Time-travel
Time-travel is real - i can prove it …
Australia's Original inhabitants time-travelled from 60k year ago to the 18-19 hundreds.
Trick is: it’s not you, the human, who whisks-off through Time/Space, so much as Time/Space comes to you. It travelled to the Originals - it could travel to us from 60 k into some other dystopian future - via aliens/AI/hybrids/what-have-you - it could happen at any tick of the clock …
Time is … only a word - Anaxagoras’s Nous is a better word - but Time, as we know it, was a concept invented by western culture, which defined it by metricizing it:
1. Clocks: tick-tock-tick-tocking their seconds, minutes, hours away for Earth spinning on its axis - makes me dizzy thinking about it … Each revolution one day long - Mon-day-i-got-Fri-day-on-my-mind … We set alarm clocks to it, take it one-day-at-at-a-time, work, knock-off, make dates, eat, watch entertainment, enforce curfews, go to sleep. Spinning is The Days of our Lives. But: Seven days do not a weeketh make. Weeks, months, years, centuries - the higher-ups - that’s a different force of physics entirely …
2. Calendars: 30 Days have September April June & November - all the rest have 31, excepting February … which is a weird fucking month, that should be banned. Calendars are Earth’s lap-times (sensational ones) - calculated according to our revolvement around Sun. Which is a bloody long way. 900 million k’s. Btw, don’t be late. Meanwhile, Sun is also revolving around the centre of the galaxy at galactic speed - ends up you're doing 2mil+ k - sitting on the couch. (If only we could travel that speed in a different direction … you could get to Mars in 30 minutes)
There are two types of humans:
-
Spinners (tree-thinkers - people caught in the daily grind - the minutiae )
-
Revolvers (forests - transcendentalists - big picture thinkers)
That’s crap. I made that up, but spectrum-wise - we have both inside us, one is more, less, or so-so, emphasized. It also fluctuates within us.
Spinning - revolving - both dizzying - are (funda) mental-input-forces acting on us. It’s like, not like, it is, going on two different, scary rides at the Amusement Park at the End of the Universe - happening at insane speeds - at the same time … perpetually … That’s gotta do ya fucking head in … surely …
It doesn’t somehow. Sends you 'round the bend, literally - in a circular motion, it’s all bending - but it’s also the state we blithely exist in. I’m doing it now: typing at millions of k an hour whilst spinning like a top … ! Feels slower though. Slow as a snail. I wish i could go faster … Sometimes i do have a spinning feeling when i stand up too quick, so that’s something.
But does it matter? We're accustomed to it - it's innate - we don't feel it - who cares?
Ignore it, carry on is what the experts advise. Understanding beyond that ... ? Does Time even exist as a fundamental of the Universe? I think not. It's a by-product of something else. At best it's a misnomer. Nous or Consciousness gets you a lot closer to the origin of existence than Time ever will
Clocks/Calendars are empirical measurements - they don’t capture Time/Nous’s essence .. they downstream-register its existence on a machine: that’s all
The Originals had a good way of looking at it: the Everywhen
Everything that has happened or will happen or could have happened … but didn’t … wells from the Everywhen … or doesn’t …
One fine day, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a breed-unto-themselves, welled up …
When these universes entwined, the Missionaries assumed the position of the Aliens from the Everywhen - come to Save us in the name of Jesus & The Blessed Virgin.
This book is a look at what happens when Cultures time-travel, collide ...
