Best of the Notes - One Paradox please, with Reality on the Side

 
Notes on Paradoxes and side realities and sideways time descriptions. This started off much smaller and much more concise but then I decided to cast the net a bit wider and added anything which sounded like a paradox or had to do with sideways possible locations. Too big but more inclusive:

In regards to the Many Worlds Theory, not all paradoxes are created or resolved in the same Universe. To understand side realities, resolution of paradoxes occur outside of linear progression. Once losing sight of linear effects, one can see resolutions outside the lines, only movement or simulating movement through multiple timelines at once can show the whole picture which one timeline, like one person, can only have one perspective upon. Many times sequentially and at once are the same  Inventor said it best about different places at same time = different times of thethe place. 

Many will say, be who or what you are. I have a problem with that. I am, should I be lucky enough to see another day, I am less than what I will be tomorrow. I know less, I have experienced less, and by some minúte measure I am less, especially over the long term view. If I am to focus on being what I am it takes the focus away from becoming that which I want to be. If one does not wish to be more or to be a better person, they should at least wish to be someone who did more, accomplished something more, saw more, or experienced more, than they have today. Who you are and understanding that is not as important as who or what you are becoming. If you don't know who you are now, thinking about it won't change it, and if it does change it you will have to start all over again, because if suddenly realizing who you are does not change everything, what does? You are not the same person you were before knowing that, and so on, and so on.
         Only after you have done all that you will do can any true perspective be applied and even then not unbiasly by you. Enjoy being, really truly fully enjoy being, but take it as a given, as if you always have been and always will be, and see it only as a necessary precursor to what you will become. What you are now is like 8:45:36 which is absolutely meaningless without having an 8:45:35 and a 8:45:37. Processes, not particles. Becoming, not being.                       From Towards Tomorrow
 

Knowing that in an instant someone walking into a room is about to trip, one is now in the position if given sufficient time, to prevent it from occurring. Such knowledge might seem paradoxical. Were someone to know with certainty and accuracy of something about to happen, though this would enable them to act differently, to alter the flow of would be events, would not this prevent them from having such information about the soon to be occurrence if one prevents it from occurring? 
          Were this to be repeated over and over and over again the paradox would resolve itself. Since it happens both ways in the past, one way without intervention based upon prior inexplicable foreknowledge or remembrance, and the new way based upon that new factor becoming a real variation on the theme, both eventually are part of the past, and one senses not the absolute necessity of something happening, though it may if it continues to be a ripple in the timeline still appear as a certainty about to happen, it becomes over time merely a predilection or tendency to happen a certain way. 
.....We begin to create little paradoxes within the big paradox, create bridges in time mentally between the present and the future or the present and the past, like conceptual wormholes, and by doing so create events which can only exist as reality while contained within that paradoxor reality loop because of such realizations. 
          Can consciousness break out of our own paradoxes we may create as a side effect of our existences, creating not only ripples of change into the future but into the past as well, by mere repetition as I mentioned might both smooth out timelines and create alternate timelines? Regardless of anything which we may do or create based upon fore/past knowledge which itself creates the paradox, it must be stated that in such an environment existence itself, regardless of anything which we may say or do, becomes a paradox. It is safe to say for most that we exist in the present because we exist in or were created in the past, a minute ago, an hour, a year, etc. But to go beyond that to say that we exist in the past as we do or did because of something yet to occur in the future, which will create and shape the past is itself the heart of the bigger problem. The future is creating the past as much as the past can be said to create the future, and once inserted anywhere in between, it is to be forever required or existent in both. By becoming more conscious of theparadox through retention of more and more of its variabilities we  ourselves create, have created, and are creating in both the past and the future, hopefully we can in a sense move beyond it, but because it is a paradox we will also always have been and always will be within it.
          We may never retain a full realization of previous run-throughs while within it. Momentary glimpses may break through now and then into our consciousnesses but retaining more than a general sense of things is hard. The details get in the way. The details get changed around, lost, found, forgotten and remembered, altered. We may not even always retain much of the current run through. The past is always in a way just as unreal and as changeable as the future. It never lasts more than a moment and does not moving forward back into it always happen the same. 
          All mathematical attempts at understanding the Universe will ultimately fail without taking into account the perceiver by interaction within the paradox is changing not only the future but also the past. You must account for the accounting for.

 People can perceive of time as points on a road they are travelling. But with a real road, all points exist at once, whereas with time there is just where you are, and all the other points seem to come into and go out of existence. This is as limited and as childish as believing a road you are travelling has no existence anywhere where you are not upon it, or won’t be real until you come to it. Early on we learn of object permanence, or that objects do not disappear when they leave our sight or our direct perception. It takes longer to understand temporal permanence, or that EVENTS, that time itself does not only exist in our current moment on the road just because that is all we can directly perceive or experience. The whole road is always there and we are always at each and every point along it simultaneously.      From Before the PreNotes
 

