Text Box: Our three-dimensional existence is defined by our position in space. People are the heart of their universe, and from a central point everything extends outwards forever. We can also perceive units smaller and smaller, into the microscopic world that forms our reality. Just as we perceive ourselves in the middle of the universe, we are also in the middle of time. We categorize time as past, present and future, or as before, now, and not yet. Each perception of time is based on our individual experience. From the position of now, time can be extended forwards or backwards for millennia. Since all humans share similar experiences, there is a common agreement about time. It is measured the same way around the world, and is one of the few common languages within our species. And yet time is based solely on the position and speed of our planet as it orbits the sun. In this universe containing billions of suns, our concept of time is based on our relationship to one of them. So what if time does not really exist? Though time seems apparent as we move through it in physical form, each of us experiences a unique perspective. From this perspective comes the perception of linear time. But ultimately as an energy mass, the contents of this planet are constantly vibrating and changing. While it is always different, the general energy form of our planet is always the same, a stable mass of energy containing internal energies that are constantly shifting. Taking the vision to the next step, realize that our planet is a miniscule part of the entire universe. The energetic vibration of the universe is constantly shifting, and yet for an external observer there is no before or after. In the universe, it is always now. So in this now we create our history. Our acceptance of history varies, and there is often more than one viewpoint. As our knowledge increases, we add to the previous storylines, and sometimes even change them. What becomes commonly accepted as fact is actually a recreation of a story. We continually add to the stories, and we have created a very rich history. The history of a species reflects its character and values. We are still a species that is willing to harm one another, whether from fear or for personal gain. We are still a species in which people place themselves above other people, using reasons of race or gender or even belief systems to denigrate the other. We are still a species that harms its environment, throwing the ecosystem out of balance and threatening our own existence. In the future, our history will have grown. Not only will we have added to what we already know about our past, but we will also add the events of all the days from now until then. What we now perceive as our unknown future will eventually be our history. In order to achieve the growth we desire, it becomes necessary to change our now. We know where our path is leading, and do not like the anticipated outcomes. Instead, rather than succumbing to the inevitable, it is possible for us to change our now, so that the future will be different when it arrives. We do have influence, and there is nothing that cannot be changed. As each of you reads this article, you exist in the here and now. Of course, when I wrote this article I could visualize you there and then. Both concepts are real, and yet neither is the only viewpoint. Time and space are only relevant when you are in the middle of it all. Enjoying being the center of your universe, and continue stimulating the changes within that will extend to alter the path of humanity. © Copyright Glenn Stewart Coles, 2006 First Published July 9, 2006
