Does the brain control time?

[NickJW]

I was watching Star Trek: Voyager the other day and the ship was all messed up because time kept on going back and forth. ( the person would see someone then they would see them repeat themselves etc, time was hopping back and forth). Then they found out it was becasue a device on the ship was affecting their temporal lobes found in the brain, and that was why time was all screwed up.

Does the human brain really have power over time and space and the entire universe?

Does the human brain really have power over time and space and the entire universe?

Hi Nick,
Great question.  It depends on what mean by Human brain.  

If you mean it's the physical lump between our ears, then No, it doesn't control Time.

If you mean the actual thoughts in our mind, then Yes, it can have an effect.

We can 'alter-time' by projecting our awareness to other places, events and lives ..  although each of those are actually occurring Now...  at the same time.

This is because Time is only relevant to having a Perception of it.

After that, we seem to observe time as a line, because we are indoctrinated into Believing it is a time-line.  And maybe so that we don't burn-out on having too much Input from it all in the Now, LOL.


And, so what we perceive as the history of this Universe..  as being a very long time...  is really only a portion of what is Now.  

Or maybe I am crazy, LOL

[J.K.]

Maybe we can both be crazy Tayesin.. lol

Here's a quote:

Einstein demonstrated that time is a relative concept — an illusion of the five senses. Kabbalah agrees.

Nick, I think this link might help you with your question.  On the first page you'll find a brief written intro.  Clicking on the link at the bottom of the page will take you to a nice Flash movie which explains it in a little more detail.

When finished you might also want to check out this movie on Parallel Universes..

Pretty cool stuff...  

[NickJW]

interesting, but the physical brain's temporal lobes do effect how we percieve time and space. When someone meditates this is often what causes them to feel sensations becasue according to some scientist, the temporal lobes are intact with the entire universe.
Interesting video on time.
I don't really understand the video on parallel universes though.
Thanx for the links.

[J.K.]

Hey Nick...

I don't really understand the parallel universe thing either.     lol

I thought, however, that I might follow up on this:

interesting, but the physical brain's temporal lobes do effect how we percieve time and space.

I'd agree.  What I'd personally add though is that the brain doesn't just effect how we perceive time and space - it literally creates it.  All sensations, - feeling, touch, hearing, sight, and even our thoughts are of the brain.  

These thoughts and sensations create the illusion that "I'm in here" and stuff is happening "out there."  This is ego - the sense of I'ness or being seperate from things.  

However, there exists a consciousness when all of those sensations are removed where there is no sense of 'in here' and 'out there'  There is no concept of two - there is only 'one'..  And that's who we really are.  - The rest, including time, is just the noise of illusion.

Or at least that's how I understand it..     lol

Yes, but only to certain degrees, time is always moving foreward *not that you can't transcend light to view the past* but also you can not stop it.  So I believe the mind can change it to whatever you can capably concieve. Watch a clock w/ a second hand sometime and just stare and try to control it, fun experiment.

[NickJW]

If you're talking about Einstein's theory, then I was wondering if you could give me an explanation of how to time travel by moving faster than light or wutever. I've never really understood this thing well.

[J.K.]

Hey Quantitative - Nick...

I'm don't think I can explain it, but I thought I might provide yet another link if anyone would like to follow up.

If you scroll down this page to the bottom on the left hand side of the page you'll see this text

How time is created by mind, and what is time?   The "Time Window" and objective time.   What would the universe be like if there were no consciousness to see it?   And "What the Bleep Do We Know?".

I'm not sure he can explain it either - lol - but I think he's on subject and listening is free..  

[GuardianMasterAngel]

Actually Quantum Physics proves that time does not exist, it is the product of Human's limited consiciousness, a search on google about the nature of time and Fractality can produce many interesting results

[You]

No, it doesn't, it's Star Trek, it's Sci Fi. Star Trek DOES kick butt, it brings forth a LOT of moral truths and interesting ideas that may be possible, but you still have to base it on real world ideas.

"Magnetic Components of Brain Activity"

Let me continue. I already discussed the importance of the magnetic component of brain activity in studying and monitoring brain processes and functions accurately and precisely. Further research by our Russian colleagues has also shown that with proper parallel computing algorithms, one can plot three-dimensionally the magnetic field configuration and spatio-temporal time-varying fields of the midbrain's thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, pituitary and pineal functions in real time!

This is unprecedented, because it shows that, as we all here have learned in our Hermetic Gnostic Order's teachings, the so-called "Cave of Brahma", Dr. N's favourite "hang-out" (laughter), is indeed the magnetic and acoustic resonance chamber, its shape being a topological complex analogue of an ellipsoidal, prolate spheroid and a torus. In American lingo, I think that is called, a doughnut inside an egg? (Laughter) May I have the cine film strip please? Thank you. (Short film showing computer graphics is shown).