...But while you are you, you are creating a solid past which really could have and does occur in any number of ways, and seeming to set a real, a definite future, which will in effect actually occur for a limited number of potential future persons in a limited number of future realities which will only occur from this one given playing out of one possible past. (In other words each present is parent of many possible futures, each of which can and does occur, so any one looking into its past, that is only one branch of that past's future which is not the only one, and cannot see or know the others futures it co-exists with the way the one in the past sense them all (looking forward) equally). 
        What actually happened, what could have happened, and (what) only might depends on where you are standing and who you are at any given point. To those yet to be (in the future) you are completely predictable, and every action you might take, preordained. Yet to you or from your point of view, none of their worlds actually exist or even necessarily will. One version or set must (seem to) but which will over any other has yet to be determined. The same is true for any persons before you were born. Their actions and lives seem to only have occurred one way, (but) in actuality you only exist in a fraction of their possible futures, and not necessarily (and sometimes not) will come to be. 
        Perspective is to understand one history or timeline as definite. To exist in time as we understand it, you need a definite past. Which past is the real past is determined by who you are now and what you need it to be. If every successive block in the future requires every other one from and there is a definite design or intended shape of the wall, everyone is part of only one timelines definite past, and all events are already the past for some from that one definite (and only) timeline, and therefore could only occur one way. Yet if everyone is also the architect, being any brink in any possible building's past, we decide which past to jump in on anywhere or to which future design we wish to contribute our continuation, or further the shape of which future wall. 
        Your existence solidifies to you the past that you need to have exist for you to have been. That future state for others of what (in what) is to you the past, does not always and will not always happen that way, at least not for any still or concurrently existing within that past. To them your existence is only a possibility and nothing more. Now shoot the air out of the concept of time in that multiple versions of the future must occur, the futures that (to others in your past) require your existence and the ones where you did not exist, both mutually exclusive sets of future realities needing to occur equally. Every new existence in effect creates its own definite past to give it perspective upon its existence. To us in the now, we see ourselves creating the future path and determining which realities will be real to which future potential others. Yet if all of those future potential others are real at some point, though our lives can and do happen any number of ways from (the point of view) of each "only potential" person in the future, the ones that spring out of our timelines, each possesses a different, something completely different, yet completely preordained predictable past version of ourselves. Which you or which them is determined by which past, always solid, always seemingly preordained, yet never actually occurring more than not occurring (like possible futures), provisional.(Everything in existence is creating or defining its own past by nature of its existence. The past happened neither one way nor any other, but to be is to require it to have form and shape.) From the part of Perspective which was edited out but is in.                      From  Before the PreNotes
 

Life is an equation you are born knowing yet require time to live through to fully understand it, come to remember it, and complete the circle, knowing it the same so you can come back to where you started and came in. With the beginning and end points fixed (relationally, not in time) it still leaves plenty of room to maneuver in the big ball in-between. Though a fixed time analogy is not technically accurate as your expiration date is not fixed but fluid, it can be likened to the beginning and end of the Universe and the spherical potential increasing over time only to contract as in size as it nears its end, or the potential for where you can be or for what you can do for the time you must wait in changing planes or buses, having to be at a specific place and time when you arrive and leave. The potential is greatest to be anywhere else half way between arrival and departure, increasing widely from the moment you enter the terminal door and decreasing just as sharply the radius(of where else you can be as it becomes) near the time you have to leave, a sphere (in this case, a circle) of potential places you can exist in-between.  ( "Universe Inc.'s Paradoxes and Probability Waves" was written  immediately after and because of it.)         From the PreNotes
 

It had a beginning point in one reality and exists in actuality in a finished state in at least one other reality. By spreading its effects outward into other realities it will never exist in fully other than potentially, yet affect them as if it did exist, it becomes a paradox, having sidewayseffects withoutsideways existence. As I said, it is what it isn't and it isn't what it is. It is both grounded in at least one solid known reality and (having) potential with shadows from it bleeding into other realities where only parts of it are known. Those shadows or parts merge or converge in a reality not in the future or the past of the realities they exist only as potential or as shadows, they point to a reality parallel to one that exists with their own. Without having to necessarily "pull" it into existence in any one particular reality, I can "see" it from multiple potential realities points of view at once, like something in a reality can be "seen" or experienced from multiple points of view of different individuals. Though this is in a sense in my head because I will and can seem to only live one of these realities at a time, by projecting awareness of how the same event can, would, and seem to both occur and not occur at the same time, or at different points in time, I can see it from a multidimensional "me" point of view which is similar to how the same events are perceived by multiple individual's points of view all in one reality. Multiple others in this reality I am not saying is the equivalent or the same as multiple "me's" across other realities, but how they can be thought to converge, overlap, upon interpretation of "seeing" the same event from different angles, are analogous to each other. Knowing something's existence without actualizing it is to potentially see it from many angles at once and let it grow outward into a shape no single reality can contain or hold. It becomes too big or (too) complex to be defined by or limited to any single version of possible events, (a) single Universe, or (a) single timeline. It grows outside of time and across dimensions and can only exist partially in them at once. "Seeing" the potential of anything this way is to "see" the potential of anything and everything else as well. The pattern of things that could be beyond how they only can, will, do, or seem to exist only at once, or in one Universe's history of time.      From the PreNotes
 

