What is Happening to TIME???
by Ariel Spilsbury
So we now begin to remember (or rather re-enter) the timeless state we have such great familiarity with in our Essence. Like slipping between the hole in the worlds in dreams, not unlike the bathroom tiles you can see when you press and release the occipital muscle of the eyes or the moment before you pass out, drifting “out of control” (As if there ever really were any control!) These are entry points into the Mystery... drifting between points in a dream. In a dream recently I had a most uncanny experience of becoming a time traveler in colored serpent rope tunnels like at the end of the movie 2001..spinning out of control, ending in a place alone, much as that character had, to preview aspects of the self which were apparently left “unfinished”, “unattended”, “unfaced”, “unembraced” in the last incarnation.(meaning this incarnation). Which, from that view of the holodeck I appeared to have finished already in timelessness.. At first this was very confusing. Finally I recognized/groked that I seemed to have been released from the illusion of time. It was clear to me there was as much “time” as I needed to complete anything. I recognized and experienced the simultaneity of radial awareness existing in the Present Moment. Time didn’t feel like time as I had defined it. In that awareness I “felt” time something like when someone asks you to taste a bite of chocolate pudding but instead unsuspectingly gives you a bite of say, onion. I was aware of the difference of the feeling and aware that it had something to do with my expectations around time, but unlike the analogy, I couldn’t define what felt unlike “time” as I had previously experienced it. But being an intrepid explorer in consciousness.. I relaxed into the sensation even more.
First of all I observed that there seemed to be a difference in the ending of 2001 and my dream movie in that I found myself straining to hear or feel something seemingly just out of my comprehension, that would free me from going through the time tunnels again, and again. I wanted to call that something grace.. yet if it had to be reached for or comprehend it, it couldn’t be that. I struggled with grasping this feeling in the dream. I woke in a most agitated state and began to write as I do, for clarity.
What first occurred to me is that when dreaming we are in a spatially referenced, rather than time referenced reality... we are able to instantly metamorphose into several different forms and places simultaneously. Our body/ego’s however are presently identified with being in a time-referenced reality operating in the third dimension. Our body/ego’s have become attached to the apparently logical flow and sequencing of events. The ego uses form to stabilize and reassure itself that things are what they are expected to be. (ie the Alchemical dictum: As viewed, so appears!) Our consciousness, however uses Essence instead of form upon which to stabilize, operating more like in a dream state. From a spatially based perspective, form is not a very reliable means of stabilizing yourself, because in a spatial reality, you constantly change from moment to moment. No matter what storyline or character you are living out for your soul’s evolution, your Essence remains the same. Here seems to be the crux of the awareness in this situation: From this dream it appears as if we are moving into a spatially referenced reality with a long awaited focus on Essence rather than form! My body/ego perceives that I have no “control” over this transformational process of the alchemical change of the movie screen. Things around me seem more and more surrealistic and dream-like by the day. My sense of time seems to be warping. Things are indeed getting ‘curiouser’ and ‘curiouser’ as Alice in Alice in Wonderland observed. In fact, we actually seem, to be entering “Wonderland”. The impact of that fact is reverberating in our consciousness’ which startlingly seem to have been bred for such an event, and in fact those who have tuned in are in fact relishing the transformation. In our Essence, non-linear, non-causal, spatially referenced logic is actually what we are most familiar with. We have made decisions based on what our Essence and heart knowing told us to do, though those decisions often made no logical sense in a time-referenced reality base or to others around us. Spatial logic is always referenced to Essence and Essence is always connected and moving fluidly in alignment with Divine will, and with an overview that is not currently totally available to us in the third dimension.
Now as we move into a spatially oriented reality base, those who have chosen to follow their heart knowing have been in life-long training to stabilize solely around their Essence, flowing with the Divine plan unfolding, not taking so many clues from the apparent phenomenal reality outside of us. So in the enormous changes that are appearing on the screen of the outside world, we can now find ourselves in the eye of the hurricane, calmly watching the Divine movie of our re-entry into timelessness.
This shift seems to be a gift of grace from the Divine plan. Thank Goddess for benchmark reality checks like “Alice in Wonderland”, “Stranger in a Strange Land” “The Hotel California” as sign posts, reference points and encouragement to get us to this point in the journey. As the song from the movie “Working Girl” goes: “Let the Dreamers wake the nations… Come the New Jerusalem...” Timeless has arrived and just in the nick of time!! (Tee hee!)