This shows a real-time plot of the nested magnetic fields around my own head. This piece of research was a little favour from a British colleague that likes to work nights. They call it the "Dracula Shift" (laughter). The white lines of the overall contour, the green the Hypothalamus plus Thalamus field, the red the Hippocampus plus Amygdala cycloid-shaped field (semi-circular), and the dumb-bell shaped blue is the Epyphisis (Pineal) and Hypophysis (Pituitary) combined fields. I wrote this algorithm myself with the help of Professor Penrose -- another unofficial favour -- to map the magnetic fields using both the SQUID sensor helmets and a special helmet designed by Dr. Z having Delta-T and Delta-Wye transforms, having specially designed magnetic coils and sensors. This way we could pick up Pico and Nanogauss fields (billionth of a Gauss). The combined information is displayed here in three-dimensional coloured graphics. Notice the external white-lined shape is like an egg. Inside, almost at the centre, is the toroidal shape of the Hippocampus-Amygdala combined fields, the red contours. The central tube-like "sausage with trumpet-like open ends" looks like what? Anyone? (Chorus: "An Einstein-Rosen Bridge!") Right!

The blue-green combined field of the Thalamus-Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Pineal glands forms a sausage, like a mini hyperspace tunnel, about 7cm long. The screen image is magnified, but the actual side is about 7cm, (reflecting) the normal brain size.

Let me pause a minute. Can we replay that part? Thanks. Notice how the overall geometry is an ellipsoidal prolate spheroidal cavity containing a sub-space of a toroid traversed by a hyperbolic, non-linear Einstein-Rosen bridge. Again, in American lingo, "an egg-shaped cavity containing a doughnut crossed by a sausage". What do these nested fields look like to you, dear friends? (Cross talk and comments). A topological analogue of a relativistic, locally curved space-time locus around a solar system. Of course! What else? A space-time torus with an Einstein-Rosen bridge connecting its median points!

There, ladies and gentlemen...there is the scientific proof that the motto of our Order, the dictum of the ancient sages, "As Above, So Below ... As Within, So Without" is scientifically and neurophysiologically correct and precisely so! These shapes, which you all recognise as hyperspatial four-dimensional plots, are indeed magnetic-acoustical resonance chambers. Notice that these amazing geometries are the synergistic effect of the magnetic fields of these six organs surrounded by the ventricles, under the roof of the choroid plexus and corpus callosum. Notice what happens if I subtract the field of even a single organ, let's say the pineal gland. See how it changes the entire structure?13 And, if I add the contribution of the mamillary body, it only widens the tube, right? And if we add the field from the reticular formation, the master circuit network, relay and switchboard of the brain where all waves are originated, what do we get?

Next frame, please? We get a tunnel merging with the main ellipsoid al field. In the screen, it is the orange coloured grid.

To summarize, what is our Mid-Brain or Inner Cavity? It is a relativistic spatio-temporal cavity with local enfolded hyperspatial bridges that undergoes harmonic resonances to magnetic and acoustical stimuli. The implications are almost astronomical, if I may use the term, because a model and mechanism based on this novel scientific information implies that our human brain is in reality none other than a biological space-time energy transducer. As such, it creates not only space, but also time. Our ancient Chinese ancestors maintained that "the Tao was in our head", in other words, all the Universe was in our head! My own inference from this study is that space and time are essentially biologically modulated, perhaps even formulated, for my equations show that possibility. Should this intuitive scientific insight be correct, then it would demolish physics, biology, philosophy and theology in a single, clean blow.

Incidentally, I showed this filmstrip and discussed my theory and equations with Professor Penrose, who seemed interested at first, but very politely declined any further comment or association with me thereafter.14 I think he realised the impact of this novel theory. He is still convinced that quantum mechanics is the answer to explain brain functions and consciousness. I disagree. I think it is General Relativity and Unified Field a la Einstein, pure and simple. Quantum phenomena are not the cause, but merely the effect, and creation is not statistical. It is wholeheartedly deterministic, not left to chance, but to precisely formulated potentials, not fields. The potentials are the cause, the fields are the effects. In simple terms, pure magnetism and sound are the potentials. Electricity is the field. Magnetism and sound do not "travel" as such, for they are inherently enfolded in space and are everywhere. It is the disturbance that travels. On the other hand, electrical charge, hence electricity, does travel, because it needs a physical medium. It is obvious that we still don't understand either magnetism or the true nature of sound.

"Neurological Magnetic Fields and Altered States"

Dr. A: Please explain how the cerebral magnetic fields of the mid-brain change as a function of ASC's, altered states?