To experience every objects positive or limited nature, we must temporarily put aside or out of mind for the moment its negative nature, or everything else's potentially positive nature which actual things don't seem to have. Though everything can potentially be or be seen as anything else, one must pick one aspect to see or be to experience it at all. Everything in that one half is constantly seen as lacking but this seeming lacking (of) something or negativeness is the only thing creating its positive nature. To completely merge at once with it would annihilate both into the only two numbers which are real from one perspective and all others (from that perspective are) imaginary, zero and infinity. From the opposite "halves" like us ways of seeing, the numbers in between are the only real ones and those two (zero and infinity) are imaginary. Your "here" needs a "there", your past needs a future, matter needs emptiness around it to be matter or the universe would be a solid chunk of matter stretching to infinity with no room for anything in it. Everything to exist needs to pick one aspect to see over the other and thus experience itself as having existence apart from everything else (it is still connected to). What we pick to see or experience or (to) have be, we call positive and real and everything not that we seem to be or are directly experiencing negative or outside of ourselves or (outside of) our experiences, and the currently not real. Matter does not distort spacetime as it grows closer to it but creates spacetime as an inverse the further you travel outside or away from it.

From the PreNotes
"To exist, matter must have space outside itself, and if that cannot balance, it must have time to sort out how to balance itself if space is not the answer. Since we as scientists perceive space and time as the same thing or interrelated, this is what matter needs and creates to offset its abundance of positivity inherent within its own existence." 
        "So it doesn’t use time to figure out or resolve the imbalance, time itself coupled with space IS the answer it comes up with to resolve its existence’s paradoxor imbalance." 
         "Correct. Because our existences are in relation to that solution, we must, to exist within the Universe, buy into equally its two tenants, that we have mass and that we have time and space to offset that mass or exist within. So long as we buy into both the positive and negative aspects equally, we are existing within the same framework and moving along in step with whatever else adheres to or uses the same framework to define itself by." 
    ....  "Yes," Inventor agreed. "If matter did not try to exist, it would not need space and time to try to balance itself through or in. Or we could blame space/time for wanting to exist and creating matter as its negative counterweight to balance it. If we see the potential of space/time as the positive force, matter becomes the dried up shell or waste products space/time must leave behind after the party is over. In this interpretation we or actual things are not the positives but the negatives that can no longer exist as many things at once, but are the leftovers of what had to occur for time and space to be able to move ahead to the next set of possible circumstances. Our actuality to space/time might seem a necessary inconvenience or base jumping off point for its multiple states of reality. In space/times reality only zero and infinity are real numbers and all others are imaginary constructs need to bookend them by giving space to separate them. To the other way of seeing matter as the positive, zero and infinity become the imaginary numbers and the ones in-between become the real numbers. Both can be seen to be either, as it is only your point of view or choice about which to set or see as which." 
         "But once you decide, you must stick with it," Assistwo joked. 
        "Yes, it is much the same as the orientation of yourself in regards to matter as we have used repeatedly. Speaking of which, we need to go back into matter resolve all of this since, as you pointed out, we see matter and existence as the positives, and generally in a good/bad sense, we see or experience the upsides. Since we decide actual existence is real and potential only the means to achieve that reality, instead of vice versa which is an equally valid point of view, the whole paradox begins in here, he said pointing to his cube, and as we will see from this trip inside, because it is a paradox, it also ends in there as well. From an even wider perspective," Inventor said with a smile, "it never even leaves there."  From 2D 3D 4D 5D Thinking Made Simple
 
Memories are a shadow in one direction only, life spreads out in all directions (away from present (not written, added when typing))

Events of (with) knowledge, events without knowledge, causes events of fullness, simultaneity, and parallelism, and events of absence, lacking, unresolvedness, and incompleteness. Once EWOK's become known that event redefines the past parallel to that point as something else it wasn't or did not seem to be at the time.(creating a paradox, (yes, that was a cheap addition to put it here but it explains why it is here.)

Understanding 4D space is so easy any child can do it if explained right. Real 4D dimensions of space leaving time completely out of the picture, not cheating and using time to explain the fourth spacial dimension. However when you try to reintroduce time, the 3D perspective we are so used to gets perennially in the way. To understand movement and (the) interaction of 4D objects in 4D space, if you try to fixate on any particular moment in time, an object seems, from a 3D viewpoint, to be in an infinite number of places at the same time. Likewise, to nail down these infinite number of objects to a single place, you can do so easily by seeing it there an infinite number of times. Thinking in 4D is easy without adding time, then trying to view it from a 3D viewpoint. Once you do, every object  becomes as fuzzy in time and space as an electron without requiring the idea of measurement to affect it, though one could say perceiving it affects and effects how you would see it. 

Hollow object best example for defining dimensions internally and externally at the same time, reverse hollow objects (both) simultaneously *and* intermittently to define existence and movement and *both* intermittently and simultaneously here and there at once. (OK, maybe these two above don't belong here but they sound paradoxical anyway)

With multidimensional thinking, you have to get used to seeming paradoxes and infinities. You need to find ways to understand how here is or can also be there, how now can also be then, and how something can also be something or everything it seems not (to be). Most of these can be discounted (as illusions) due to the limits in our perception and 3D ways of thinking. Then again, maybe they are more descriptive of reality than our perceptions are. 

Objects through interaction create a solid common past between them and a definite future which will be common to and contain both in some fashion or another. Without interaction, no definite past or future (of one) is real to the other. 

