MESSAGE TWENTY-ONE
ON THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT OF TIME
April 20, 1982
The following messages have been received today from the Most High.
What follows will be difficult to understand.
Today it is time to say something about the philosophical concept of
time. This concept can be considered one of the most mysterious and
least properly understood by people on Earth. The reason is that they are
in the externals of their mind. The rest of their mind is closed and put in
the mode of the unconscious. To understand time properly, one must be
in a full conscious awareness of one’s total mind. People on Earth utilize
only about five percent of their mind.
The external mind is capable of apprehending time only in a very
limited and a very narrow manner — by taking one small aspect of its
process and improperly generalizing from it to the entire time content.
Because the human external mind is adapted to the nature of the natural
degree and its physical laws, it has only one mode of thinking and
conceptualization — linear. From this linear mode, it attempts to
apprehend and conceptualize time. Thus, time is seen as a
straight-forward, one-directional continuous flow pictured as a straight
arrow pointed upward and forward. No other conceptualization of time is
discernible to the human external mind.
The problem with this conceptualization of time is that it forces one to
objectivize time, to consider it as a reality apart from the conscious and
apperceptual mode of existence.
Einstein was one of the first on Earth to notice the inconsistencies in
this conceptualization of time. He perceived correctly the relative nature
of time. In this respect conceptualization of time depends on one’s
position and state in the physical universe respective and relative to all
else.
But even this advanced theory of time relativity lacks
conceptualization other than a linear continuum. No other possibilities
are taken into consideration.
However, to properly understand the time phenomenon, it is
necessary to consider the following facts.
First, any ideas, thoughts, concepts, states and conditions are in their
process of becoming. This is always a subjective process. Projection of
ideas, thoughts, concepts, states and conditions into becoming can be
conceived and considered as an act of their objectivization from their
subjective states. Once they are manifested and actualized outside of the
subject, they continue both as subjects in themselves and as objects to
their subjective source. The latter part, becoming an object of their
subject, constitutes the linear aspect of the time phenomenon.
Second, the linear aspect of the time phenomenon is the end product
of the whole process and not its origination, continuation and/or the only
conceivable mode of being and existence.
Third, time can be better understood not as a linear continuum but as
a discrete, simultaneous and synchronous occurrence of events relative to
the content, quality and use of their originating source.
Fourth, physical manifestation of such ideas, thoughts, etc., in the
natural degree is determined by the corresponding spiritual factors
which establish their necessity and purpose of realization in the linear
mode of continuum which rules the physical universe in relativistic
categories. The linear mode of existence cannot produce in itself any
occurrences or events. By its nature, it can only receive them and
manifest them in the relativity of a linear time continuum.
Since there is no initiation and origination of anything in the physical
mode of being and existence, all determinations of occurrences,
proceedings and becomings take place in subjective states, processes and
conditions which are in no way bound to the linear aspect of time.
Therefore, it is up to the subject or a sentient entity or, in an ultimate
sense, the Most High to determine the best possible mode of projection
and manifestation of any idea in the most suitable moment of the linear
aspect of time.
Because of the complexity of time’s conceptualization, whenever a
message comes from the spiritual world to people on Earth, it always
comes in its discrete mode, as an idea, and it is then translated into the
categories of linear time of the physical continuum, distorting the proper
perception of the true moment of its positioning or appearance in the
natural degree. People in the spiritual world speak always in ideas,
states and processes of time which is never linear for them but discrete,
while people on Earth hear them in linear time elements and units which
are never discrete for them.
This is one of the major problems why proper, comprehensive and
meaningful communication between the spiritual world and the natural
world is so difficult, since people on Earth approach such a
communication from their external mind which is not aware of any other
mode of communication.
When the negative state was initiated by the pseudo-creators, it was
necessary to close any other understanding of time categories (for the
time being) so that changes of destinies, apart from the chosen aspects of
one’s personal destiny, could not take place.
The problem is that it is possible at will to influence the linear
manifestation of any event from its discrete, simultaneous and
synchronous mode of existence (if one knows how to do it). The
occurrence of any idea need not be synchronous with its manifestation in
the linear aspect of time. When an idea occurs it assesses the best
possible and the most useful beneficial time for its manifestation in the
linear continuum or physical universe and its relative time. Should it be
determined that such a manifestation would be best, for example, in the
remote part of its linear aspect, it is projected in the far past from its
occurrence in the discrete mode. This is a paradox of linear time — in
such a case it would have to conclude that manifestation of the idea in its
linear continuum took place many million years (for example) before its
occurrence as an idea in the subjective state. Such a situation is reflected
in a formulation of a famous paradox about the chicken and the egg.
Which came first — the chicken or the egg? Such a question can occur
only in the linear mode of thinking and time continuum. In reality, the
idea of a chicken and an egg occurs in a discrete mode of being and
existence and then it is projected into linear time at the time most
spiritually needed for the physical universe moment. In this linear sense,
both answers to that question are simultaneously correct and false. One
can manipulate the projection of ideas into the linear aspect of time in
such a manner as to confirm or deny both suppositions to that
hypothetical question about the chicken and the egg or anything else for
that matter.
