How Not To Blog ?

It may first be a good idea to find out WHY you desire to experience either.

Would you be able to tell apart someone that could help you in this manner from just an other stranger?

Most people, I think, aren't really interested in "traveling through time" or "seeing the future". Most are afraid of time itself, which is why they are bound by their linear experience of time.

You do not need a machine to experience time differently any more than you need a car to walk across a busy intersection.

You can easily "travel through time" or "see the future". In fact, you do so effortlessly, at every moment. The only difference between you and someone who "time travels" is the recognition and focus of the act. You are one, you just don't know it. (I, personally, don't know it as well as some others do, but I suppose you would call me a "time traveler".)

There are quite a few human beings, on this Earth right now, who are able to experience time more as it really is - an illusion. Many of them we have locked away in crazy hospitals. Would you be able to distinguish a 'time traveler' if you passed her on the street? Probably not. In fact, if their personal culture is too alien to you, you may not see them at all. (The pink elephant effect, such as all of the stimuli your senses are picking up right now but you choose to ignore, for sake of focus.)

Focus is the only tool you need to do either of the above.

But first, you would do well to really question your assumptions about time. Your concepts of past/present/future. Most people, for example, would quite naturally assume I am from the distant future. Think about these fears (yes, fears) and how you can open them up to encompass a greater reality.

If you want to "travel through time", you will only experience your wanting to travel through time (which is exactly what you wished for).

Don't wish. Don't want. Realize what you are already experiencing.

Time travel is not traveling at all. The only real time is whatever you think it is. It's a human invention. The closest thing to time that you can work with is focus. There are no machines to build, though you can certainly build a device that helps you to amplify your focus for a specific task. That's nowhere in your near future, however. The problem arises when people think they need high-technology or certain tools (the elusive time machine) to do something that they are doing right now, without realizing they are doing it. The old joke about you traveling through time at the rate of 1 second per second still applies. The trick is to realize that you make it up as you go along, and that its just an illusion that you use to perform specific tasks.

As a simple exercise, consider your thoughts to be an FTP program, like CuteFTP. (Here I make a comparison of "time travel" to an internet tool because there is actually little difference between it and the internet. In fact, our continuous development of these kinds of tools will lead to an experience of evolved mental technology, including the ability to experience a myraid of what we would call dimensions using software developed entirely for our minds.)

In the left window is your consciousness, with all of its foci. Each folder is a personality, and the hard drive is your aggregate consciousness (soul, whatever you want to call it).

In the right window, we have the ability to access everything else that you can imagine. For sake of simplicity, each thing has its own FTP site location.

The difference between an FTP program and your conscioussness in this example would be that you don't start a 'session' with another host. All sessions are already open and transferring bits of information back and forth with one-another. But you don't have to think about this seeming infinity. Just imagine that to connect to another site, you don't have to wait for a connection. You simply think about what 'dimension' you want to access and you are there as soon as you think about it. The more you focus the better your connection is.

This is how our mind works. It is in constant communication with every other thing that you can imagine, each possibility connected to every other.

There is NO DIFFERENCE in "connecting" to your present location (your present experience) and connecting to an other location (for example, The Eiffel Tower in the winter of 1918). Your ability to do so is the same.

If you perform this simple exercise (with an open mind, of course) and imagine the exchange of information (datachecking) in BOTH DIRECTIONS you will most likely experience "time traveling". Alas, there is little drama involved, and most of you will not. (Which is what you were always seeking, anyway.)

One does not actually travel through time. The experience comes to you. Information must be exchanged in both directions, because time exists nowhere but in your thoughts. You do not go anywhere, such as we seem to do in physical experience. (Which may be why we currently have such a hard time grasping how exactly the feat may be accomplished.) You become the experience simply by changing your focus.

..there would be no information about that event simply because it did not happen. that would be easy to verify.

Also, there's the possibility that you would bring 9/11 with you.

If something is highly relative to your experience, you may only experience those probabilities that are relative to your perception.

The person that is consumed by 9/11 would not be able to experience many probabilities where 9/11 wasn't a part, for example.

It also would be difficult, for example, to dream about being someone else, or someone who isn't much like you.

That isn't because you can't imagine it, but because *you experience relative probabilities*.

"Time" does not flow in a linear fashion. (it does not flow anyhow. Only your perception flows, so to speak.)

If you took away all of the sensory stimuli in your current experience, your experience of time would be more abstract.

It is because one probability is highly relative to an other that we experience time as we do.

Imagine a large mountain of houses. Each house looks like your home from childhood. Each house is slightly different from the next. Some houses are more worn than others, for example, or may have different features or smells than others. Some houses may reflect sunshine in a certain way that others do not.

This is the realm of probability, existing all at once.

YOUR PERCEPTION breaks down this simultaneity into relative experience, and so time seems to flow from one to the next. That is how we are able to perceive anything.

Let's say each second of your childhood is represented by one of these houses. The first second will be your first memory of the house. The next second will be a house very similar to the last, and so on.

In theory, if the house of October 8th, 1962 was relative to the house of December 6th, 1995, then the probabilities will "merge". The more relative the two are, the more your experiences of the two will merge.

You may, for example, sitting in the kitchen in 1995 smell or hear something from 1962 as if it were "real".

That is how one "jumps" to an other timeline. One makes relevant the two timelines and "rus with it"; a process I hope to clarify in Lesson 5 on my other thread ("If you're really interested in Time Travel...")

You could say that your experience of probabilities changes a countless number of times each moment.

The "easy to verify" part would also be difficult, as when your probability changes, so does your perception. (And thought processes, neural pathways, etc.)

That's why I say that we time travel all the time without realizing it. (And the experience is real.) The trick is to be aware of how, when, and why.

But very few people want to hear this part about already being able to do something, or the future already existing in your present reality. Many people want to make it much more difficult than it actually is ...which is why it seems impossible (and the actual methods unlikely, or not "real").

