My belief is that time is much more plastic than that. Time is completely nonlinear and is moving (if directionality is still a metaphor that works) in all directions. Forward, backward, laterally, up, and down. This vantage point requires that we start to bring in higher dimensional structures to support the amount of variability created, which brings us into a much larger discussion. Perhaps we’ll save that one for later. Regardless of the way time works in dimensions beyond our default reality, the mystic recognizes that time is both linear and nonlinear, and lives in that paradoxical knowing that both are true and simultaneously, neither are true.
How do you offer a little (or a lot) more magic so that the conceptual and energetic anchors that ground others into “this reality” vibrate a little faster, a little hotter, a little stronger; so that, like the chemical bonds of a molecule, those connections can be redefined, reshaped in a new way so that their contextual experience of life changes?
1.4 You Are Not Alone The mystic setting out on the path may be convinced that he is all alone. Listening to esoteric podcasts alone in your car, reading ancient texts alone in bed at night, almost bringing up the conversation on sacred geometry, Ancient Egypt, or quantum physics to that person at work––but you just get the deep sense that it will be unreceived, you will be judged, adding further fuel to the pain of your perceived isolation. While you love them deeply, your partner might not get it, your parents almost certainly don’t get it, your teachers never got it, and the religious clergy or leadership seem like they almost get it or they got a piece, but it’s still just so far from what you know to be true. The mystic may find himself asking: “Am I the only one who sees the world this way? Am I the only one who looks into a person’s eyes and before too long, they dissolve, I dissolve … and while our human forms are talking about faxes, memos, and annual projections, our souls are communing and re-remembering each other. I’m so certain this is happening and I’m so certain they have no idea.
universe delivers the most potent, evolutionary thing to say––and the conversation stacks and builds on itself until, finally, ecstatically culminating in a moment of pinnacle brilliance: a transformative deep penetrative insight echoes through your body, heart, mind, and through time?
Feel us all around you in this moment, maybe not in physical 3-D proximity, but certainly sharing a mental space, sharing a heart space, and sharing a soul space. Rest in that resonant frequency, rest in that co-leveraged buoyance of the interdependent, interconnected mystic enclave across the globe and beyond. The more you can feel us out there, the more we zoom in to meet you in the tangible space.
All of reality is riding the wave of consciousness toward the shore of deeper inclusiveness and connectedness. Today’s mystic is being called to greater depth of connection, service to humanity, raising of the collective consciousness, and drawing forth the gifts of the individual for the benefit of all humanity and for all sentient beings.
This wisdom you’ve been cultivating is someone else’s vital nutrient. The more you own that truth the quicker this person will show up with a question, problem, or dynamic that you have a very particular (and perhaps even mystical) perspective on that you’ve just been waiting to talk about.
cosmic drama playing out and recognize that you are literally at the leading edge of all time-dependent linear reality, how could you possibly ever think that you are not enough? The universe has been evolving for billions of years just to make the perfection of you right now. Let this truth explode like a supernova inside your heart. You are literally the most powerful thing the universe has ever produced. There is more nuance, subtlety, and complex perfection inside our little biological space suit than anything else we know of that has ever existed in the material world.
He feels himself in the 4-D linear vector of time at the leading edge of the unfolding present moment.
This is an invitation to commit to your moreness, to your power, to your perfection, to the fact that you are an infinite soul in a biological body perfectly seated in this time-space moment at the leading edge of all unfolding linear reality for a purpose. This purpose is the same for all of us––to be the perfect expression of the divine unfolding truth, manifesting through your individual beingness, moment by moment by moment. I dare you to say yes.