To exist simultaneously with something else in time and space, whether they were once the same and took different paths, or will combine at some point to create a common future, or run parallel to each other and never meet, to co-exist side by side is inexorably to share a common past and the destiny of one is always interlinked, contingent upon, and from a third point of view, the same, as the destiny of the other if you view time as having been and becoming a single thread of events. 

If space can curve away in a direction (equally) away from every single point in space both toward and away from itself simultaneously from another dimensional point of view, it is conceivable time may as well, therefore time would be running in both directions at once from an outside viewpoint and only expanding in the sense that all other points further away from you are further along the curvature of time, making them appear moving away from you when from an opposite angle they would be moving toward you simultaneously. 

Every moment in time becomes the beginning and the end, and all other points in time are moving away from that point bilaterally. 

It is impossible to tell what anyone or anything was without fully understanding what they are and might else have been. It is impossible to tell what anyone is without understanding what they were, might else be, and all that they still yet might become. Therefore to understand anyone or anything, factor it down to all it might one day far from now can be shown to possibly have been. It is to look ahead to looking back to a life or existence that was always looking or moving ahead. Then pull and attempt to turn time itself inside out as dimensional antipoles. 

To have existence in time and in consciousness is to be both a diviner and inventor at the same time. To divine, calculate, or interpret all that the future or yourself CAN be, and which of all these equally real possibilities it will seem to eventually become, though it never was nor will be any less than the sum of all of them.

...Truth if any lies before wanting to see, not during, and certainly not after. 

When in combined overlapping space, neither part is the original, both are. Once a new combination is made, each point of view or starting place was the origin equally. You must constantly expand and redefine points and locations as being in more than one place equally before and both potential future locations in each space following the division again as being equally the same path's logical result based on each previous parts direction. Weird! 

Objects in overlapping space have seemingly multiple origin points. It is like a person's biological origins. The farther back you go, the more (precipatory factors) there are and what you are is the direct continuation of all of them. It is easy to see the future dispersing ahead and multiple points an object can go to, strange to see each location and state coming together (into one unit from multiple directions and states at once when) looking back

(four semi-circles in a line merging toward a fifth completed circle from the first semi-circle completely outside of each other, one on top labeled future and the other on the bottom labeled past and beside these...) - Sideways time

The logical rational view of the moment contends that the past creates the future (via the present) and that is that. The future is thought of as ineffectual, indifferent, and unobtrusive. There are those who think the future is predetermined, though we can easily write off them or that notion completely simply by saying if we can do so and they are right, we were only doing so because it was meant to be. To see the future as an active participant in the past need not be as all or nothing, as detached nor commanding. As I wrote in Toward Tomorrow, any moment in time does not exist without having a before and after state, or a precedent and antecedent. The past and the future are easily inversible. Potential and actual are easily inversible. What one is and all else one is not are easily inversible. To think of any one half without being CREATED or COMPLETELY defined by the other half is short-sightedness bordering on complete blindness. 

Time's crystalline structure- the past, present and future are like a multidimensional jigsaw puzzle. The more pieces are in place, the greater numbers of pasts exist in an order, and the fewer number of patterns left to fit in the remaining pieces. Each moment is like an extra Universe, so each moment one perceives backward creating each present is like a greater number of pasts. The future is which pattern these will seem to fulfill or point to, and each present is deciding which pattern or which puzzle to create with the remaining pieces, thus redefining the past by deciding each now which puzzle was being built by those thens. The more pieces are in place, the fewer futures exist which can fit or fulfill, or connect, all of those previous pieces into a whole pattern. Each moment added must be fitted or connect to each previous other into a greater expanding outward structure. More pasts connect to fewer futures, (and) more futures necessitates fewer pasts. Since this is perceptual as well as physical, with each present reforming from multiple past directions converging, then seemingly separating again, yet all paths always exist, we in a sense (seem to) create more futures by purging, denouncing, or denying the relevance and influences of our pasts. This we can understand conceptually, but it is a wonder to behold to see this in action physically. It is the process of life to seemingly devour each past moment and past existences to fuel or create new future ones, a shock wave, as is thought with light, waving only on, by, and through itself. As the wave reaches its outer edges, from another distant yet identical or identically valid perspective, that outer edge is or becomes the new inner circle or originating point, and every point to (there), in space and in time, is the potential originating point by some other perspective. 

What you know is all that enables you to do anything. What you don't know is what drives you to do anything. Making a past path creates a lacking or wanting of a future destination. Both grow outward from the center

Redefining your past in relation to or conjunction with another's or something else's to see them as related or coming together thus seeing both prior lines (of past events) as both branches (common roots) leading to common events and concurrent futures, if only for awhile, and only in one single chain of events or one branch of potential realities. 

How objects shapes (in hyperspheric space or a dimensionally curved back upon itself Universe) are determined by the curvature or anti-bending of space relative to the proximity in distance, size, and time of other objects in relation to their own. Bear in mind objects sizes can possibly be greater in dimensions we cannot measure or perceive from outside of them in "normal" space. A black hole, for instance, can seem very small from the outside, yet in a sense have a greater size or disproportionate size-like qualities in gravity or bending, or anti-bending of space and time. Traveling into one, something's shape might only seem to change relative to objects outside or further away from them, an effect simply more pronounced in a shorter distance than the distortion of objects shapes relative to each other in the normal larger curvature of the universe itself, were they able to get that far away from each other in space and time. If the Universe was as small as a solar system, and we still were as large as we are now, we could see objects shapes change as they approach and move away from objects of different sizes and relative to (the) distance from ourselves. 