Time Travel Lesson #2

Take a look outside at the furthest distance you can.

You are, for all intents and purposes, literally peering into an other time. The object or space you are seeing does not share the same time signature as do you.

If you are looking at the sun, you know that light from the sun seems to take approximately 8 minutes to reach the surface of Earth. We can say that when we look at the sun, we are peering into its past. That's the obvious part.

Light is a time traveler. If you were to travel at about the speed of light, you would be observing time as you never knew was possible.

But it is not just light or "faster" energies that can do this. What do you think is the speed of conscioussness or thought? Do you think your consciousness is not "traveling" through time right now? Indeed, you are exchanging and receiving information to/from multiple time-signatures, in some form or an other, at every moment.

The "speed" of a thing is concurrent with that thing's emotional significance of it in your experience. (This is about the closest I can explain it in words.) You can call this gravity.

As we approach the realization of global consciousness, for example, news and ideas travel faster. It is no wonder that the internet, a tool for global thought, is one reason why information travels faster and farther. The faster something is, the more "nows" that thing experiences at the same time. Light travels fast, and so it experiences many of our "nows" at once. It could, for example, go "back and forth through time". The speed of consciousness, which to us is instantaneous and without speed, allows us to do the same thing with even greater effect.

Light generally moves slower to those who see little of it, or none at all. Those areas of the Earth that receive more light also enjoy faster light-times than the darker regions of the Earth. Scientists have already observed that atomic clocks run faster at the equator than they do at either pole.

However, gravity is not just a scientific force. It would be more accurate to say that it is an emotional force, drawing all things that are relative to it closer to its realm of experience. But gravity is not just a one-way street. You have to exchange information (your emotional or gravitational force) for gravity to work. There is no time travel without information exchange. (You wouldn't even be experiencing your present environment if you weren't constantly exchanging information BACK AND FORTH with it. Too often we think of senses or stimuli coming to us without thinking of what we ourselves feedback with. All consciousness feeds back into its environment, and everything else. Radio waves never die. Neither does any of your thought, action, cell movement, act of looking, etc. It is because everything always exists, in simultaneity, that you can "time travel", or your author can exist in 2 places simultaneously.)

Gravity is focus. (Those three simple words will open up new universes to you.)

The planets in our solar system, for example, are all related to one-another. The people in our lives, too, are all emotionally related to us. The planets have gravity, and so do we. If humans were not emotionally relevant to the Earth, or vice-versa, we'd have no gravity to walk upon the face of it. (That last paragraph will open up new worlds to astronomers, as well.) No wonder we sometimes refer to our planet as "Mother Earth".

As the sun does not share the same time-signature as do you, there is no way for you to experience it in its "now". Your best guess is how it was 8 minutes ago.

The tree outside also does not share the same time as do you. When you look at it, you cannot see it in it's "now", either. Granted, the distance is very short, but it nonetheless does not share your "now" of experience, either.

Here's where it starts to get wild. Take a look at your nose. That, too, does not share your "now" of experience. Scientifically, we're talking such small slices of time that you'd need a couple of days just to figure out how far in the past your sensory image of the tip of your nose actually is.

But guess what? There is no point of space where "you" exists. EVERYTHIG, including "you", is outside of that imaginary point from where your sense of time originates.

It is the nature is time to divide itself up into so many infinite slices, there is no time at all. (Infinity is a concept with no basis in reality. It's comes in handy when thinking about such things like time or space. Our continued fragmented focus does not show us that there is really only one thing to observe. This essential non-existence is so frightening that we, smart as we are, invented consciousness to focus. We literally chopped up everything, to make it digestible.)

So, that brings us to time-space (or, time's pace if you like to play with words). Time and space are the same.

Everything in your experience, sharing a different space with you, shares a different time.

Look up from the tree to the sun, and you can see a more distant "past".

Seeing into the future is just as easy. Perhaps that is Lesson 3.

Look up from the tree to the sun, and you are time traveling. You're not going anywhere physically, you're simply traveling through time by changing your focus from the tree to the sun.

Do this a few times over the next week. When you do, think about how you are actually experiencing a different time simply by changing your focus. The sun has been there all along, you just weren't thinking about it that much. You are now, and your eyes are burning. (How's that for intense focus?)

A while after, look from the tree to the Egyptian pyramids in the background, or the Eiffel Tower. It's there, you just have to focus on it. Remember, you are a gravitational force, continuously exchanging information (consciousness) with your environment/experience. Just as easily as the sun burns your eyes (information exchange) you can hear the great sound of the pyramids being constructed (information exchange).

Granted, it's not as sexy, exciting, or as adventurous as hopping into your own time machine, pressing the time to which you want to travel, and then magically appearing there. Such time travel does not exist.

Infinity is our realm of infinite interpretations of something that cannot truly be interpreted.

As I mention in an other post, "...Our continued fragmented focus does not show us that there is really only one thing to observe. This essential non-existence is so frightening that we, smart as we are, invented consciousness to focus. We literally chopped up everything, to make it digestible."

Infinity, then, relates to how we interpret this "everything". Since this everything cannot be contained in one thought, a trillion experiences, a mountain of specs, etc., it seems that it goes on forever, as our interpretations for it are endless and futile. Without this trial of interpretation, we'd preceive nothing, and thus would have no means to exist.

You can say that we really only see/experience *one* thing in a wide variety of ways.

Let's start with an example of a particle of light, which our scientists have tried to study in great detail.

Quantum physics tells us that when we are looking at a photon it is both a wave and a particle. However, we can only observe one of these states at a time with our senses. If you see it as a wave, it does not behave like a particle, and vice-versa.

