Time Travel

Pretend Time flows at the speed of a rifle bullet.

You fire the rifle and the bullet leaves the muzzle.

Running fast enough you begin to overtake the bullet.

When moving as fast as the bullet, to you, it's stationary.

Moving faster than the bullet, to you, it's retreating, going into the past, though to it, it's still moving forward at the speed of a rifle bullet.



That is a reasonable description of travel into the future and travel into the past, could one but do it.

To travel into the future, forward in time, move as fast as a bullet.

To travel back to the past, backward in time, move faster than a bullet.



All that is a reasonable description of travel in a three-dimensional body moving through the fourth.



Now, thought - being a 3force/dimensional flowing energybody - is ordinarily locked in the present, in the moment of it's arising. It is stuck in the moment. Thought, any language-based energyform, is stuck in the moment of it's arising, therefore stationary to the flow 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.



That is as reasonable a description of omniscience and omnipresence as one is likely to read.
