have a different conception of what's happening right now, and so they'll cut the loaf into different now slices. Their slices will be at a different angle.

DAVID KAISER: That person who's moving will, will tilt the knife, will be carving out these slices at a different angle. They won't be parallel to my slices of time.”

“The alien's now slice cuts across the loaf differently. It's angled towards the past. Since the alien is biking at a leisurely pace, his slice is angled to the past by only a miniscule amount. But across such a vast distance, that tiny angle results in a huge difference in time. So what the alien would find on his angled now slice—he considers as happening right now, on Earth—no longer includes our friend at the gas station, or even 40 years earlier when our friend was a baby.

 Amazingly, the alien's now slice has swept back through more than 200 years of Earth history and now includes events we consider part of the distant past, like Beethoven finishing his 5th Symphony: 1804 to 1808.

DAVID KAISER: Even at a relatively slow speed we can have, actually, tremendous disagreements on our labeling of "now," what happens at the same time, if we're spread out far enough in space.

BRIAN GREENE: And if that's not strange enough, the direction you move makes a difference, too. Watch what happens when the alien turns around and bikes toward Earth. The alien's new "now slice" is angled to…toward the future, and so it includes events that won't happen on Earth for 200 years: perhaps our friend's great-great-great granddaughter teleporting from Paris to New York.”

“Once we know that your now can be what I consider the past, or your now can be what I consider the future, and your now is every bit as valid as my now, then we learn that the past must be real, the future must be real. They could be your now. That means past, present, future…all equally real; they all exist.

SEAN CARROLL: If you believe the laws of physics, there's just as much reality to the future and the past as there is to the present moment.

MAX TEGMARK: The past is not gone, and the future isn't non-existent. The past, the future and the present are all existing in exactly the same way.

BRIAN GREENE: Just as we think of all of space as being "out there," we should think of all of time as being "out there" too. Everything that has ever happened or will happen, it all exists, from Leonardo da Vinci laying the final brushstroke on the Mona Lisa; to the signing of the Declaration of Independence; to your first day of school; to events that, from our perspective, are yet to happen, like the first humans landing on Mars.

 With this bold insight, Einstein shattered one of the most basic concepts of how we experience time. 
"The distinction between past, present, and future," he once said, "is only an illusion, however persistent."       ”

“JANNA LEVIN: Our entire experience of time is constantly in the present. And all we ever grasp is that instant moment.

MAX TEGMARK: There is nothing in the laws of physics that picks out one now over any other now. And it's just from our subjective viewpoint that it feels like things are changing.

BRIAN GREENE: Just the way an entire movie exists on celluloid, think of all moments of time as already existing too. The difference is that in the movies, a projector lights up or selects each frame as it goes by, but in the laws of physics, there is no evidence of something like a projector light that selects one moment over another. Our brains may create this impression, but in reality, what we all experience as the flow of time really may be nothing more than an illusion.

Main Points:

1.      Time is existing at the same time, the past is not gone, and the future is not nonexistent.

2.      The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent

3.      Dolores Cannon’s work with the source of Universal Knowledge has revealed the same information that science is beginning to lean towards to and understanding.

4.      Those that experience Near-Death Experiences report the same feelings of time being all out there existing and the passage of time, being an illusion. 

This is just one of many ways that science is merging with spirituality and what Dolores Cannon has found!