Mrs.Dr.L: Ah, so. Very good. What my associates and I did is to go into various trance states induced by the techniques that we all know here (A) Deep Zen/Taoist meditation, absolute stillness, (B) Tai-Chi moving meditation, and (C) Tantra Toga Cobra Breathing - pulsed powerful breath, Yoga Asana (lotus posture). I was the subject tested.

In (A), all metabolic processes release homeostasis are slowed down pronouncedly. The brain emitted EEG peaks in the Alpha-Theta range (11,9,7, and 5 cps, at the lowest). Great Masters can descend all the way into Delta, 0.1- 4cps. The amplitudes varied between 60 and 275 microvolts, root mean square averages. The magnetic fields were actually at a maximum, especially when eyes were closed, ranging from about 9.5 to 48.5 Picogauss (10-8 gauss). The diagrams you saw in the cine film were made with measurements of this part (A).

In (B), the metabolic processes are increased, but homeostasis is optimised. Brainwaves are almost totally Alpha, but some Beta spikes were observed. Again, a Great Tai-Chi Master would be totally in Alpha, maybe even some Theta. The magnetic fields were somewhat elongated in the Y-axis, meaning the length of the space-time tube. This meant that space-time functions are altered when doing Tai-Chi correctly. It is said in Chinese lore that Tai-Chi Masters can arrest, even reverse their aging process, and cause local distortions of space-time, hence their ability to literally propel opponents flying through the air, 12 feet into the air, like the legendary master in the remote Changu province. Somehow, magnetism and Chi are related, and are controlled by the brain via intent and breath.

In (C), the brainwaves are almost totally composed of very unusual spikes that could be Alpha or Beta. The magnetic fields were pulsating, or oscillating, which means some non-linear DC pulses created expansion and contraction of the magnetic field. Curiously, it appeared as if it became alive and began to breathe, and the pulse was about 6 to 8 cycles per second. My interpretation is that here space-time is being pulsed, and time is being accelerated, but externally, not internally. In other words, the outside time-flow seems to be going faster. Any other questions? Yes, Ms Dr. J?

Ms.Dr.J: What is the best way to optimise one's own brain functions, especially in adults like us? Also, I understand you're a grandmother and won't reveal your age. To me, you look like you are about 22 years old! What's your secret?

Mrs.Dr.L: Thank you for the complement. My answer to that is to be like a child, laugh a lot - and this group are all clowns, especially those loud Russians, back there (great laughter and cheers), and eat Chinese food, especially vegetables, eggs, and a lot of sea weed. Also, I practice Tai-Chi and Chi-Kung every day. In China, we walk many kilometers every day. Now, as for brain functions, as Dr. N said, do not watch TV or movies, don't use computers or telephones, and practice your Yoga and visualization/imagination exercises daily. Study of Sacred Geometry15 is the best stimulation for the brain, for the Sacred Forms, angles and diagrams have their space-time analogues in the Mind, Soul and Spirit. You saw how the brain forms Sacred Geometry magnetic field patterns in our film. That is very significant. Some Hermetic Gnostics of early Christianity thought that Angels derived from Angles. You see? Finally, never, never, never smoke cigarettes or take drugs. That damages the Thymus and Pituitary, and causes premature aging. Also, don't drink coffee - it interferes via purines in brain neurotransmitters. Drink tea.

[NickJW]

No, it doesn't, it's Star Trek, it's Sci Fi. Star Trek DOES kick [edit], it brings forth a LOT of moral truths and interesting ideas that may be possible, but you still have to base it on real world ideas.

Actually, I seen a show about meditation, and it says that the temporal lobes shut down or something, and that causes your senses to not percieve time and space. It was just intereseting that in Star Trek, the device screwing up time was called a Temporal Disfunctioner or something like that.

The only thing Star Trek did was made me think, if the meditation show says Temporal Lobes control time, and on Star Trek the time device was called a Temporal whatever, then maybe that means.... The Brain Controls Time!

What I'm trying to say, is the idea wasn't totally sci-fi.

I agree, time is in our mind. Perhaps space is to. When you are out walking watch about 45 degrees from the ground. Don´t focus on one direction but try to see both left right and up/down like we do when daydreaming. Then it will seem like the ground is moving towards you instead of opposite.

[Unicorn]

All time is simultaneous which explains the ability to access past lives, deja vu, intuition and the ability of some psychics to witness future events. If you visualize a multi-level chess board made of glass in which each of the levels represents  a time period within our human view of time. View the structure from above and imagine all levels occurring simultaneously - this is the true nature of 'time'. It is not linear as most humans conceptualize time.

may the power of now b with u.

[NickJW]

wow.
After that many months and now a post.
I do agree with that post though Unicorn

[Donal]

Guys, with that post I made at the top of the page, I was able to contact Professor Penrose and he stated he had no recollection of such a thing.
