Time Traveled Lately?

I once took a motorcycle trip with my father, my son and my son’s son. That’s four generations on the road at one time. I remember how we were cutting corners that still had double yellow lines one trip and got nabbed by a sheriff doing highway patrol.

Fortunately the eyes of the patrol have but a limited view of the entire highway or possibly we would have turned our 2 generation wreckless driving tickets into a 4 generation set. Now that would have been worth framing and putting on the wall of our club house.

It’s a common certainty; acorns don’t fall to far from the tree. Like father like son, we all seemed to be enjoying the curves and acceleration far too much for most county Mounties.

Being out front has its disadvantages; the one out front is the first to find trouble and sherriffs. But being out front brings the excitement of being the first to see what is yet to be the future for those that live a few moments behind.

Motorcycles are time machines, but then again so are most vehicles within our space time dimension. Just leave an hour ahead of my departure and from one perspective, you live my future.

Einstein made one his most important discoveries traveling (I’d like to imagine what would have become of his theories if he had ridden a motorcycle). But we have to settle for what he could observe from a bus.

As he approached town one day, he noticed the clock tower ( I imagined the movie “Back to the future” as I reflected on what that clock tower may have looked like). As he watched the bus approaching the tower, he thought about how time would appear if he approached at the speed of light. Then imagined what it would be like moving away from the tower and watching the clocks time as he departed at the speed of light.

All reality is determined by your perception, your focus

As one approaches the speed of light moving away from the clock tower, the light bringing the vision of the clock’s time would arrive later and later till at the speed of light, the clock would appear fixed in time. It would appear that time had stopped.  Yet were he to take his focus off of the clock tower and watch his wrist watch, time would once again appear to keeping its usual pace.

We measure velocity as a function of time and distance calculating both from the beginning point of departure. Velocity becomes impossible to calculate once the speed of light is achieved. At the speed of light, with time standing still at our point of departure, no matter what distance we consider, we have traveled it in zero time and our mathematical calculation deviding by ZERO time derives an irrational number.

The last measurable velocity would be our maximum speed, just below the speed of light. However, the distance we could travel at light speed would be near infinite. Approaching the speed of light, we would travel near anywhere.

So what would happen to time, if we exceeded the speed of light? Theoretically, anywhere you would arrive while traveling faster than the speed of light and you would turn to view the clock tower reflecting a light delivered image of the clock with hands positioned to an earlier minute than when you had departed your journey.

However since a a reading at the speed of light would make the calculation of velocity into an irrational mathematical number. We therefore have only rational logical conclusion mathematically; the speed of light is the highest velocity possible.  This is true even if you try to measure the velocity between two beams of light traveling in opposite directions. Their rational velocity of separation can NOT exceed the approximate speed of light.

As one approaches the speed of light the psychological constructs of our space time dimensions break down. Time and space can be viewed for what they truly are;  Just psychological constructs, points of view, or points of psychological reference.

Psychological Events / Recognized References

But then you already knew that everything you see, hear, touch, smell or taste ONLY exists in your reality as you perceive such psychologically. You already knew that independent of your own PERSONAL perspective, any others awareness was immaterial. Except another’s awareness becomes your conscious awareness, it doesn’t yet exist in your perspective and for all practical purposes, it truly doesn’t exist.

If you followed me above you perceived and observed a psychological event. I doubt many of you actually sat on my motorcycle as it approached its maximum velocity, the speed of light, and we travelled infinite distances in zero time.

However, we did  experience a shared psychological event occurring outside of normal time and space. The experience of a psychological event does NOT require physical origin. That is, psychological events do NOT depend upon their existence within physical time and space.  Yet the conscious awareness of a physical event MUST occur psychologically or there is NO experience.

In attempts to observe what are considered the smallest of known particulate matter, the ‘quanta’, quantum physicists were forced to conclude what is now widely accepted knowledge in physics. Expressed in common man terms;  if a tree is to fall in the desert with no conscious observer, the material event doesn’t occur. They proved this in their experiments with matter. Matter doesn’t form at the quantum level unless there is an observer. The very act of observing causes the universal field of infinite potentiality to collapse into a singular identified as ‘particulate matter’. Take away the observation at the mid point of their experiments and the experiment fails to reveal any particulate matter.

Now, if all so called ‘physical events’ must first become psychological events before one can consciously recognize and realize them physically. Where does true reality actually exist? Which event is real? Which is the reflection of the other? Where is true reality actually found? Or should I have asked: where is true reality actually formed?

Is reality within the confines of our minds psychologically, or within what we usually think of as the “real physical universe”?

You know the answer. Realizations are psychological.  The realization of our psychological travel was every bit as real as the realization that occurred when I received the ticket for wreckless driving at the start of this blog. In fact, it is more real. Physical reality objects and events reflect psychological reality, not the other way around as we’ve previously thought!

Beliefs change and so does our reality. Just like we once believed the earth was flat (which it really is when one’s reality if concluded from a perspective limited to a narrowly focused field of view), today we believe it is round and physicists know time is but a persistent illusion ever changing relative to a psychological perspective.

Time is a psychological construct, a psychological perspective we have chosen to use in viewing other psychological events. This perspective allows us to view or experience what we call physical objects and events.

Everything real is found within a psychological reality formed from a psychological perspective created by a focus of awareness, where our focus of awareness is chosen by ourselves according to the desires we have! Believe it! Realize it!

PS: What do you desire? The things you want or do you desire to avoid the things you don’t.  Stranger than fiction, It was actually our desires to avoid the county mounties of life that confirms their existence within our experience.

PPS: If you think you enjoy speed, you shoud try going the speed of light on a motorcycle. Traveling from NY to LA in zero seconds can be a blast and it doesn’t consume any petro. Oh and be sure to enjoy the Niagra Falls, Everglades, Grand Canyon and Glacier Park, you have time as they are all on the way. You can enjoy them all and won’t waste one extra second to see them.
