Relativity of Time

[Oversoul]

I posted this as a reply but decided it deserved its own thread.

I was smoking a cigarette late at night on my back porch and I started to hear this low humming sound that muffled all surrounding sounds. I then started to hear the shower in my house going. Everyone was asleep so I was wondering what was going on and I asked softly to myself "what is that?" then I heard myself humming. I was hearing myself getting ready to take a shower. I recognized this as a future event and my intuition told me it was gonna happen that night. I heard my future self talking to me. My future self said "It was meant to be this way. All is one." It seemed as though my future self already knew what I was doing and going to do. It's like he knew that I knew that he knew and that I was going to do exactly what he was doing at that moment in the future. There was this strange cosmic energy permeating the atmosphere (that's the best I can describe it). I sat there smoking my cigarette wondering about the energy that brought these two time lines together. My future self was humming. I wanted to change it just to see if I could so instead of taking a shower I went straight to bed. I got frustrated because I couldn't sleep without taking a shower so I got up to take one. After I started the water I heard my past self ask, "what is that", I started humming because I knew that my past self would recognize what was going on. I then found myself involuntarily saying, "It was meant to be this way. All is one." I continued humming while contemplating everything that was happening. This has never happened to me before and yet I understood it almost immediately. I'm pretty sure if I really wanted to change it I could've but everything ended up happening so naturally that I felt I had to go with the flow for the sake of my past self recognizing my future self and vice versa all existing in that present moment. It was pretty strange but it was also very real and makes me wonder what the potential is of tapping into this energy for discovering future events. I'm confident that if I meet myself in another time line psychically I will be able to communicate any essential information in order to ensure the success of my future self. It may sound crazy but now I believe even more than before that time can be transcended by one's conscious will.

Thank you for sharing this experience. It was very interesting... the way you described it really emphasized the primacy of self while gazing into the future.

This will be worth meditating over. Thank you again!

Very, very interesting. Please let us know if this happens again..

Very interesting; definitely keep us posted if this happens again, or if you have any new revelations.  This is actually a favorite topic of mine and something I've been playing with quite a bit lately.  Unfortunately part of my theory includes being able to LD and/or AP at will, which I'm nowhere near, so theorizing is really all I've got as of now.

you are a stoner arent you? no offense! its just that its your avatar, it was on the cover of a weed magazine, and it was called "the tripping issue"

I hate stoners. They deal out executions in too much of a rioting way. They should smoke some weed instead.

I actually had to read this twice to understand what Beavis said. Blame my slow sense of humor  

Unless this wasn't suposed to be funny....

Off topic: My avatar is by my favorite artist Alex Grey. Although it's inspired from psychedelic experiences it doesn't need to be experienced with the aid of a psychedelic. He explores the potential of human spirit. I suggest you look him up if you like it.

On topic: I haven't been able to connect with time like I did that night before. Although I remember very clearly my state of mind I can't seem to duplicate it. I'm beginning to realize that there are probably more factors than just a certain state of mind in order for me to utilize that connection again. I'll keep trying though and if I get through then I'll post any experiences in this thread as long as they directly relate to the relativity of time.

I can relate to our experience. Sometimes I will see things and certain events and really know that they were suppose to turn out that way. sometimes i find myself doing things just to complete a sequence of events because it just feels familiar.

This has given me an interesting thought. What i intend to do is, every night before i go to bed,  try to reach out and contact myself EARLIER that day, say 7 o clock when im usually eating my dinner. Then continue this every day until it becomes a habitual routine thing. Then maybe, just maybe this routine becomes set in stone and inevitable. So when it comes to 7 o clock every day i could try and connect with myself but at 7 i'll be looking FORWARDS to myself in bed.
Does everyone see exactly what i mean ? Any thoughts ?

Sounds similar to the way people develop and practice remote viewing. Yeah, I get how that would work.
