As humans, nature has given us one of the greatest gifts of all time, the free will to deviate from its ancient and self-sustaining lands of its mental and physical bodies.
As humans, we are discoverers, with a most insatiable appetite for creating ever-new experiences. We simply don’t like repeats. We prefer variation, and infinite variation at that, with each moment being unique, never before happened, and never to be repeated. In joint venture with nature, whilst also being nature itself, nature agrees to sustain us at an unconscious level, while we exercise our topmost parts of consciousness, our conscious mind, to set out on adventures which bring to us ever-new experiences.
When we start “grow out” of certain frameworks of experience and perception, nature starts getting us ready to make a leap to the next framework, helping to stream new ideas through our imagination, and also making biological changes to our bodies, notably to our brain functioning.
In that we are here to learn about time travel, then you might have guessed already that the next step in evolution is just that, time travel. Or put another way, experiencing such a significant shift in our natural point of perception through which we essentially step outside of time itself, so giving us the ability to craft time in similar ways to how we are presently able to craft matter or space.
In many ways, our progressive learning in crafting matter, and developing space travel, are all precursors to preparing ourselves for the switch to crafting time, with the first notable signs of the quickening or acceleration required to build up to this point beginning around the time of the industrial revolution in the 1700s. In one sense, we are not that far now from reaching the legendary “88mph”, even though it’s taking around 300 years to pan out.
As far as I can tell, one of the most recent times there was such a similar mass shift in consciousness was in ancient Egypt, and the building of the pyramids can be seen as a symbolic recognition of such an achievement. It is even quite possible that the logistical side of building the pyramids was as much to do with crafting time than with crafting matter (which is far more labour intensive). Similar legacies can also be seen in the mesoamerican pyramids.
The pyramidal form is symbolic of the evolution of the ego function, which is accompanied by the intellectual function, and the exercising of free will. In terms of the industrial revolution (and its preceding agricultural revolution), it’s reflected in the progression or acceleration from foraging, to agriculture, to industry, to services, to IT. This can be rephrased to read progression from natural, to organic, to mechanical, to electrical, to electronic.
Such progression is pyramidal in form because each stage depends on the previous stage for its sustenance, and at some point it will reach a peak which signifies its optimum “balance” of interdependent operation. Up to that point, the deviation allowed through free will should on balance enhance life, but if taken beyond that point the creative work will be overdone and start to create counterproductive or destructive outcomes for its original creators, especially when the original meanings of the lessons have become lost in time or translation, and later generations forget that true power is primarily to do with the quality and timing of interdependency, not material quantity or monetary wealth.
At certain points in time, there comes a time to slow down, to reflect on the work done, and learn lessons by it so that any mistakes can be rectified not compounded. These natural Work-Rest cycles operate at many levels and over varying periods of time, from microseconds to millennia. Nature will still provide sustenance in such times, in the same way that our body is still alive whether we are awake or asleep. It’s simply a matter of observing good timing and proper practice.
You see, by the time our brain functioning has reached a capability to imagine and think about quantum phenomena, which started around 100 years ago (in the West), then we are essentially getting ready to flick the biological switch in our brain functioning which enables our own natural selves to become quantum operators, whereby our conscious abilities expand to such a degree that we are able to move matter simply through thought itself.
We move from being physical scientists, to artistic scientists, with a whole new medium to work with, time.
Before that happens, however, we need to enable nuclear fusion, or at least the 1.21 gigawatts needed to kick in the flux capacitor. So let’s now look more into timing and the “live game”.