Because of the complexity of time phenomena, when one considers
major spiritual ideas and their manifestation in the natural degree,
where laws of the physical linear time continuum apply, one should not
use or think in the categories of passing years, but rather of passing
eons. Whatever is said in time categories will always be only an
approximation of the true reality of any occurrence and not its precise
moment of actualization in the physical universe. So, when one hears
that something occurred on Earth, for example, 140 million years ago, it
does not mean it occurred in linear continuum of time at that particular
date but rather it means the kind of a spiritual correspondence which is
reflected in that number. Therefore the actual manifestation may or may
not be synchronous to that specific linear time. Usually it is not. For that
reason, it is better to speak in terms of eons rather than years, since it
takes that much time in the terms of physical linear time for a major
spiritual idea to be fully manifested, utilized and exhausted in the
natural degree.
One can conceptualize an eon as equaling approximately 90 million
years (more or less depending on the spiritual content, connotation and
universal impact it will have in the process of its linear manifestation in
the time continuum).
For that reason, when in “Fundamentals of Human Spirituality”,
other similar books, holy books, in these messages, etc., such time
categories are used, they are not used exactly in the literal sense. Rather
those numbers in years point toward occurrences of the relevant ideas of
described events in terms of their spiritual correspondence which may or
may not be approximate to actual physical time.
One must again and again remember that the occurrence of an idea
can be projected for its manifestation from a discrete mode into a
continuous mode at any moment of physical time in any continuum (past,
present or future, or combination thereof). So it is not surprising to find
that even though an idea occurred, for example, 140 million years ago, it
is decided for various important spiritual reasons to project its
manifestation into physical time several million years into the past of
continuum (or into the future or the present as the case may be). If one
converts those millions of years into eons, one can come to some
approximation of the real physical time of its projection and
manifestation. Thus the ideas are projected several eons into the past or
into the future or both. One eon on an all-universal scale can be
conceived as one day in terms relevant to time as measured on planet
Earth. To the universe 90 million years are like one day to the Earth.
But because one who produces such an idea is, in fact, that idea, or is
in that idea in one’s entirety, one projects oneself into its manifestation
into the physical or spiritual universe (or both) whatever the case may
be. In very remote and crude terms, this is something like humans’
concept of “time travel”. In order to be capable of such projections, one
would have to know the meaning of all laws of correspondences and their
manipulation. In this sense “time travel” is possible by the manipulation
of correspondences. However, the knowledge of correspondences and
methods of their manipulation was obliterated from the human mind
because of the negative state.
But this knowledge was available to the pseudo-creators. They used it
in the process of activation of their hoax of the cavemen. The idea of
cavemen occurred to them a long time before its actual realization in the
physical reality and linear time. It was estimated and determined by
them that the best and the most appropriate time for its projection into
the time-space continuum of the physical universe would be what
spiritually corresponds to 3 or 4 million years ago counting from our
present time. But realization of this idea in its concrete form, in order to
succeed, had to be preceded by many other events which needed to occur
in the physical past. For example, various natural and cosmic
catastrophes needed to happen first (such occurrences as splitting
Earth’s one continent into several continents) before this idea could come
to its fruition on the physical Earth. Yet it was too late for that because
the idea occurred within their own linear time. Also the actualization of
this idea, most importantly, had to be preceded by establishing first the
negative state in the form of the Hells in a discrete, simultaneous and
synchronous mode of the spiritual world’s being and existence. All these
negative ideas were occurring to the pseudo-creators at the closing phase
of their linear existence on Earth.
In order to succeed, the pseudo-creators projected these ideas into the
discrete mode of time and “jumped” backward two or three eons in linear
time, before the appearance of any people on Earth, and established their
Hells. In the process of this “jump”, by the nature of its process, they
obliterated all traces of their existence on Earth so it would seem as
though they never existed. From that position they then proceeded with
their plan of preparing, planting and staging various events on Earth
influencing and manipulating evolution of its species and plants and
altering Earth’s cosmic position which would culminate in an appearance
of a caveman. Thus, although all of these ideas occurred to them only at
the end of their eon, they were projected for actualization backward in
time two or three eons before their physical time and their actual
physical existence where these ideas started to exert influence on Earth’s
development. This is the reason why no valid scientific proof of their
existence is so far available to people. When one “travels in time”, so to
speak, one alters destiny.
The pseudo-creators were preparing another daring step in this
respect that would lead toward the alteration of the whole universe’s
destiny. To accomplish this would require many eons. In order to protect
Creation from such a fate, the Most High intervened and aborted all
their efforts in this respect. When the Most High, in the form of Jesus
Christ, entered the Hells after His crucifixion, He removed from the
pseudo-creators all and any knowledge and memory of such time
manipulation and restricted their sphere of influence to their own region
only.
Since that time, no knowledge of how to manipulate the discrete and
simultaneous modes of the time process has been available to any
humans on planet Earth or from Earth. This condition will exist while
the negative state and its Hells exist. Once its existence comes to an end,
it will be once more reactivated, restored and available for use for human
creative endeavor and for proper and right manifestation and projection
of their ideas of love and wisdom into the most appropriate and
spiritually feasible time-space continuum of linear existence.
However, such ideas of humans are currently utilized by the Most
High without people’s conscious awareness. They are projected and
manifested on the full spectrum of both a discrete and a linear mode of
time synchronicity and time continuum as needed, where needed, and
when needed.
At the present time, since the abolishment of the typical human era
in the intermediate world and its influence on all heavens of humans
from Earth, this knowledge and ability of time manipulation was given to
the members of the newly created heavenly society established and
activated by the Lord. This act has a very special purpose, meaning and
impact on human destiny. It is not discernible to humans in the external
mode of their present mind’s existence.
This is all that is permitted to be known about this subject at this
particular time.
