Time doesn’t truly exist. Time is a human construct used to describe the reality in which we exist here on Earth, an illusion we’ve become immersed in within what we call the fourth dimension. Time has become such an integral part of our lives that we seldom question it anymore. We use it to wake us in the morning, report to a job in due order, set limits on various sporting events, and so forth. In many ways, we are living our lives in accordance with a clock, a human invention, in defiance of the more subtle laws of the universe that permeate our very being, yet ignore.
What we call time, where our consciousness resides, is really the fourth dimension, but there are far more beyond that – there are up to 11 hyperspatial dimensions (zero through ten), according to our theoretical physics. From the perspective of those other dimensions above the fourth, time would be whole and complete, all of it there to move in and out of, completely concurrent.
Based on all this concept that all time is concurrent, Stacked Time Theory is the idea that every moment that has ever occurred, is occurring, and will occur in a specific location are all stacked together in one extremely tall pile of photographs – a living picture captured every second, if you will. All of these captured photos are still living and on-going within that tall stack without knowledge that the others in the stack are also living and on-going. Time travel, in this sense, would be the ability to go to a location and move up and down this stack of moments at will.
For an example of how this would work, take the 1980 film Somewhere in Time, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. In this heartbreaking story, Reeve’s character, Richard, has journeyed to a hotel on Mackinac Island where he is drawn to the historic portrait of a beautiful woman. He desires to meet her and, essentially, wills his consciousness from 1980 back to 1912. In order to do this, he acquires clothes and other items from the era to use the power of his mind and convince himself in his 1980 hotel room that he is actually at the hotel in 1912 at the exact same time the woman is there. He removes all the modern amenities out of his hotel room, acquires coins from 1912 and prior years, and, while lying on the bed dressed in a suit commensurate with the fashion of the early Twentieth Century, he feeds himself subliminal messages from a running tape recorder under the bed that he is actually at the hotel in 1912. By doing these things, he was able to jump from one photo in the Mackinac Island stack to another with his consciousness. I believe when we finally discover the secrets of time travel it will be more of this nature, rather than something mechanical, to make these journeys. Time travel will have more to do with meditation, the interconnections of the universe, and consciousness than a machine with buttons and dials.
To put it plainly, whatever has happened, is happening, and will happen are all happening in parallel to each other, just on a different frequency. Let’s take our example of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island above, which, while it may have been used as a location for a fictional story, is actually a real hotel. Now, take every moment that has ever occurred there and will occur there and put them into our stack of photographs – and I don’t just mean within the time-frame of the hotel’s history beginning with its groundbreaking. Take every moment for all time – from the creation of the solar system to when the sun engulfs the planet as a red giant billions of years from now and beyond. Time is essential to determine a position in the universe, and the same is true for establishing our stack of photos. With this analogy, yes, we are stuck within the stack, like the conventional “river of time,” moving up the pile as more photos are placed on top of it. But if we were to pull back from that stack, moving our perspective from the fourth dimension to the fifth dimension, and view it from outside as if it was a tower of photos on top of a desk we may be sitting at, then we would have access to every photo, every moment, within that stack at that location. For Christopher Reeve’s character, Richard, he was able to transfer himself from one point in the stack at the Grand Hotel to another, from moving up the stack, starting at his birth, to 1980 then jumping down in the stack to 1912 and progressing upward again. How might that be possible? If time is an illusion, as Albert Einstein proclaimed to the world just before he passed away in 1955, then wouldn’t also our place within time also be an illusion?
This is so very different than the modern way we view time today, a constant ticking away to our next appointment, to the alarm clock waking us in the morning, to the bus or plane we need to catch. It drones on, almost inescapable, an invisible bondage to a master we created of a slavery we don’t realize we’re within – tick, tick, tick. A mastery of time would be mastery over this fourth dimensional realm, true ascension to the next plane of existence and the ability to move in and out of time as we see fit. Without it, we keep plodding along to the beat of modern civilization, a crooked cadence that has spanned generations, following the path we simply know, that’s been passed down to us and those that came before us, because the truth has been lost over the millennia, ironically … to time.
