BEGINNING TIME TRAVEL TECHNIQUES
Time travel is usually associated with physically traveling into the past or the future, with all of its attendant problems, such as meeting yourself or what would happen to you if you killed your grandfather? However these are the product of three dimensional thinking. Time travel, as I understand it and have experienced it, is possible because of the nature of time and the fact that we are everywhere at the same time. We could say that there is only one universal consciousness manifesting in everyone, and the way we experience time allows us to experience ourselves as separate individuals touching momentarily on the physical level.
The ability to penetrate this illusion allows one to be able to experience time as a single simultaneous event. The consequence of non-linear time enables a person to be able to experience any time frame he chooses, whether past, present or future. It also enables one to experience any person, whether living or dead. To be able to do this kind of time traveling takes some practice to become confident. It is important to know when you are actually time traveling, and not simply day dreaming. We use our ordinary senses brought together to form a sharp point that is able to pierce the three dimensional protective sheath. A great deal of what is used (after that) is focused visualization, which is in the realm of creative imagination.
If you want to experience being a particular person, you need to focus upon that person until you can see and feel what that person was seeing and feeling. It is helpful to gather as much information about that person as possible. Sometimes while visiting a time or place, you may find yourself experiencing someone you are not familiar with. This person is probably a karmic self of yours. (Even though we are each everyone, there are some incarnations that are more directly and karmically tied to us than others.) I would recommend at first to pick someone famous find out all that you can about the person, and then meditate upon the time and place where you want to have your experience. This is so much more informative than reading a book about the person.
Find a comfortable spot to sit where you won't be disturbed. It is better if you sit rather than lie down because the latter tends to produce sleep and dreams rather than actual time travel. Relax your mind and body as much as is possible without going to sleep. Begin by thinking about the place or person you wish to explore. See and feel yourself traveling easily to that time and place. Visualize the details of what you are seeing. Are there buildings or streets. See if you can read any signs, such as a street sign. Listen for any sounds, such as people talking. What are they saying? Begin to feel yourself there in the place. What form have you taken? Are you in a physical body? Is it male or female? Or are you sort of floating above the scene?
At first it may seem difficult to see anything, but with practice things will begin to easily come into focus. Have fun with it. See if you can find out something that can be verified in present time. The main difference between time traveling and day dreaming is that a time traveling event has a life of its own. By this I mean that you are more of an observer rather than a creator. In a day dream you can change things around to suit you.
Next time I will take you on a guided tour to a time and place I am familiar with. Be patient, because, like anything in life worth mastering, time travel takes time, discipline and effort.
