Time travel

A classic question is: Can time travel exist without mucking up the present? Or, can the the past be changed, even if you exist in the present? These are interesting questions that tends to make the muck even muckier. Mucky or not, lets see if there are some productive thoughts...

Time lines are really tied to the position of the observer. For instance, time lines in the past seems to be closer together that time in the present. Time goes fast or slow depending upon how busy or interested we are in a project. Or, In a bit more esoteric vein, Einstein shows how time is compressed or expanded depending upon how fast the observer or traveler is moving. In addition, meditative states exist where time doesn’t seem to exist.

It is the meditative perspective that interests me.

Whenever a certain meditative elevation is reached, a profound sense oneness exists. Everything in the universe is touchable instantaneously. This creates a perspective that time is nonexistent. In fact, at least for me, the only movement that I notice is an expansion of awareness.

The bottom line for me fits into the category of I don’t give a never mind about the physical aspects concerning time travel. The reason is that timeless sojourners in meditation are real to me. Who is to say that the meditative awareness is not real and the consciousness awareness is only apparent?

Indeed, there are very useful meditative techniques that look at the past, change it and then move into the future without being encumbered by the past perspective.

Now if there was only a way to test time travel in the physical, conscious world...

What do you think?