Our normal sense cannot "contain" both ideas at the same time - we inherently see it as a contradiction and therefore break it down into more easily perceived parts. It is actually both of these simultaneously, existing in two possibilities at once. (To itself, however, it is just one possibility that contains both states at once. Another type of being may not be able to understand how you can perceive a table to be both long and wide, or sharp and round, at the same time. Yet, we ourselves can do this with ease.)

Our senses perceive the greater reality as being fragmented so that we are able to perceive and experience it. If our sense did not "break down" the greater reality for us, we would perceive nothing.

With our sense, we are able to focus on the table 's duality (sharp/round) but not the photon's duality (wave/particle). The context in which the photon exists is not very relevant to our experience, but the table is. We, thus, have not yet learned how to focus on the greater reality of the photon.

Sound, for example, is another probability of light, and vice-versa. Sound and light are the same ultimate energy.

Some persons are able to perceive color and sound at the same time, see sounds, taste colors, etc. The medical term is synaesthesia but really this is just a change of focus to encompass a greater number of probabilities.

Your entire universe exists at once. No time. No space. (This basically scares the bejeezus out of most of us, which is why we found ourselves in our current state of time/space experience. Fear maintains the illusion of separation.)

Some entities perceive a greater state of probabilities for our solar system, for example, and do not perceive planets, or multiple galaxies. In the most encompassing probability of reality, there are no planets, galaxies, and there is no universe. All things are the same.

The universe is abstract, and each of us interprets (and experiences) it differently. You can't even tell how an other person experiences it, because they also exist as your interpretation.

If everything were one thing, you would think there would be essentially nothing, right? At the very "beginning" of your universe, this nothingness (chaos) was simply perceived. Out of this act of perceiving was born consciousness/focus/perception.

Your left and right hands are two interpretations of the same thing. Your left hand is also related to your keyboard or your jacket, being a different iteration of the same thing-that-cannot-be-perceived.

It is not just that your left hand exists in all probabilities (and "timelines"), and so therefore is also your right hand, keyboard, jacket, and galaxy, it is the *same* thing. "No space" means that everything is the same. "No time" means that all times are the same.

Time/space is an illusion of the senses. We imagine that such a thing exists to make "sense" of our experience.

(Ever stare at someone's face for a couple of minutes and begin to see their face change? That's the nature of multiple possibilities existing at the same time. Now you know how "seers" sometimes see into the past/present/future.)

Yes, this is a lot of existence. I'd hate to do the bookkeeping on that kind of job. But it's not an impossibility for everything to exist in all directions and possibilities, especially when you consider how "vast" the universe seems to be, and how "vast" the microcosmos seems to be. it is not just space that seems to go on forever, it is also other dimensions of existence that seem to go on forever.

I think the closest our scientists have come to this is the concept of the "holographic universe", where every bit of the universe is contained in every other bit.

Here it's not a matter of size. The mass of the galaxy isn't reduced to the size of a sub-atomic particle. Rather than size, it's our ability to infinitely interpret that which cannot be interpreted. (And it is because it cannot be interpreted or perceived that everything seems to go on forever.) We may sometimes be confused when thinking of such things as the universe, when space is an illusion of the senses. The universe has *no* size. There is no universe, per se. There is only your experience. When you look out to "distant" stars, they are no furter away than your perception, which isn't far from you at all.

Yes, Napoleon's trousers are "embedded" in the cereal you are eating this morning.

The cereal not only contains the "probability code" for his trousers, the cereal *is* his trousers. Granted, it doesn't look like a pair of trousers. One experience interpreted into infinite probabilities - one batch we have cereal and cereal-like things, one batch we have trousers and trouser-like things.

However, you only experience those probabilities whose context is relevant to your experience. If experiencing the year 2180 on Venus will be relevant to your experience 20 minutes from now, you will most likely find your way there 20 minutes from now. Or at least in some way experience what you need to experience to fulfill the course of relative probability.

Here's where it really gets wild...

What is relevant to your experience is highly localized. Your probabilities and experience is highly efficient. So much so that only those things you are directly perceiving now actually exist.

Like the quantum particle, it only exists when you are looking at it. (Funny how scientists don't seem to think that the nature of the particles that compose us and our world does not directly apply to our physical experience.)

If you are in a closed room with no windows, there is nothing outside of it. If you hear the sound of a car, there is no car *until* you look at it.

I told you it was wild.

Your entire realm of experience exists with you in that room, or of whatever you are experiencing. At every moment, your world is created anew from the "holographic" data (for severe lack of more descriptive language) in your experience.

Every possibility is "contained within" every other possibility. And every possibility is a window to every other possibility. (This is the basic rule for "time travelers". Some are so good at it, they can look at a chair and appear instantly in the town that it was created in. They focus on the chair so intently that it overwhelms their experience, and they can then work within its probabilities. That is why the seasoned "time/space traveler" needs only their thoughts to re-experience their experience.)

Experience anything, and you are witnessing the real-time creation of sensory and imaginative experience. It's kind of like when you dream, when that huge building wasn't there until you looked at it.

"Infinity" is really the limits to your imagination. If you can imagine something, it exists in your realm of probabilities. Good for you, you can imagine everything.

That, in a nutshell, is infinity.

That you are convinced something will happen does not make it so. It may be more practical to say that you experience your perceptions, rather than experience your beliefs, because oftentimes we do not know what our beliefs truly are. It also brings to light the constantly changing nature of perceptions.

You create your own reality insofar as you perceive the reality that you experience. This is most obvious, of course. But realize that you do not actually create something in your reality. You simply re-perceive that which is already there. Energy is neither created nor destoyed but re-purposed. Similarly, you do not create anything in your reality. You re-purpose that which is already there.

For example, you could say to yourself, "By this time next week I will be wealthy!", and wait endless weeks for something to become of the thought.

If you instead say, "I am wealthy", you begin to realize the ways that you are already wealthy and, thus, bring the probability of that experience even closer to you. You then perceive yourself as being something that you already are, but weren't focusing on.

