Alice the Triangle,
Bob the Square and Charlie the Hexagon were out for a walk.
Today they went a different way.
They normally went sideways and to the right first,
But today they went left and sideways for the first time.
After a while they turned left again longways,
And planned to keep going left so they would end up back home.
Alice,
Bob and Charlie lived in Flatland,
Where there was no up,
Just sideways and longways.
An observer from Cubeland had spotted they deviated and decided to have some fun.
He popped two fingers into Flatland and plucked Bob out for a few seconds and then popped him gently back in.
From the perspective of Alice and Charlie,
It looked like Bob had disappeared.
Bob,
However,
Who had briefly seen the glory and splendour of Cubeland,
Wondered if that extra shot of coffee had been a good idea.
The Jesuit priest and philosopher,
Teilhard de Chardin,
Described our existence like this.
We are not humans on a spiritual journey,
But spirits on a human journey.
We live in a three-dimensional Cubeland and experience our lives with a forward arrow of time.
A higher dimensional intelligence looking into our Cubeland would be able to see all instances of us for all the times in our lives.
Cosmologists and quantum physicists postulate that higher dimensions are wrapped up in our four-dimensional space-time.
This is nothing new.
The mystic sages and adepts who designed the Tarot encoded pictorially a description of humans as nine-dimensional beings having a three-dimensional experience.
Our sense of reality includes thought forms and experiences which emanate from these higher worlds.
When we enter the meditative state,
We can access these higher dimensions and as a result,
See across time.
This means we can access not only the past,
But with a little practice,
The future too.
So breathe in,
And breathe down.
Tapping into future memories just requires us to have an active imagination.
Indeed,
This might just be what imagination is in the first place.
The first step is to think back in your life to all those times when you've experienced lightbulb moments.
Then imagine that you are sending these ideas back from the you in the now to those versions of you in the past.
For the next step,
Every time a thought or enlightenment comes in that you were not expecting,
Just remember to thank a future version of you for sending it.
By taking these two simple steps,
You set up causal time loops that will save you loads of time.
The future you knows what you need to know and do right now so you can evolve into that future version of you.
I hope this hasn't tied you in too many temporal knots.
