Time is another aspect of the universe that several races of aliens claim we are misguided on. Todd Rundgren in the song "I Love My Life" off the album "Nearly Human" (the cover has a six fingered handprint on it) states, "Time is an illusion. Time is not real. Time is the dividing line between what is so and what is not so."
When it was suggested of Debbie Tomie to ask her abductors the questions, "What is time?" she came back with the answer, "It's whatever you want it to be. You create it."
Bashar says, "Time: what a wonderful creation! But a creation it is: your own illusion, your own understanding of the idea of the way in which you have chosen to express the separation of yourselves from All That Is."
Tibetan and Buddhist monks pontificate that our attention is spread too thinly into the past and future. They practice focusing their attention more and more in the present. The closer we focus our minds in the present moment the more oneness and control over our reality we have. Fulton Oursler states, "We crucify ourselves between two thieves; regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow."
Ken Carey's contacts state "Too much thinking about oneself is the greatest thing that keeps human identity from being fully present, for when you are constantly self-reflecting you are too caught up in past and future to notice the presence around you. You are doubting your own power. You are not vibrating fast enough to channel the immense energies of creation because your attention is scattered and you are closed to the one moment where the love that would quicken you exists: the moment where you are."
Bashar continues with, "Your present is not the result of your past! Right now you are creating yourselves to be the idea of persons who have habitual patterns from the past. And now you are creating yourselves to be the idea of persons who have habitual patterns from the past. And now the same thing, over and over again. But you do not have to have that definition of yourselves. The present is not the result of the past. The present is the result of what you think it is the result of now. If you think your present is the result of your past, that's the effect you are creating. But you are creating that effect now in the present."
"If, as physicist David Bohm suggests, consciousness also has its source in the implicate order, this means that the human mind and the holographic record of the past already existing in the same domain, are, in a manner of speaking, already neighbors. Thus, a shift in the focus of one's attention may be all that is needed to access the past. Clairvoyants have an innate knack for making this shift, but again, as with so many of the other extraordinary human abilities we have looked at, the holographic idea suggests that the talent is latent in all of us."
A Kahuna woman related to author Dan Millman, "Those who seek to escape the world through spiritual experiences are barking up the wrong tree, because their search only intensifies the sense of dilemma that motivated the search in the first place.
"The desire to rise above the boredom, fleshiness, and mortality of this world is natural and understandable. But those who practice self-involved techniques to distract themselves from the dilemmas of daily life are going to ascend the ladder only to find out it's leaning against the wrong wall.
"You meet the Higher Self not by imagining colored lights or doing lovely visualizations, but by accepting its will by becoming the Higher Self. This process cannot be forced; it happens of its own accord.
"Daily life is the training arena of the peaceful warrior. Spirit gives you everything you need, here and now. You evolve not by seeking to go elsewhere, but by paying attention to, and embracing, what's right in front of you. Only then can you take the next step on whatever floor you are working."
Better Get Back to the Woods
Some aliens feel that we need to focus inward to better understand our higher selves and try and see through this illusion. Returning to a simpler life brought Ken Carey in touch with higher intuitive understanding. Almost all of the spiritual structures of mankind that practice improvement of the soul toward a higher consciousness have their own form of meditation. The aliens also relate that many people are feeling an internal desire to awaken and understand but that our day-to-day lives blind us to our attunement with nature and the entire universe. Let us turn to our musical poets for insight.
The Moody Blues from the album "Keys to the Kingdom" in the song "Say It With Love" profess, "Underneath a sea of doubt there's a million voices shouting, 'let me out, let me out.' When we go we never return because there's just one lesson that we've got to learn. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you say' say it with love."
Dan Fogelberg in the song "The Wild Places" off the album of the same name states, "In the cities and towns there are millions who dream. But, the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream. There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find; though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind. So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross. Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost? Can we gave with wonder of children into the deafening night? Has it gotten so dark that you cannot remember the light?"
From the Moody Blues song "Eyes of a Child" off the album "To Our Children's Children's Children" they write, "Listen hear the sound the child awakes. Wonder all around the child awakes. Now in his life he never must be lost. No thoughts must deceive him. In life he must trust. With the eyes of a child you must come out and see that your world's spinning round and through life you will be a small part of a hope of a love that exists. In the eyes of a child you will see. Earth falls far away; new life awaits. Here is your dream and now how does it feel? No words will go with you and now what is real?"
"Edgar Cayce also spoke of thoughts as tangible things, a finer form of matter and, when he was in trance, repeatedly told his clients that their thoughts created their destiny and that 'thought is the builder.' In his view, the thinking process is like a spider constantly spinning, constantly adding to its web. Every moment of our lives we are creating the images and patterns that give our future energy and shape."
Continuing with the song "Eyes of a Child" we find a correlation with Cayce, "I'm going to sit and watch the web that you will build this day. Will it be a thread of love you weave? It's yours to show the way. Then everything will be as you see in the light.