Crossing the street or day-to-day living isn't as simple to explain. However, the same principles of continuously re-fashioning one's perceptions are at work.

Yes, perception is reality. But exactly how many things are there in an existence where you cannot perceive of anything beyond your own perception?

If you are talking to two of your neighbors at the same time, is that two perceptions or just one?

How many perceptions do you think you have?

By "re-perceiving" your reality, it does not mean that you change the cup that you have on the table into the glass that you want. The only way to change your reality is to re-focus your *entire* perception.

If we did not refocus our perception, we'd have neither sense of motion nor sense of time/space. It's a wonderful trick.

If the cup changes, you can be sure that the table has changed, too. And the house in which it rests is also different. And the galaxy, etc. In your "future", scientists call this chaos theory. It is not just that the wings of the butterfly will cause a tornado to occur in Texas. There is no difference between the two. They are the same probability experienced in different ways, you could say. (One probability is "contained" in the other. Refer to post regarding holographic probability, "On Endless Possibilities" on the previous page.)

This way is any probability accessed from any other. This way does any event affect any other.

Because there is no difference.

You already know that your present is fluid. You can swing to any probability vine that is relative to your current one. Most people call it "choice". I refer to it as imagination.

It is also important to realize that not only is your "future" fluid, but so is your "past". There is no single "past" that you have experienced. Your past changes as much as your present does.

...so, all this given, if i do in fact determine my own reality/future... i FEAR that by stumbling upon these writings, apocalyptic predictions of a world driven to self-destruct and rebuild... that i may have inadvertently DOOMED MYSELF TO LIVE IT.

All probable events need to somehow be satisfied in your current reality. All existence must be "contained" within your current reality (read: holographic universe).

If, for example, you somehow "knew" that an imminent, fatal car crash was relative to your current time-signature (in English, you are going to die in a car crash soon), you could lessen the probability of the event simply by banging your head lightly on the steering wheel.

Thus, the pressure of experiecing the fatal car crash event in your probability was lessened by you experiencing something relative to that probability. (It also lessens the fear of experiencing that probability, as would dreaming about a car crash.)

You could say that the probability of the event (relative to your current probability) was 79% percent before you hit your head, and only 5% after, for example.

We can literally avoid the direct experience of "armageddon", for example, by writing a book about it. Or singing a song about it. Thus releasing the fear that was there that may have caused such events to find their way into our probability.

Some mothers like to worry about the welfare of their children by envisioning and emotionally experiencing the worst of the worst of what could possibly happen to their child, in order to satisfy the probability and thus help to avoid the experience in their reality. In such cases, the mother's fear will be alleviated, ironically, by experiencing the totality of that fear and allowing it to dissipate. (Temporarily living with it, if you will, in her imagination).

This works because you then satisfy the fear of the probability - you no longer fear it. Continue to avoid a probability, due to fear, and you will undoubtedly experience it in one of its many forms. A child's fear of monsters, for example, may cause them to hear "monster sounds" whereas you only hear the sound of a distant storm. Both experiences are real. (So, what do you make of someone else trying to make others afraid of something?)

In the most basic way, what we truly do not fear, we no longer have the need to experience. If you fear it, you are making it more relative to your probability. (And not just because you're giving it so much of your conscious attention.)

However, if you read something about "Armageddon" and fear it, it will most likely find its way into your reality, *somehow*, in the realm of probabilities.

The knock at your door simply means there's unfinished business in your head.

For some people, they have already experienced "Armageddon" and gotten over the fear simply by seeing the film of the same name. For others, though, they may need more experiences to work out their fear. (Fear is what ramifies the universe in our perception. That all things are one and the same is a truly frightening thought. Even being the same as the person standing next to us can be frightening.)

Many of the things that you may read on these forums and in other places (dire predictions of the "future", for example) are probabilities intepreted from a fearful mindset. Like the kid in "The Sixth Sense" that thought all of the dead people he saw were trying to kill him. (Additionally, there is no one future that everyone is experiencing. There are endless futures.)

"There is nothing new under the sun." The apocalypse will occur as much in your future as it did in your breakfast this morning.

The next lesson will involve the coming awakening and the changes that we will experience leading up to it.

That presupposes that we all share the same experience and probability, and that an "awakening" is in the "future".

There is no one future that we are all experiencing. Similarly, there is no one future that any one of us is experiencing now. There are many probabilities for the past/present/future.

If you do not perceive an "awakening" in your present, then most likely you do not pereive an awakening in your future. This is the most important point I can provide anyone with regards to any "future event".

Your "future" probability is, you could say, a mirror of your present one. For they are one and the same.

Your future is what you are imagining it to be.

We will learn how to choose our path more conciously.

This is interesting. It, in a way, frees us from the restrictions of the first quote. If we can each choose our own path, then how can anyone tell you what the world is going to be like in the future?

"Consciously choosing the path" is illustrated in the following simple exercise:

Instead of saying, "I am going to have a great day today", realize the ways in which you are having a great day right now. Your focus will enhance the probability of it being experienced in your reality. You're simply paying attention to what is already there.

Yes, it is as easy as that. (When you transition from sleep to wakefulness you make the same kind of declaration, for one example. When you are sleeping you don't say to yourself, "I will awake in a few minutes" but you may say, "I am waking up" and then wake up automatically.) It is always in a context relative to your current probability of experience. Declaring, "I am a giant chicken" won't do anything for you, however, unless that is near to your current probability already.

Additionally, there is no one "path" that you are pre-detestined to. Time/space is more flexible than a clock or ruler would have you believe. You were not born to do anything in particular, because you are being born right now in an other probability, and also are someone else in yet an other. When you take away the notion of time and space, different rules apply.

We will learn techniques which use the "gravity" of the coming awakening of humantiy as a "pivot point" for exploration.

