IcerocketWhen one pictures time, the common notion is that it is linear in nature. It defines where I was, where I am, and where I will be in the future. This framework is the result of human perception of something which is truly not as it seems. Time can only be experienced through the perspective of an observer, in a sense making time fully subjective, as the experience of its passing is a relativistic event which varies from person to person and experience to experience. This begins to show that time is not the concrete line it appears to be; rather, it is a multitude of timelines as experienced by each perspective. I view this to in a sense be an additional dimension to time. In this view of 2D time, one dimension describes what is commonly called “time” while the other describes the perspective observing it.
String theory has brought the concept of the multiverse into awareness. I believe that these “parallel universes exist within a third dimension of time. In my view, our reality contains not only a three dimensional space, but a three dimensional time. When conceptualizing 3D space, a perspective can only exist at one particular point in each dimension, yet that perspective can still be aware that all other points which they do not currently occupy are still in existence. The same can be said for time; a perspective may occupy a single “point” in time which is described by their frame of reference, the events which “proceeded” and “followed”(a point in normally perceived time as viewed through a cause and effect paradigm), and which multiverse the perspective occupies. In this sense, all possible timelines, places in those timelines, and universes in which they can occur are already in existence and in fact are always in existence. These are actually concurrent realities existing at a different point in 6 dimensional time-space. The past and future occur alongside the present and all have effects on each other (including the future effecting the past and present). By shifting one’s paradigm, it is possible to move in the additional dimension of time, accessing points in one’s own timeline outside of the normal positive 1D flow of time.
Time is simultaneous; the only moment is now.

What time do you have ?

Time can be one of the more perplexing things we can contemplate as well as experience. It is, after all, a central part of our existence.Nothing would exist without time. It is like the mortar the helps bind together all within what we experience as our reality.
Though time may seem linear, it as well has aspects of a spiral . As the seasons continue, you move upwards within the spirial of time. You would think that by now they would have a better and more clear definition and explanation of time instead of it being some odd footnote or mysterious variable.
In studying aspects of the paranormal, mainly the existence of ghsots and spirits, I have researched time and how it allows these beings to exsit. It is as though you stated that the past, present and future all exist at once and they intermingle with the present as well as the with the living . Some at will and some hauntings just play over and over like a recording. The later would be more of what is referred to as a residual haunting. A replaying of events that occurred in time.
Hopefully some day we will be offered a better explanations for this intreaguing aspect of our existence. I think it's just a matter of time.
