CHAPTER SEVENSPECIAL SCIENCESCONCEPTS IN TIMEHere we want to take up and discuss the apparent conflicts between predictions of visionaries [likeJesus, e.g.] and the modern complete sciences dealing with temporal theory.From the distillations of essentially all ancient writings and religions and mystical societies we have theconcept of a limited duration Universe that we live in. The standard cycles are four ages preceded andfollowed by a creation phase and a dissolution phase. These cycles repeat.There was a point where there was no physical Universe. At that point, would it make any sense to say,"The physical universe is not created yet, but we plan to create it next week for sure."The term "next week" has no meaning. We are outside of time here. Time is a property of the physicalUniverse. It is not yet created. "Next week" means nothing at all.Now consider that the physical Universe exists. We say, again from the same perspective as beforeoutside of time, "The physical Universe exists, but it won't last much longer and will be dissolved 'soon'".The "soon" has the same meaning as "next week" - no meaning at all because it is an observation fromoutside of time.Consequently, when great Mystics, Teachers, Prophets, and the like receive revelations from outside oftime, they have some prediction of impending doom that will come "soon".All Mystics are in general agreement that the physical Universe does not last for an indefinite period andthat it is not a permanent place. Is it a big lie when - across the ages - respected teachers constantly saythat the Universe will end "soon". Well, not really - in fact, from their point of view it is absolutely correct.The mechanism of creation and dissolution is outside of time. It is not a time function and effects allpoints inside of time at the same moment. Consequently, if the dissolution would occur, people living inthe year 35 would say, "That guy Jesus that the government put down a couple of years ago was right -he said we had little time left and sure enough everything is falling apart !"People in present time would say, "The preacher on TV said it was almost the end of the world, and sureenough he was right cause there it goes !"People in the year 5000 would say, "Our ancient computer records show that a subversive named Jesussaid that our world would end and, sure enough, we don't know what's happening here and ourscientists are powerless to stop this !" The time machines will not operate. It is similarly incorrect toargue, "I hopped in my time machine and went to the year 2057. I observed that the Earth was still there,that there were people living on it, and that things looked OK. Therefore, I conclude that the "end of theworld" cannot be before the year 2057."This argument, like the others, misses the boat. The origin event and dissolution event for the Universehave no relation to time as observable inside the Universe. Dissolution, when it comes, comes for 1998,2057, 35, 5000b.c., etc. at the same moment - a moment that cannot be specified by any reference to"time".Now let's take a closer look at a "moment". A moment is a slice of time with no thickness - no quantity oftime is contained in a moment. However, there are at least two different things in a moment. One is thecreation event and the other is the dissolution event. These two events effect all time simultaneously.Therefore, our slice of time must contain them also. Additionally, if we are in a "moment" there is a thirdevent because we are there also. Creation and dissolution are opposite events, so there should be some"space" between them and we are somewhere between creation and dissolution so in our "moment" weshould be between these two events. The moment, then, represents a new vector which has a quality of"length" in its own way along a direction that we do not normally travel in our everyday world. So, onemight want to contemplate what else is in this fifth dimensional vector. What is on "the other side" of theMystical-ebook from site-T.E.X.T..doc Page 35 of 964 June 2008