Again, this presupposes some things which then make it difficult to respond.

One can use the gravity of any event "in the future" (or past) as a point of exploration. The only exploration I can imagine here is the exploration of possibilities.

Anything that you experience now (events, emotions, thoughts, etc.) you also are experiencing in your "past" and "future", in some form. In this way can all times (and probabilities) be explored.

For example, if you spent 1 year being as happy as you have ever been, this will reverberate throughout other probabilities - you are also, then, experiencing and feeling this happiness, in one form or an other, at age 5 or 5 years from now.

Those events, thoughts, experiences, etc., with a strong gravity thumbprint can be easily used as springboards to other similar probabilities. A good analogy would be driving. The weaker events form dirt roads whereas the stronger ones highways and superhighways. The strong events are easier to use as "pivot points" *because* they're so relative to many other probabilities, connecting to so many other probabilities.

If you wanted to experience probabilities related to the White House in 2002, for example, it would probably be easiest to focus on the September 11, 2001, event and then think about relative probabilities of the White House rather than focusing first on 2002 and then the White House (because there is no 2002, only context-relative probabilities; and thinking about the past/present/future with nothing to hang on to will steer you far off course).

Using these kinds of "landmarks", it is easy to find alternate probabilities relative to your own. Not all probable September 11, 2001s have the destruction of WTC in them. In some, for example, a plane flew close overhead and hit an antenna. In others, there never was a WTC. Focusing on the one that you best imagine will allow you to experience probabilities that are more relative to your own rather than a load of other probabilities that don't make sense.

It is the way in which we navigate our *own* probability, right now, and surely helps us navigate others. (Notice how you will gather your bearings when waking up from a deep sleep. "Where am I?" or "Who am I?" is very useful in grounding oneself.)

So, any major event, thought, etc., is a pivot point from which to experience other realities.

This is much of the reason why there's so much supernormal activity surrounding major events (or other things with a high gravitational thumbprint, like famous persons, giant planets, ideas, etc). So many are using them as gateways to other probabilities of time/space.

Lesson 5: How to get a time machine delivered to your door, in three easy steps! (Part One)

I've previously mentioned that the evolution of the internet will lead us to far more advanced technologies and understandings, notably what we would now call time travel (see page 1 of this thread regarding FTP). Many of these technologies are actually mental tools or augment pre-existing mental processes. Today's sociologists are already beginning to understand how widespread usage of the internet, "windows" and icons, etc., are changing the architecture of the human brain, rewiring it as it were, and changing the way we interact with our environment and reality.

This lesson is about helping you to further develop these mental tools that allow you to perceive varied other dimensions in your experience. It is not fantasy, or a "dream world". Though I have said that "time travel" is indeed possible without a machine, in the traditional use of the word, I do not mean to say that time travelers simply dream about different probabilities, as if it were some kind of hallucination. The probabilities of which I speak are as real as banging your head against the wall.

Allow me to further illustrate a method by which you can create a new kind of machine, much as a programmer can create a new program to perform a task. Except this machine is actually a powerful tool in your mind, and the programming is automatic.

Let's start by working with something we know well already, the world wide web. We are now able to open a browser window and type in an address that we know or select a link, and be transported to that location where we can experience what is there and/or select other links that will transport us to other locations. These locations are as real as your physical experience, but are not the same kind of reality. Your experience on the internet does not necessitate the experience of physical probabilities, so you therefore do not experience it. Many of us consider our non-physical experience on the internet more real than our non-physical dream experience, which is quite interesting.

A time machine is like a web browser. One begins with a mental tool, which functions as the "probability browser" to then link to other probabilities from the current one.

I will teach you how to fashion this probability browser in your conscious thoughts so that you can begin to consciously experience other probabilities. These probabilities are, of course, as real as the one you are experiencing now. You already have this "probability browser" in your mind. You just may not know it yet.

Your probability browser's "default page" is your what you consider your identity. Each of your selves in each probability has its own default probability. The goal here is not to consciously change the default at any time, because then you are simply changing your identity and wouldn't then know that you had done so.

The goal here is to browse and experience the timespace web, consciously.

First continue to imagine (and understand) this "probability browser" in your mind, and then I will begin the first step of the lesson.

From the default identity you can connect to any other probability that you could ever imagine. Your current experience is a portal to all other experiences. (See holographic universe explanation prior to this lesson.) From the chair in which you sit you can readily experience every probability that is highly relative to it (such as the makers of the chair, or other persons who have sat there, or the life of the comprising compounds), and also experience every probability that is moderately or somewhat relative to it (although this is a bit more difficult).

As an example, you open up your probability browser mindware and see, on the extensive default page, your current identity. Your identity just isn't what you think your name is and where you came from, and how much money you have in the bank. Your identity is comprised of all the things in your experience. If there's a smudge of crap on the floor, it's part of your identity and is as much a part of you as anything else is. Your reality changes just as your body changes. You could even say that your current reality is your *real* body, and you would not be mistaken.

So, on your default page (your current probability) you see the chair in which you sit, in all of its dusty glory. "Click" on this chair to experience that probability in more detail much the same way you would click on a link on a webpage to do the same.

Is it a surprise that you transcend space when you're browsing the internet? Could anyone have imagined in 1860 that it would be possible to transport a file from New York to China in less than a second? We don't really think about this. It's second nature now. In most futures from ~this probability the experience of time travel (using mental probability browsers) is as second nature as the experience of space travel (using web browsers). The difference is that one transports you through space in the current time, and the other transports you through time in the current space. (Just as your consciousness is not actually transported through space when you use the internet, your consciousness does not actually move through time when you time travel. Time/space is an illusion, as you know by now. If you run, do you actually think you're moving from one physical space to the next?)

