What is time?
QUESTION: Can you explain more about the nature of time? Perhaps an example can be useful. I know time is simultaneous but it is still a concept. How do you experience time? ~Amrith
ANSWER: Time is a word that has many meanings on Earth. It basically describes a measurement used to understand a concept, such as how long it will take to grow an edible plant, or to travel from one spatial location to another. The premise is that these matters have a finite duration rather than an infinite one. You also have to be able to see the object in order to measure its movement and period of existence.
Humanity goes even further by recording past, present, and future occurrences using these measurements. When one talks about how long (in time) it took to get from one place to another in the past, how much shorter a period of time it takes now, and how it will be instantaneous in the future, one is using examples of time and, in the same instance, recording what one perceives as progress.
The soul and the energy around it that comprises the universe, are both infinite and therefore have no beginning, middle, or end points, so time does not exist for them. They are present in all that you on Earth see as time and in everything that has happened since your “time” began.
If a soul has experienced a human life and later wants to talk about the experience, it may do so in two different ways. Since time does not exist for the soul, it may concentrate its consciousness on the experience, and in so doing, jump back into the body and relive the exact moment in Earth time. Also, since the soul is not confined to a physical container (the body), it may split itself so it has all of its memories and knowledge intact, and reenter the body (where it has amnesia) with just a part of itself. The soul will still be able, with the remainder of itself, to monitor all aspects of the lesson the body has chosen to learn.
We experience time by being everywhere at once. We are in your past, present, and future. We are in all locations at once. We observe time by observing the changes that occur in each of you as you are affected by the passage of time on your planet. We are able to slide from one of your time periods to another to see what choices you make and how they play out. You may look upon it as possessing an embedded recording device that has everything that has been, is, or will be. We merely scroll through to watch your life.