From another point in space or in time, from another's perspective, our future exists already as their past. As put forth here, that the future and past are existant only as different perspectives upon their different presents, in which they are all the same present only seen from different angles (called space and time). The only thing confusing or complicated about seeing future events as co-existing with the present and past, is that there is no "the" future but many very different ones, just as there are many different pasts merging and overlapping in different ways at different angles further back away from each present. Complicating this even further is that there is no "the" present either, just a combination of more probable states seeming to overlap in a way that makes it differenciatable from less probable others from that particular point of view chosen to be taken by that "individual" and at that point in "space" and in "time", which is really just another organizational factor of everything else inextricably interconnected and the separateness itself is only a desired or chosen perspective upon and within it. 

Now is the only time you as you exist now, will ever really have. Even if you live another 50 or 100 years, who you would become over time to be then, or the many ways you might grow differently to become based on different paths and different choices, only technically have much to do with who you are now and how you see things and life at this point in time. You are changing, evolving, or growing if you are doing life right or (are) noticing it, and what you might become is only a small part of you now, more than or equal to the sense that what you are now will only seem a part of you then in how you once were, might have been, or how you (only) used to see things (at one given point in the past). 

At every now- everything moving syncronously together though seemingly at different rates. Further away from every now, things paths diverge, circle from opposing directions, seemingly opposed to other nows, yet further along flowing together with other nows again. Riding any one's dimensional path, it is the others which seem to be diverging away from it. 

1/2 going positive, 1/2 going negative, connecting both in a circuit above and below equally at the same time

1/2 coming from (the) future, 1/2 from (the) past, creating new shape, bubble, circuit, between, from opposite view, pattern between (which) forms reaching out into future and past, supra-space/time view, seeing both forming in something else. 

Reaching out to the future, passing through that reaching out to the past, where they overlap, perception of the present. 

Point A- time and space curving away from it in all directions. Point B- time and space curving away from it in all directions. Between A and B, one direct line and more curved lines, yet (the) curvature arcs are limited else they no longer are paths between A and B, like magnetic field patterns between the north and south poles. Wanting to go from A to B, or being at A at one point in time and B at a different point in time collapses potential around the places in between (Like Universe Inc's probability waves) and a road forms between. 

To most people the future is what it will be and will be only one thing. To me the future is what it was, and was many things. 

Get over concurrent things, states, or events, from being any different to direct continuations or evolutions into new forms of the same things, states, or events (at other times). The paths of each ahead always circle back and stand concurrent with each of its seeming "itselfs" (prior causational branches) of each present.  (Sides (side realities))

Any branch of any reality can be made to seem (like) the most optimal and prescribed to be. It is only a matter of willingness to embrace or use it as such.  (More on sides)

Perceiving time is like watching the road while you are driving. You hopefully concentrate most of your attention on where you will be shortly, where you must be aware of dangers or hazards which you will have to react to most quickly to avoid, while trying to see further ahead as well. Some can see further ahead than others and react more quickly to sudden changes or obstacles. You also have some limited sideways view of where you might else have been at that moment, and memories provide that rear view mirror, that shrinking, merging, central view or sense of where you came from or how you got there. 

The term "old soul" is not applicable in a formal sense as if some have been around or in more lives than others. Some may have access more directly or clearer to others' lives in the past, present, future, or sides, but age in such contexts combined together with concepts of timelessness is at oppositional directional angles of logic. 

Record spin hole through center of black hole, 2D plane space-time surrounding equator of spin becomes 1D at inverse of the horizon (poles) on inside which is same space but different view of outside.

Dancing around a wave potential or probability trying to see it from other sides (is) different than around an actuality. Many different ways of being means need different way of perceiving it from outside of it, since what is outside of it is indefinite while what it is is indefinite. 

Said before in the notes, but collisions rewrite the past and future between each. Each overlap sends info and effects forwards and backwards away from it simultaneously. That is why paradoxes of causation appear with faster than or near light speed if looped back. Each point affects all others, and sequentially is but one view in one direction or aspect or perspective upon it. From any other view the cause and effects can be different or even reversed. 

It is not true that once a door of perception has been opened that it cannot be shut, or a truth once realized cannot be forgotten. Easy it is to hide, slam it shut, and live your whole life nearly to the very end and never again consider it. It can however be controlled as easily as shut out altogether, to close it yet not forget it is there. You may even see that such intermittency is ideal or purposeful, like the door of a refrigerator keeping two environments apart, yet sometimes needing to reach between the door for nourishment. Life is on MANY levels with one foot on one ground, and the other on the opposite ground from one perspective. Attempt to stand on either side and you will topple. To be fully in neither you are to be by your lack of existence in both, as well as partial existence in both. 