The first step of this lesson involves physical labor! As I mentioned before, it involves the magical piece of paper (the "towel" for all you Hitchhikers) and a writing instrument. The lesson should be of great assistance to you in bringing your probability browser to the forefront of your conscious mind. (Truly, the entire mind is conscious. Each is most conscious in its own probability. When you're dreaming, who do you think you call the sub-conscious? But here I will use consciousness and its ilk for ease of illustration.)

On this sheet of paper you will draw a pretty flower. A lotus flower. But don't let your friends make fun of you because you're drawing cutesy little pictures. This image will get your motors running. It is the externalization of the probability browser into your physical reality. IE, it will help your physically-oriented consciousness get used to the idea of your time-traveling ass. Once again, this is an exercise to merge what you consider your physical experience with more abstract concepts. Physically making a representation of a probability browser will certainly do the trick.

Start with the middle of the lotus flower, which is your current probability. From here, let's imagine the 5 most relative probabilities you can experience from this point. Think about it. "Where will this moment take me?" Don't write the word "Now" in the center circle because your now is all ways changing. Just put a marker in it which succinctly describes your current probability. If you have to go pee and are wearing a bathrobe, put in "In bathrobe and have to pee". You get the idea. You're not looking to capture the exact probability's uniqueness, but a generalization will do.

The first petal of the lotus will be a probability that is relative to your current one. Let's mark that one "In bathrobe after I pee in bathroom". Do the same when you draw the other petals of the flower that represent other probabilities. Make those probabilities that you feel are more relative connect more with the center circle than others that you feel aren't as relative. The "I pee in bathroom" circle, for example, is more contained within the center one than "I pee on myself". You might laugh at the image of you peeing on yourself, but the conscious choosing of less-relative experience is one of the next lessons. ("Do something crazy" will exercise your ability to access your probability browser. Indeed, "traveling through time" is pretty darn crazy.)

After drawing several more probability circles that connect to your current one, you may decide that your existence is quite boring, having only experienced those realities which are logical to your current one. But realize that the center circle in one way or another allows you to connect with every other probability in existence. Some are more relative, some are less. Those that are more relative are 'closer' to your current probability and are, thus, much easier to experience than those that aren't.

You will, most likely, go to the bathroom in the next few moments, not suddenly land on mars. However, both experiences are possible. The latter just requires a bit of mastery of a few exercises. (I heard one of you say, "But Mars is all the way over there". How quickly we forget the illusion of timespace. Instead, the question is relativity. You go to Mars by making it relative to your experience, no matter what. An astronaut may take years of NASA training to make this experience relative, the same way you make the experience of going to the bathroom relative by taking the steps to get there. Both tasks are equally difficult.)

All probabilities are experienced. But which one will your identity experience?

You will experience those that you choose. This is obvious, of course, but is it obvious in practice?

Part of this lesson was that period of time between which I stated that this is the next lesson and when it actually appeared. A few of you were awaiting this lesson to appear.

Oftentimes we await our realities to occur. This is a very important point. Is it why most of us experience only those probabilities that are most relative. Our probabilities change via the small forces of momentum gathered from our memory.

Instead of creating the next lesson for yourself in some way, you waited for it to happen. It finally did, of course, in your experience, but would you be surprised to know that others experienced it sooner and in different ways? How soon (how much) does your probability tension break? This is the nature of endless probabilities.

I mentioned previously that by 'working small' you can provide the impetus necessary to alter your probabilities of experience. The astronaut who does not want to wait X number of years to perhaps go to Mars can start now, in his/her own backyard, creating and drawing that reality into their experience.

Do not wait for your desired probability. Find it, somehow, in your current one. If your dream is to have a big house, then draw it on a piece of paper. Build a model. Take a drive to where it's going to be. Use your imagination. Do something relative to it. This will draw your experience of the 'big house' closer to your reality so that you will not only experience it sooner but in much greater possibilities.

You do not create your reality, per se. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. All probabilities and experiences exist already. We experience the next moment not because that is the direction time flows in but because that next moment is a relative probability. That "next moment" also includes probabilities that we consider our past, as well.

You will need a piece of paper larger than the universe to draw all of the circles of probability that you experience. However, you only need to concern yourself with whatever relative probabilities you draw near. More specifically, those surrounding your "center circle".

Lesson 5, Step 1, above, should give you some idea of the nature of probabilities and gives you some starter mental tools to work with. Without the mental tools that we already use, we'd have no science and mathematics, language, or indeed technology, among many other aspects of our humanity.

Mental tools continue to evolve in ways that we cannot currently imagine. Hopefully, we will use the tools that avail themselves in responsible ways that are conducive to our continued understanding of the whatever existence or absolution that lay just beyond our imagination.

Obviously, an inside job for which Tony Blair wants no government inquiry
.

A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running a drill exercise for an unnamed company which revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as was happening in real life on July 7th, BBC Radio 5 has revealed.

Of course people will fall for this, again, just like they did nearly 4 years ago.

Iran, anyone?

I sit here writing this post in my newly-adopted head-quarters, some other (herewith unspecified) country besides the United States (see two posts down).

Yes, I have left the country for good.

Why?

Because of shit like 1 post down. Because the country that I knew and loved has, over the past several years, changed beyond recognition, and I'm not about to wait around and "see what happens" (I had that attitude after Bush in 2000). The events surrounding September 11th confirmed to me that new rules were now in place. 2005 is no different, and 2006 doesn't look promising, either.

People are slowly beginning to wake up from being boiled alive like the proverbial frog, but I have already decided that too little action too late is not good enough. The same lethargic behaviour is pervasive throughout the population - what kind of wake up call does it need, I wonder?

I know a lot of people "back home" who are considering a move outside of the country for similar reasons. A changed environment can do that to you, even if it's on a national level. It's gotten to the point of ridiculousness, but the real ridiculousness is that most people don't seem to mind.

Some of you may even wonder, "well, what the hell are you talking about?"

(Exactly.)

