Contemporary Creative Nonfiction Inspirational

"We need to stop & think for a bit on what this discussion is about. It is not so much about time travel as it is about your mind; that thing that has a dedicated, hard-lined connection to the Universe/Source/God. In Australian aboriginal culture is the notion of Dreamland. Dreamland is according to tradition, the ancient place where (the) God(s) dreamed our world into reality."

"God created us in the Image of God. That image is nothing short of a CREATOR. Maybe you knew that, maybe you didn’t. But I bet my favourite T-shirt that you never thought about recreating reality in the past. Hang on for a while and I will get to that too. It is a fascinating story."

"Your Mind is a Powerful Tool for Traveling Through Time and Space and Affecting Past, Present and Future."

"Now we can start talking about using your mind for time travel. Finally!!!"

"MEMORY AND OUR PAST"

"One thing Quantum Mechanics agrees on is that there may not be a single, agreed-upon human or world history. If each of us creates our own present and can affect our own futures, we also have a different perspective on our own pasts. You will realize that as you go over your memories of life events, you cannot recall a stream of events; you recall short segments or ideas or pictures, but no real ‘movie’ that lasts any length of time. But, those memories preserve the energy of those events, and so they now participate in what happens in your present. If those memories disappear, so do influences they bring to forming the present and future."

"MEMORY AND OUR FUTURE"

"In the same vein, what ideas we plant into co-creating our futures create an energy pattern or signature in the future. It is that pattern that now begins to create energy for their completion. The now begins to meet the then in the future. The more fluid, passionate and complete your pattern is as you are dreaming it into the quantum field or void, the more complete your manifestation will be. The stronger the connection between your past recollections and the future you are creating, the more powerful your co-creation."

"DISAPPEARANCE OF THE UNIVERSE"

"If we stopped remembering our past and stopped dreaming up our future, we remove those energy signatures from the void. In theory, then what happens is the energy that holds the past, and future will begin to disintegrate and the universe will vanish. As your past and future destabilize, there is little to keep the pattern of the present."

"THE PARADOX OF HUMAN AND SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE"

"While we are all busy exploring our higher-level chakras, we are focusing on our ‘out there’ (the world around us) and focusing less on our ‘in here’ (the mind). While in the ‘out there’, we are exploring higher realms at the expense of our ‘in here’. We destabilize our physical world at the expense of summoning our higher selves. In contrast, while we focus on the physical world, the ‘out there”, we strengthen the physical signature of our world, but our higher self or ‘in here’ begins to lose its footing. Like with all things, balance seems to be the key to spiritual and physical existence."

"BACK AND FORTH IN THE MIND"

"We know we can affect the future through programmation. What we seldom consider that this time machine allows us to go into the past, into our memories; there is a real purpose in our ability to travel there. Our mind’s ability to travel into the past is not only about visiting a fondness or sorrows from our past; it is about visiting to heal the past."

"The past cannot be altered, but the energy of the past can be altered from a poor status to a healed status. Energies of fear, anger, hate, misunderstanding, and jealousy can all be transformed into energies of love, peace and reconciliation."

"RETHINKING OUR PERSONAL ROLES"

"When it comes to all of us (the world), it is important to recognize that our Oneness, (the collective universal mind) is individuated in such a way that we all see the same thing differently. Here are some concepts to consider: The observer and the observed are not separate; they are opposite sides of one coin. Interchangeable! The same ‘movie’ (life around us) is seen by all of us, but is perceived differently by each of us. Because that is true, we form different opinions of how the ‘out there’ affects the ‘in here’."

"We forget that we formulate and program of the ‘out there’; not the other way around. When we feel that the world is doing something to us, we must remember that we are doing something to it! We are creating our universe."

"The ‘in here’ creates the ‘out there’. Or “As above, so below” in Biblical parlance." 

"THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT – AN INTERESTING CHAPTER"

"I will now introduce the notion of one’s ability to influence the past, acknowledging that many will find the idea of the present influencing the past as being either trite or novel. If we take the common approach when thinking about this, we all resort to the old saw that the victor in any battle writes the history books, but that is not what I am talking about. That is trivial."

"But what if we look at this differently and see a very different perspective of the present influencing the past? What if we take a novel approach, that demands we really can influence critical parts of our history from the present?"

"In McTaggart’s book The Intention Experiment, there is a chapter that describes a healing. I am recalling this story from memory, since of course I cannot find the book, now that I need it. The story goes something like this:"

"Hospital patients in a hospital in Israel are randomly divided into two groups. The patients themselves know nothing of this experiment or that there are two groups of patients; they are just patients as far as they themselves are concerned."

"A prayer group prays for members of Group A. The prayer group only knows that it is praying for a number of people on a list and is not aware of any experiment. Group B are controls who receive no prayer and they are unaware of any experiment. They too are just patients in a hospital."

"The experiment is concluded after some period of time. What is interesting is that Group A people (receiving prayer) show a better profile of healing and recovery than those in Group B (not receiving prayer) after the experiment concluded."