How relevant is the future to the past, that is the question. Many see the past as relevant to the future, even precipatory and its predecessor or what creates it. If there are many possible versions of the future each past is different from each of the others each second away from each present going backwards, each with its own different corresponding more recent pasts. The further back you go, these different futures from now have more in common and seem to come together. Yet each second back  also provides a wider range of future destinations ahead toward the future. To reverse this, imagine any one point in the future far from now to be predestined or eventually must happen but the present is not as predetermined. The closer you get to that point in time, the more possible threads of the past must merge to create that point. The fulcrum ought to be viewed on the present in both directions, that each moment creates its own set of future points reachable away from it and is the conjunction of differing possible timelines back away from it which must merge and cancel each other out to define it as more  "actual". To view other potentially possible places and states of or for each present, nothing could be seen as the sole determinant of anything else. You could see many paths and opposed pasts leading to each present, many different strands coming together in different ways to create the same states and effects from completely different causes and directions of different pasts. Circular causational loops not only seem possible but practically inevitable further away from each present. Which present means having which futures and which possible paths (?) could create it. Having more than one future means (thinking backwards it is probable) more than one present for you to be in and more than one you could and would be in now. Which present you would perceive is which future you look back to see it from as much as which past you think you stand upon to look or move towards it. (Not the most coherent or inspired take on a theme elsewhere in the notes but more combined and adds an aspect or two sideways as well, side cones, plates.) 

Understanding separate probabilities and different ways events can happen existing together simultaneously outside of perception can either be seen as stripping one of the ability to control what can happen or show what one is at any point is within an organizational structure beyond the perceiver/perceived. As said by others in the Many Worlds Theory, it becomes harder to define what connects what to anything else if every moment can and does become many different things yet is the same in all of them or each is the same, as potentially real as the others. Back to the end of Rel 3, we choose to find to believe something in between one definite reality and anything possible to come next, and a solid past and an uncertain future provides staticism with openness when fundamentally they are just interpretations on the same context. 

From one angle, we control time. From the other we are controlled by it. From outside of it, neither applies. 

Like many, maybe everyone in history, I want, need to expand my potential and grow beyond what I am and redefine what can be and can become. How much they could, did, I cannot know except that we are not what we were millions of years ago and each generation advances it, if only the smallest of steps. I am stuck between a door and on both sides I am, and on neither can I be. 

Taking the potential of yourself, inside yourself, and imbuing it into others so you can stand apart from it, gaze into it, and see what it is from an outside second-hand perspective. Everything that is is a reflection of everything else to each other that it seems not to be. What will happen is always what this overall structure believes most likely could at any given point, and then only in regards to each other from within. "Actual" is only interpretation of potential from the inside out

One of the most useful purposes of the notion of a god or gods as used in the past is to drive home the fact that you alone did not create yourself. Even Buddhist notions that you did do not ring true either. It is easy to forget or put out of mind, no matter how low or how often you prostrate yourself beneath an altar or in prayer, that you are not the sole cause or causation of your existence. In sum, what is outside yourself, all else that you are not, is creating you in part at least, and in another sense, in whole in tandem with yourself only as one other part of what you are (a web of webs), one vote with provisional vetoes now and then. The third point of view puts you into the background and into a context of another another with whoever and whatever else you shift perspective to outside of any other. 

Your beliefs are a wall you build around yourself to give you a sense of identity or frame of reference. That wall was built by your experiences with other's walls. The more complete your wall is, you can no longer see other's walls except through your own. People like Socrates were smart enough to see their walls keep them from bouncing balls off of other's walls, or from even seeing them at all except from inside your walls (which) you really don't wish to tear down or you wouldn't have them. 

No prophecies or predictions can control you because you will always seem to have a choice. Once you choose however, the rest is more fate than chance and anyone with insight on how you will choose at that time can seem to predict it, and the obstacles by others perspectives actually enables, shapes, and contributes to it. 

Following multiple streams, multiple lives, events intersecting at different times for each, enabling some, some preclude others, and every loss an opportunity for something else down the road. Making what will be remembered by each as seen from many points of view inside each and outside all

People whose minds are completely focused on and around their own life's circumstances will understand almost none of these notes and that is good. The only way to bring most of it into focus is to develop the ability to step back from your own life's perspective and add up all the perspectives of all else around you. That ability will be come key to all else and survival. It is to be able to see your life and circumstances dually simultaneously from within it and in time, and from an outside perspective upon it and time, from all other points and perspectives outside of it at once. (Like in curved space how the all points furthest away from the center added up looking inward are exactly the same as the inward out point of view from the center, and everything else lies only in-between the one point you perceive with you at the center and the non-definite sum of all others points furthest away where you could be which are both, the one definite and the sum of all the others possible furthest away, are exactly the same single point's perspective). 

Understanding freewill and how it interplays with prophecy if it can be determined as existent, both, how they can co-exist. That it is possible to know how events outside of your sphere of influence will turn out which have not happened yet, how can that mesh with how others outside of yours who could conceivably know what you will do in advance. It is as if everything beyond your control or influence has already happened or will only happen one way, from your point of view when you can see it that way, yet you are locked within the same constraint of (being) an open book to those who cannot affect you, even if you are in their futures. Yet what happens if nothing lies outside of one's sphere of influence, can either exist to each other at all if no (one) way can happen any more than any other as having been or will be the case? Causality curves

Everything in existence is forced by experiences to grow into a certain mold. One door opens, go into a room, another door opens, go into the next room. All you will see and know mapped out ahead of time. Go through enough doors and you can get a sense of predictability to the overall pattern, but you will always be molded as long as you follow the pattern (any pattern). The only way to escape the pattern is to learn to see through the walls of where you are supposed to be and only from what there are you supposed to see and experience. You may not be able to go to the rooms outside your sequence, but by perceiving them, exist in them in another sense simultaneously as well. 