Funny thing is, I've met several people here already, from the US, who have done the same thing that I have, for similar reasons.

Crazy? Perhaps. But continuing to reside in the good ol' USA is crazy and illogical. I will continue to miss the country that I knew and loved. But, as is said, even Rome fell.

Falling for this shit again...

As I sit in my office today, I hear the whispers of co-workers now utterly convinced our war on terror must continue. Despite American and British involvement in the Middle East birthing wave after wave of rebel forces, the Bush doctrine is now justified in the minds of millions. Petty grievances such as the Downing Street Minutes, the President's flagging support and Karl Rove's treasonous outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame [emphasis yo mama] are unimportant. A shadowy conglomeration is out to kill us.

Sound familiar? It should ? the same emotional ploy was used to great effect on Americans in the wake of September 11th. Question nothing, particularly your cries for vengeance or that nagging feeling in the back of your head. Justice delayed is justice denied.

People are so gullible.

In case you are wondering where the hell I've been (you do care.. don't you!) I've been scouting out a new location for my personal headquarters.

As in.. re-location someplace outside of the United States.

(Now why would I want to do that?)

The US is just not "fun" anymore.

The recent 7.0-7.4 earthquake off of the coast of California demonstrates that the SE Asia region isn't the only one that's active.

Potential earthquakes on the Puente Hills fault beneath the Los Angeles area could result in 3,000 to 18,000 fatalities, 142,000 to 735,000 displaced households, and more than $250 billion in total damages, according to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) research.

When Marine recruiters go way beyond the call

By SUSAN PAYNTER; SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST

For mom Marcia Cobb and her teenage son Axel, the white letters USMC on their caller ID soon spelled, "Don?t answer the phone!"

Marine recruiters began a relentless barrage of calls to Axel as soon as the mellow, compliant Sedro-Woolley High School grad had cut his 17th birthday cake. And soon it was nearly impossible to get the seekers of a few good men off the line.

With early and late calls ringing in their ears, Marcia tried using call blocking. And that?s when she learned her first hard lesson. You can?t block calls from the government, her server said. So, after pleas to "Please stop calling" went unanswered, the family?s "do not answer" order ensued.

But warnings and liquid crystal lettering can fade. So, two weeks ago when Marcia was cooking dinner Axel goofed and answered the call. And, faster than you can say "semper fi," an odyssey kicked into action that illustrates just how desperate some of the recruiters we?ve read about really are to fill severely sagging quotas.

Let what we learned serve as a warning to other moms, dads and teens, the Cobbs now say. Even if your kids actually may want to join the military, if they hope to do it on their own terms, after a deep breath and due consideration, repeat these words after them: "No," "Not now" and "Back off!"

"I?ve been trained to be pretty friendly. I guess you might even say I?m kind of passive," Axel told me last week, just after his mother and older sister had tracked him to a Seattle testing center and sprung him on a ruse.

The next step of Axel?s misadventure came when he heard about a cool "chin-ups" contest in Bellingham, where the prize was a free Xbox. The now 18-year-old Skagit Valley Community College student dragged his tail feathers home uncharacteristically late that night. And, in the morning, Marcia learned the Marines had hosted the event and "then had him out all night, drilling him to join."

A single mom with a meager income, Marcia raised her kids on the farm where, until recently, she grew salad greens for restaurants.

Axel?s father, a Marine Corps vet who served in Vietnam, died when Axel was 4.

Clearly the recruiters knew all that and more.

"You don?t want to be a burden to your mom," they told him. "Be a man." "Make your father proud." Never mind that, because of his own experience in the service, Marcia says enlistment for his son is the last thing Axel?s dad would have wanted.

The next weekend, when Marcia went to Seattle for the Folklife Festival and Axel was home alone, two recruiters showed up at the door.

Axel repeated the family mantra, but he was feeling frazzled and worn down by then. The sergeant was friendly but, at the same time, aggressively insistent. This time, when Axel said, "Not interested," the sarge turned surly, snapping, "You?re making a big (bleeping) mistake!"

Next thing Axel knew, the same sergeant and another recruiter showed up at the LaConner Brewing Co., the restaurant where Axel works. And before Axel, an older cousin and other co-workers knew or understood what was happening, Axel was whisked away in a car.

"They said we were going somewhere but I didn?t know we were going all the way to Seattle," Axel said.

Just a few tests. And so many free opportunities, the recruiters told him.

He could pursue his love of chemistry. He could serve anywhere he chose and leave any time he wanted on an "apathy discharge" if he didn?t like it. And he wouldn?t have to go to Iraq if he didn?t want to.

At about 3:30 in the morning, Alex was awakened in the motel and fed a little something. Twelve hours later, without further sleep or food, he had taken a battery of tests and signed a lot of papers he hadn?t gotten a chance to read. "Just formalities," he was told. "Sign here. And here. Nothing to worry about."

By then Marcia had "freaked out."

She went to the Burlington recruiting center where the door was open but no one was home. So she grabbed all the cards and numbers she could find, including the address of the Seattle-area testing center.

Then, with her grown daughter in tow, she high-tailed it south, frantically phoning Axel whose cell phone had been confiscated "so he wouldn?t be distracted during tests."

Axel?s grandfather was in the hospital dying, she told the people at the desk. He needed to come home right away. She would have said just about anything.

But, even after being told her son would be brought right out, her daughter spied him being taken down a separate hall and into another room. So she dashed down the hall and grabbed him by the arm.

"They were telling me I needed to ?be a man? and stand up to my family," Axel said.

What he needed, it turned out, was a lawyer.

Five minutes and $250 after an attorney called the recruiters, Axel?s signed papers and his cell phone were in the mail.

My request to speak with the sergeant who recruited Axel and with the Burlington office about recruitment procedures went unanswered.

Alas. Someone is taking the bird flu threat seriously enough to start a blog about it.

