A reflection on time, consciousness, and the illusion of movement within Creation. ~AndEl

We live in the Eternal Here and Now, yet we experience apparent movement through both space and time. Technically, we live in a cosmic illusion, traditionally known as the Great Maya.

You have to wonder, exactly how did the Creator manage to create such a reality where points of consciousness can view each other from different perspectives?

The Universal Field of Creation

There is a fabric of space - the Universal Field or, to simplify, just plain Field with a Capital "F". The Field is created from the yin aspect of Creator consciousness. It is a subtle, fluid, magnetic energy. It intensifies where physical matter is present and, in the case of large bodies like planets, gains enough concentration to manifest as a gravitational field.

Yang-created energies of various types and frequencies populate the yin Field: Electric energy particles form the structure of physical atoms. Etheric energy waves are a higher, more subtle, pre-physical yang energy that support both physical and astral spirit life. Emotions and thoughts are powered by emotional and mental energies of various frequencies and these fill the planetary mind belt shared by everyone.

The human aura is a yin field providing a container for yang energies which, to a clairvoyant, reveal the colors of one's thoughts and feelings.

The yin Field plays host to the yang energies that everyone uses but, where Creation is concerned, there is always a third aspect to the creative triad, one which is related to motion or manifestation.

Time as the Third Aspect

As applied to the Timespace Illusion of life in the physical world, Time is that third aspect of Creation.

The fabric of Time is Creator consciousness of a frequency specified for our density level of existence.

Different points along a timeline differ only in their frequency signature. If you stand immobile at one location in space, you experience time passing because your brain is designed to attune to the universal clock which, bit by bit, keeps adjusting the time signature of the timeline. The universe actually flashes on and off, with a slightly different vibrational signature with each flash.

The best analogy of this mechanism is that of a motion picture. Pre-electronic movie films consisted of a sequence of photographs being projected onto a screen at, typically, 24 frames per second. Even though each frame contained just a static image, the illusion of motion was achieved by subsequent frames being projected fast enough for the human brain to perceive the changes as smooth action.

The universe flashes on and off billions of times per second. Each frame is a different viewpoint of the Great Here and Now. It is re-created in each of those rapidly-appearing, still-action frames as a sequence of energy signatures. The physical brain is entrained to the timing of that universal movie projector mechanism. All we see is continual change, even though such change consists of many still-action, static frames.

Within the Great Here and Now, a timeline is a string of related signatures of the Creator consciousness that manufactures the appearance of passing time.

I remember a consciousness speaker at one of the early Whole Life Expos in Los Angeles reporting that, upon returning from a deep LSD trip, he ran into difficulty aligning with the timestream in which his physical body was located. He had to adjust to the frequency rate of the timeline in order to re-align with it. It was comforting that he had a homing signal provided by his physical body to help him return to home base.

While in physical bodies with our physical brains, the passing of time seems even more real than a presentation at a movie theater.

With the Creational framework for Time in place, it became possible for human decisions to be made and for subsequent changes to unfold at a speed that allows for learning and reflection. And that was achieved even though, in truth, all changes are just a collection of different viewpoints within the Great Here and Now.