Infinity symbol, closed loop doubled back, new road forming in middle, travelling both directions at once, new dimension forming to sort it out (how roads can intersect in addition to overlap), growing outside of space and time. (From imagining a circular figure 8 track with an intersection replacing an overpass and both directions become possible and both double back). 

Event AB creates a past, before AB, a future, after AB, and at least 3 perspectives. AB as seen from A, AB as seen from B, and AB as seen from outside of AB, and a future which includes AB's effects from the point of view of A and the point of view of B. It also creates side realities or a sideways means of differentiation besides creating or defining PRE and POST AB states. It also divides things up into those realities in which AB did occur and those realities in which AB did not occur. These are the easy definitions. More complicated is a sliding scale where AB occurred at different points in time in different realities. 

Playing with dolls. Learning to step outside oneself or view life from an outside perspective which those cultures and times without dolls did not have. To ascribe or imagine a point of view to an object, simulate its movements, imagine events happening to it seen from outside of it, and imagine its point of view within your own imagination, how those events would be seen by it. Complicated, but now instinctive. Putting part of you or your point of view into objects, imagining they have their own personalities or traits, and then interacting with them, both seeing both inside their "eyes" and from yours at once, viewing events from different perspectives (at once) as the Greeks imagined their Gods watched and manipulated us from an "above" outside perspective. 

Broken zipper between two circular sides, future coming together, past coming apart to wrap around and come together ahead again. 

Light cones in room scattered across floor moving laterally overlapping  each other, time as rising from floor to ceiling, present as water rising from floor to ceiling, volume of air all possibilities outside of individual light cones. Replace places inside light cones with events. The air above the water line is all possible future events of all light cone individual perspectives. Under water (line) is all possible pasts of all possible individual point of views. Now imagine the waterline is only 1 mm deep spreading out like a soap bubble in curved space with what is above from another point of view is simultaneously also below as well at the same time, and time can only be perceived by keeping your line of sight level with the rising waterline, and only while locked into rising at the same place with it. Each moment of the present while rising in step with it, it would seem thinnest, largest and furthest apart and all points above and below it from that points present would seem to be moving away and toward each other in the most distant past and most distant future, yet that is only the past and future of the soap bubble which is always a sphere of the same shape, and the events it moves through are neither only in the future nor in the past, but in both or outside of both, depending on what angle you view them from

Heads, tails, matter of perspective. Moving all else to same side of coin. 

Whether reanimated or just reinvigorated with combined purpose, the pages of one book can be stuck to the pages of another book and the stories intermix and affect each other interplaying. Future, past, and sides overlap. 

Most peoples' minds work like magnets, all pointing in the same direction, perceiving events in the same linear way and think this is, if not the only way to perceive things, it is the only correct way. My mind can perceive time as linear, yet also understand non-linear time concepts, sideways and backward time-like means of organization. Where most peoples' time perception is like a compass always pointing north, I have many different compasses, each for different purposes, yet remember which way is north according to others. That compass is not lost for me, yet it is not always the best indicator of what is going on. Other compasses sometimes show more pertinent patterns. 

Held or suspended locked in place in time by the rings of the future moving (spinning) in one direction, the past spinning counter, and the sides also moving opposing each other, yet all those circles within a greater circle encompassing them all. 

Add one more dimension than what beings perceive and it can be difficult for them to imagine as it would mean stacked worlds of all their perceivable dimensions at once and be difficult to see how one could move through it/them. Add two extra physical dimensions and there would be almost nothing their experiences could relate to movement or location at all conceptually speaking. Fully understanding one more makes it technically possible, but you would have to be willing to leave or put aside temporarily almost all of your preconceptions of where, when, and what you are or might be. 

Combining two center-out presents, not uniting alongside over time with tandem movement but both center-out from all times into all pasts and presents from both points of view at once, and then everything along all other paths, peoples, and timelines exists in-between them folded neatly into one place at one time. 

Just as everything outside yourself is an externalization of yourself in regards to the potential for experience (of it) and interaction with it in the time definition of yourself or what it means to be you, so too are you internalized within everyone you might meet in regards to their times events to define themselves through experiences with you. 

Outwards from you is out from within to them, outwards from them is from within to without from inside of you. Experience makes one think the opposite. You must learn to constantly switch perspective so that both inner to outer are synonymous from a viewpoint beyond both. Combining all reference points (away from) at once is to see beyond being just you (from only a single perspective in space and time). 

TARDIS (from a BBC show about a Dr., I forget his name :-o) as a room outside of linear space-time. Hyper-connected switching point of causality. Consciousness as well. 

The central organizing factor of the consciousness is not the outside environment it interacts with, but the will. All else becomes secondary. Types of life, part 4. 