Too bad we suffer from other, unnamed, psychological ailments that prevent us as a society from thinking critically about H5N1 (and everything else that smells bad, for that matter).

Ever wonder what 120,000 cows look like from space? The Coalinga, California, feedlot serves beef for McDonald's, among other places.

From Sprol:

You'll note that there is no shade, shelter, or grass on the ground. Cattle are ruminants, meaning that they would primarily graze on grass. Cattle in feedlots, however, are fed grain, and are often implanted with a series of steroid hormone implants inserted under the skin behind their ears. It makes them grow faster and can increase profit by $80 per steer. That this has the effect of poisioning the water, as well as every burger eater who snarfs one, is a fact that millions of dollars per year go to supressing.

mmmm.. de-licious!

Are people really falling for this hoax?

Transatlantys (or Transatlantis, Transatlantic): A tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, through which trains would pass, from New York to Paris, they say, at a cost of "several trillions of euros".

Several trillions is right, but who the fuck would be crazy enough to build such a thing? Even at a cost of "only" $200 billion no one would touch such a project after the EuroTunnel experience (a $15 billion undetaking).

Edging closer to a draft.

As in, mandatory.

More young men are choosing not to volunteer which, obviously, puts any war plans in a precarious position.

Spinsters are looking for a way to sell this, I'm sure.

They'd call it something new, give it a new face, and young people will line up again. (Or so they hope.)

A lot of talk about new types of memory and storage, but not enough hard core action!

Samsung has designed a new system based on flash memory chips that could replace current hard disks.

By replacing current mechanisms with SSD, the drives will have a five times lower power consumption rate, half the weight, reading and writing speeds of 57Mbps and 32Mbps respectively ? indicating a 150% increase ? and better stability and data protection. Other advantages include less heating and no noise.

No matter how hard the media tries to be PC, they can't seem to get over their obsession with wealth and beauty.

California mansions wrecked in landslide!

Beautiful young girl missing!

Wealthy businessman killed!

Oh my god!

I guess that just reflects what people most want to hear about. (Tornados ripping through trailer parks is more entertainment, and doesn't count.)

We'd never see...

Old woman missing (cue picture of dog)!

Homeless man killed!

Guy nobody would miss goes missing!

It..er... snowed in Somalia recently... on the ground.

Are they even prepared for cold weather?

The first snowfall on this part of the world has claimed one life and caused extensive damage to properties. Puntland, northeastern part of Somalia has never recorded snowfall before last night when snow storms with high winds destroyed homes in Rako town.

The storm left a blanket of snow on the ground, something residents had never seen in their lives before. Aside from this unexplained snowfall on this tropical land, Somalia has experienced very strange weather in the past few months.

Floods killed people and forced rivers to overflow banks in almost all parts of the country. Many cities from Hargeisa in the north to Baladweyn in central were affected badly by heavy rains and floods. Many people were killed and thousands of livestock washed away by this strange weather. The country is still struggling to recover from last month?s killer weather.

With no effective central government, Somalia doesn?t have weather prediction or climate monitoring systems in place. Somalis think this unusual weather and last night?s previously unheard of snowfall are part of the global warming phenomena

Tom Cruise and Steven Speilberg being Scientologists wouldn't stop them from making a movie to promote their ideas.

What's wrong with Tom Cruise coming out and just being gay? Is he afraid that it would hurt his career? Why the fuck does he want to pretend to be so in love with some woman? The dude never could act...

Spielberg is playing right along with it. To hype the film and revive their faltering careers, of course, all the while promoting some religious fundamentalism that some dead guy came up with a few years ago.

All this to make them relevant again? Why not.

Here's a recent interview with them both:

SPIEGEL: In the past, for example when "Mission: Impossible" (1996) came
out, German politicians called for a boycott of your movies. Are you worried that your support for Scientology could hurt your career?

Cruise: Not at all. I've always been very outspoken. I've been a
Scientologist for 20 years. If someone is so intolerant that he doesn't want to see a Scientologist in a movie, then he shouldn't go to the movie theater. I don't care. Here in the United States, Scientology is a religion. If some of the politicians in your country don't agree with that, I couldn't care less.

Spiegel: Do you think "War of the Worlds" is a religious movie? H.G. Wells praised the wisdom of the creator for creating even bacteria, because in his story the microbes are the ones who finally finish off the aliens. The 1953 movie version even moved the final showdown inside a church.

Spielberg: I think people will either find their personal beliefs confirmed, or they won't. But in particular, they'll be scared and duck under their seat and say afterwards that it was a great experience. We both consciously decided not to end this movie inside a church, a synagogue or a mosque.

I had no idea Spielberg could say such stupid things.

Crime wise, the US in #8 for total crimes per capita.

Does it feel great to be in a country safer than Denmark, the UK, Finland, New Zealand, and Chile!

Too bad the religious nuts populating (and running) this country are running it right into the ground.

The US has a lot of people. The size of its population is largest in the world, after China and India.

Everyone knows that we spend a lot of money on the military. But did you know that, per capita, Israel spends the most, at $1466.51 per person?

In second place is Singapore, tiny country that it is. It spends $969.92 per person.

The US comes in at number 3 with an expenditure of $953.01 per person. Cost wise, we spend more than everyone else in the world combined. But, hey. We can afford to, right?

Heck, we might even be spending 125% of total tax revenues in 2015.

The U.S. military is considering allowing regional combatant commanders to request presidential approval for pre-emptive nuclear strikes against possible attacks with weapons of mass destruction on the United States or its allies, according to a draft nuclear operations paper.

[Article]

Can you imagine if other countries adopted our policies? We'd call them terrorists.

Who has more "weapons of mass destruction" than the United States of America?

Let's play, "He who thinks they are more right, strikes first."

Fucking religious nuts.

How far will the Doctrine of the Crazy Fools take us?
