Time Travel, part2

Regarding the idea, mentioned earlier, that "Thought, any language-based energyform, is stuck in the moment of it's arising, therefore stationary to the flow of Time":



That sentence has two viewpoints:

Thought is not stationary to the flow of time because then it would be moving at the same speed as time - like the man racing the bullet. Thought only appears to itself to be moving at the same speed, stationary.



Thought is actually retreating into the past from the point of view of Time - the speeding bullet. As one is talking or writing or reading, that moment is retreating into the past of that bullet. In a very real sense, talking - and thinking - is moving into the past. It's a slowing down in relation to the forward movement of time.



"Thought must discover a way to travel at the same speed as Time, and then overtake it. Access to all the future of thought and all the past of thought, is the totality of thought."



Thought, thought up the idea of time travel, and there was not, nor could ever be, the idea of time travel, without the first thought to think it. No *Body* alone could do it, no animal could imagine it, sans a brain.



Physical time travel, becomes possible with the advent of thought in the universe. Pre-thought, unthinkable. Post-thought, Do-able.



Thought should be able to facillitate the movement of physical bodies through time, and possibly even beyond time.