"This in and of itself is not the interesting part. What is interesting is that the prayer was done 20 or more years in the future, relative to when the patients were in the Israeli hospital. For example, the patients were living in the 1960s in this hospital, however the prayer group began praying for Group A in the 1980s."

"When the two groups’ members were revealed later on once the prayer sessions had concluded, it was shown that those who had a better recovery or survival back in the 1960s were those people who belonged to Group A, which received the benefit of prayer session in the 1980s. Remember though, that those praying only knew they were praying for a given list of people and did not know anything about another group for whom no prayer was offered. It was a blind-experiment."

"Here is clear evidence that the past can be influenced by the present or future. Not only is manipulation of the fabric of time possible, it is important and crammed with vast and unimaginable possibilities for what can be done about the present and as we now can see, about the past too."

"We have the potential to not only affect patients’ health in the past while working in the now. It is possible to heal a number of other scenarios from the past. What is critical though is to KNOW that this is possible. Without the KNOWING, there is no effect. This is an important ingredient in time manipulation. Like everything else you manifest, you must KNOW."

"KNOWING THAT YOU ARE THE MASTER OF THE YOUNIVERSE UNLEASHES THE POWER OF THE VOID TO MANIPULATE TIME AND SPACE." 

"I read this Lynne McTaggart book when it came out in 2008. I read this book with much sincere enthusiasm. I processed a lot of what I found interesting and forgot what did not resonate for me; we all do that. What is important is that all of what we really remember is clearly dependent on what catches our attention or personal interest. I read a chapter on influencing the past from the present. I found the notion of influencing the past fascinating and exciting. How can this possibility not be exciting??? OK... Now read this.... Only the future is certain. The past is always changing."

"You Hold All of the Cards in the Youniverse." 

"You know that you are the observer and that you think the universe into existence. When you think, you send energy into the void, the quantum field. The universe fashions your thoughts into the world you see around you, reflecting every quality of your thoughts. Think good thoughts and KNOW your thoughts have real power. The past, present, and future are connected, but they do not necessarily flow in only one direction. You knew before that you could affect the future through programmation. You now know that you can also affect the past creating opportunities to heal past situations, remake bad energy into good energy, and reverse the negativity from the past from influencing your present and future. The only thing that you have not been told thus far is that our world is doing things in the wrong order. Society is constantly told to act. “Action speaks louder than words” and all of that…. While that might be true, action does not speak louder than thoughts. Your actions only affect the things directly around you; the things you act on. Your thoughts affect the entire universe. Think of it! The whole universe, all of creation and the potential housed in the void all in your Mind." 

"The next time you think that you are powerless, think again. You are a creator like God, after whom you are fashioned!" 

"To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders Lao Tzu"

http://www.aromansse.com/gateway/newsletter/Time_Travel.pdf

According to legend, when he tried to leave China for the west riding a water buffalo (bovine), Lao Tzu or Laozi (both mean Old Master) was stopped by a border patrol, until he agreed to write Daodejing or Tao Te Ching.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Te_Ching and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi

In case you're wondering where I got the name Rajər, it was from Airplane. Those more mature than me can skip this, but, for the rest of us, here's Airplane's Abbot-and-Costello-like cockpit routine with Peter Graves as Captain Clarence Oveur, Kareem Abdul Jabbar as Roger Murdock, and Frank Ashmore as Victor Basta. Roger replies, "Hunh?" anytime a cockpit member says "Roger." Oveur replies, "What?" anytime a cockpit member says "Over." I suspect the final "Who?" is in tribute to Abbot and Costello's Who's on First routine.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg

"Two oh niner to Ground control. We're loaded and ready to taxi." "Two zero niner, taxi to runway one niner...Flight two zero niner, you're cleared for takeoff." "Roger." "Hunh?" "L.A. departure frequency one two three point niner." "Roger." "Hunh?" "Request vector. Over." "What?" "Flight two zero niner, clear for vector three two four." "We have clearance, Clarence." "Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?" "Tower's radioing clearance. Over." "That's Clarence Oveur." "Over." "Roger." "Hunh?" "Roger. Over." "What?" "Hunh?" "Who?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfDUkR3DOFw

This tale would not be complete without some time & space comments from the man who has more World Series records than anyone, New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, originally from St. Louis Missouri.

"It ain't over till it's over.

It's like déjà vu all over again.

It gets late early out here.

It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.

The future ain't what it used to be.

You can observe a lot by just watching.

If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him.

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours.

We made too many wrong mistakes.

Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.

I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

Never answer an anonymous letter.

Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting.

How can you think and hit at the same time?

I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.

If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.

We have deep depth.

Pair up in threes.

Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel.

You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

All pitchers are liars or crybabies.

Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

Bill Dickey is learning me his experience.

He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five.

I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads.

I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

In baseball, you don’t know nothing.

I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.

I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I’d never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest-high catch, and he never walked off the field.

So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face.

Take it with a grin of salt.

(On the 1973 Mets) We were overwhelming underdogs.

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.

Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training.

You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go.

I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine.

If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work.

If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.

A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know. I really didn't say everything I said.

I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary."
