Paranormal experiences series: Time is an illusion or but yeah, you’re still late for that meeting.

Warning: Extreme metaphysical / spiritual information in this entry.  Avoid if not your cup of tea.

Last entry, we discussed how World of Warcraft can be used as a model for time-lines. In this entry, I plan to go into this further.

Free will is a concept that suggests that we may do anything we wish without restriction. (Though that doesn’t mean there are no consequences. Everything you do has an affect who you are and what happens.)

Free will allows us to experience whatever we choose. When we decide on a direction, all is set up on those higher astral levels where our main soul aspect are.

By astral level, I mean a higher (or lower) vibrational level, which may also be on what we term a different dimension. It’s basically, a place where what exists there is not solid to us. However, it is solid to those who are there. The higher the level, the faster and easier you can create something, but the less substance it has. (Which is why the third dimension is ideal for creating things that have real value and substance as it takes a lot more energy to manifest anything.)

On an even higher level, which is extremely high compared to our current one, the souls we are connected to, which you can consider your greater self, has all the knowledge and insight that will ever been needed in order for us to create and experience whatever we choose.

Sounds fantastical? Too many flaws in this premise?

I can’t blame you for thinking that.  Unless you have experienced something along those lines, it’s often very hard to accept it as possible or even fact.

To clarify I am basing my premise on the following assumptions.

  1. Time is an illusion. All things are happening right now.
  2. Which means all realities exist at the same time. The fact there is no time means everything must be happening right now. Only the illusion of time exists.
  3. We are literally all one. By that I mean, there is only one soul, and everything from it is an aspect of it. Hence, there is nothing to plan with anything outside of yourself, because the only person who is doing this is You. The illusion is that we are all separate from everything else. (Though an Empath will argue this isn’t so.)
  4. Nothing is random. Unless you choose it to be. You can experience randomness if you wish, but even that is a choice. For instance, you might say, there is no free will, and then experience that very reality because you have chosen it. Even not making a choice is making a choice.
  5. Separation is an illusion, but is needed in order to experience exactly who we are by being in the presence of what we are not. For instance, if you turn on a flashlight in broad daylight, on a sunny day, you won’t see it’s even on. Turn it on in the dark, and suddenly, you can see what a wonderful thing that light really is. (And in turn, the darkness which allows us to experience that light.)
  6. We have all of eternity to experience everything we wish in any way we want to. Hence, we can keep on coming back again and again, until we are done, and ready to move on to something different and new.

Now, all the above are certainly not my ideas. Such things have been spoken of many, many times. I am just using them in this context of time lines.

But there is something I have felt, that I haven’t come across elsewhere before.

There is a ‘Master You’.

By that I mean, while we experience all realities at the same time, there is one main You where the current focus is. You can see potential time lines, the probabilities, and experiences what could have happened, but didn’t, simply because you didn’t choose them.

It’s as though, you have sent out your Avatars to experience those probabilities conceptually as though you were doing a simulation.

For all intents and purposes, it has happened, but not to the Master You.

But all those Avatars, that have experienced those potential time-lines, return to You, and give you other experiences and insights that you might not have otherwise been able to obtain normally.

You can follow those time lines in your mind, and see what might have been.

For example, I’ve personally followed three potential paths that I could have had at various points in my life. I saw them unfold in my mind’s eye, and eventually saw how they ended.

For the record, they all ended badly. In two of them, I saw myself leaving my life (possibly to try again.)

Some time-lines you may not want to experience at all and you do not have to. It’s all to do with what we choose in the end.

Still, while this addresses one aspect of this subject, it doesn’t explain why we sometimes shift from one line to another.

I will attempt to address this next.

Next: What is attunement and how does it affect us?

Paranormal experiences series: You are an Avatar or is World of Warcraft a model for time-lines?

World of Warcraft

Most people nowadays have heard of World of Warcraft or (WoW), the massive multi player online role playing game (MMORPG).

The concept of time lines, dying and returning is a hard one to fathom. Word of Warcraft can help to illustrate some of the basic points.

To explain, for the uninitiated, it’s a role playing game where you choose your side, your character and then level it so you can enjoy many aspects of the content available.

WoW it set up so that the game is run on individual servers. There are 100s of identical copies of the gaming world (and each one has their own individual name. )

wow realm

I play on the alliance side on a server called Khaz’goroth, for instance

Now, in game, each server is exactly the same to play on, but each version of the server has its own set of people, interactions and even rules. Some are for role playing. Some are for player v player and some are for player v environment.

Regardless of what you choose, the same in game events happen. You can choose to indulge yourself in any of the many activities available, from pet battles to raiding.

And each time you try something, it might in a different way, especially when you’re trying to work out how to defeat an objective.

You could liken this to the time-lines I’ve been talking about. Each version is identical, but each time, events play out different (even if it’s just slightly), depending on what you choose to do, who you decide to do it with, and so on.

You can also decide you’re not happy on the server you are on, and decide to transfer. Everything will seem the same, but it won’t be. There will be subtle differences, including the feel and atmosphere of that server.

This is akin to shirting to another time-line, where the current only no longer suits your purpose.

Also, death has no real consequence. Worst is that it will cost you some gold for repairs, and delay you for a few minutes.

Should your character die, you just come back, over and over again, until you work out a way to win or avoid death.

wow dead

Though I’m using Word of Warcraft as an analogy here, it’s not a perfect one, but it helps to paint the picture.

In real life, you come back time and time again, trying different ways, making different decisions, and trying to work out how to experience or achieve the goals you have set for yourself.

But you may not be aware that this is happening. Or if you are, you will more than likely put it down to a faulty memory due to the fact that it doesn’t make any logical sense.

In World of Warcraft, you are fully aware of what needs to be done, and how to do it. (Or if you are not, you will work it out soon enough.)

You could liken that to what you refer to as your higher self being aware of what you need to do in order to achieve the goals you have chosen in this life. You may not be aware of it, but your greater self knows everything it needs to know in order to do the things you desire.

You are its Avatar.

Your higher self might even have more than one Avatar at the same time, which is also something you can do in World of Warcraft. (You can have up to 50 characters per account.)wow tital

But let’s not get too complicated here. Let’s look at how you are an Avatar, and how it all works.

Next: How you are an Avatar.