Fast-forward people's lives like mayflies (flies that are born, eat, reproduce, and die within a single day), what interactions they do besides reproducing, how do they tip the balance of how people treat each other? Instant people in fast-forward, made to effect. Speeding it up you see the effects and less the events which made them choose those courses of action. Both perspectives are interesting, the web of whats, and why they do what they do and hope to achieve. Both need to be fully understood without trying to control either. Inside and outside views of all lives and each person's life. 

Time buoys - points of reference in different futures common to other futures, where they overlap other timelines and can be used as a reference point to where you are in terms of events yet to occur, what you are moving toward or away from, and if alongside, what you missed or avoided. 

How you interact with what you find in your environment defines you in and over time. You are limited by and to that except when you try to create something new for you or others to interact with. Then you are casting the net wider but are limited by what you might consider possible to create, the limitations on your own imagination you cannot know of (and materials on occasion depending on what you think to create). What new things others create or your environment adds are again external to you and simply are other parts of your environment to interact with or collaborate with.

Some people when given consistently conflicting data about when a mutually exclusive result both is and isn't the case, will just ignore it and believe what they wish, not that most don't anyway, and move on. Others will see it as a paradox and try to expand their thinking of the situation so that they can account for it logically and the paradox is only (seemingly) one from a certain wrong perspective. Still others can go beyond that too, to say that the solution to the paradox is itself an invention to make one think it is solved, that logic must prevail, and that instead think their will created to them the solution, and that the paradox itself was the paradox. It created the desire for it to be solved and would not the have been without that desire. Neither the problem nor the solution were ever absolute. 

People as works of art, physical or temporal (performance art). Manipulating their experiences and knowledge to get them to behave, appear, and identify themselves by their thinking as you wish. Yet another outside view on life or the Universe. 

Both creating something in the future and being created by that state in the future. Feedback loops which can grow faster than time. Slower loops are what creates time itself. Consciousness can speed up that process and occasionally guide it, yet for what ends? Only fools think in terms of trying to keep their consciousness or any organizational structure intact forever. Time itself is writing in the sand. A good organization which lasts only a second is worth as much as one which lasts a billion years and affects a trillion lives. They are no different to those who really understand time. That is why improving is ALWAYS a far superior goal that surviving longer, even if it takes many years away from how long you could have survived without changing fundamentally. 

In regards to the Many Worlds Theory, not all paradoxes are created or resolved in the same Universe. To understand side realities, resolution of paradoxes occur outside of linear progression. Once losing sight of linear effects, one can see resolutions outside the lines, only movement or simulating movement through multiple timelines at once can show the whole picture which one timeline, like one person, can only have one perspective upon. Many times sequentially and at once are the same.  Inventor said it best about different places at same time = different times of the same place. 

Seeing everything from outside of it. How worlds, matter, and species form. How consciousness and spirit form. What they hope to achieve in events in their limited times. What future orders they hope will arise and try to contribute to. How their senses of identity form and are shaped. Experiences first, foremost, and exclusively. Shaped, molded, grown. Lives as objects, objects as experience and potential for experiences only.  Seeing your own life from outside of it and within the same context as others without attachment enables seeing others lives from within to without as well. Each outside view is anothers, all others, potential inside view. 

Growing into the future. Using multiple states of existence in the future to create a past, creating that which will in turn create you. Your desire for its shape, its desire for your shape, like electrical nodes in an  ancient sci-fi film's laboratory creating the line of current which connects the two. That lightning-like current line is events of time seen from outside of them of what connects the two. In the stream, the current is traveling both ways to create the connection. Bzzzzt!

When you do or actualize anything you must decrease its potential but inherent within the decrease of that potential is an increase in the potential perspective or experience or understanding of that potential, now transformed into an actual event, by others. The decrease in potential to the one is proportionate to the potential experience increased within others. That increase in others potential for that experience is offset by a decrease in their potential for other experiences. On the whole, potential and actual are either always in balance, or always through time creating new imbalances and trying to resolve them chasing each other, and from a better point of view, each (view) is the same and only different depending on how you choose to look at it. Or if you choose to see matter and past actual events, or the action, the potential for future actions, as possessing the greater validity as truth or real. 

Each moment we experience in the "present" contains a completely different mix of different sets of futures which all logically stem from it as well as which sets of pasts could have lead to that moment. Linking that to any other mixture of different pasts and futures creates a manageable view of a particular set of experiences to be played out (seeming to connect the two). Collisions seemingly inevitable because they happen in more recent and closer timelines when not occurring, create new larger spaces of unpredictability again when something else diverts it. 

It is from a consciousness' point of view that the future creates the past through exceptions (which) experiences must fulfill for the past to make sense. To know the answers when reaching them, one must have a sense of what they are now. It seems like being propelled to a finality one must stand in concert with at all other times. 

We are defined by our circumstances and point of views to what we perceive around us to have to react to. The only real control we have in our lives is if we have the power to control (what we have to react to,) what environment we choose to place ourselves within. Once within an environment, choices are determined by what we perceive our options to be, what we think might or needs to be done, and from that, what we think we ought to wish to do in or with that situation. Situations always rule us unless we take control over whatever else might be found within our environments and/or change them completely. The environments, if choosable, are the first and only real controls we ever will have.
