Time exists only in the physical space in which we live. There is a space beyond time that is the container for all that exists in time. However, today we will explore the nature of existence within time.
We often feel that the world is a place where time is constantly speeding up, with ever-increasing pressure to perform up to the expectations set by society and the systems within it, and ever-decreasing time in which to accomplish this. Consequently, we feel we are running out of time, or that there is not enough time for us to meet these societal expectations.
As we go through each day, we often feel that we have to make an endless amount of decisions from a seemingly infinite array from which to choose.
We often become overwhelmed by the pressure to make the right choice out of the fear of making the wrong choice. However, this endless plethora of choice is an illusion.
First, understand that time exists to rule the system of physical reality in which we live. In other words, time exists to rule physical reality. For simplicity, we can call this system of physical reality the construct.
This construct is a literal mathematical matrix, existing in every direction and every space of time at once. It is an invisible grid laid over everything in this world in every possible direction, with you as the center point of your individual timeline.
Imagine the entire world around you on translucent graph paper, the grid overlaid everywhere you look.
This grid is the fabric of space-time. This is not at all dissimilar to an avatar in a video game of a first-person perspective or role-playing game.
Except the avatars are us.
Biological avatars, if you will.
Indeed, this construct in which we live has caused us to gamify life. We may think we are creating something novel when we do this, but we are actually expressing the nature of our physical reality in analogy.
Whether we are aware of this is irrelevant to the construct, but our awareness of this is relevant to our outcome in the construct.
Time exists only to give shape and form to the construct. The shape and form the construct takes because of time is thought. Time is the propagation medium of thought. Thought is the language of time.
Now that you see that time exists only to serve the construct, understand that the endless array of choices we are presented with in life also only exist to serve the construct.
Because the construct itself is an endless mathematical matrix, it can only produce endless variations of itself. The construct cannot truly create anything original, it can only alter what already exists.
We experience this as the endless plethora of choices we encounter each day. We may think we are making different choices, but this is an illusion. The illusion is that there is only ever one choice we make, and we make the same choice again and again.
The different choices we think we are making are just one choice wearing different disguises. This single choice is what the construct is altering, giving rise to the illusion of endless choices.
The single choice is this: We choose either to act from ego within time, or we choose to act from love within timelessness.
Ego is a product of the construct. It was created by the construct to serve it. Ego is something we are all assigned. By nature, ego is a product of darkness, because its purpose is to obscure the nature of reality. Ego-based choices bind us to time.
Love is an expression of the infinite source from which all things come. Love is from a space beyond time. Love is our birthright. By nature, love is a product of light, because its purpose is to shine and make apparent the nature of reality. Love-based choices align us with timelessness.
When we act in love, we generate energy and spread light into the construct. When we act in egotism, we consume energy and spread darkness into the construct.
Egotism, anger, envy, doubt, and fear spiral energy inwards towards you, consuming the environment with your negative output of darkness.
Love, thankfulness, understanding, forgiveness, and compassion spiral energy outwards from you, feeding the environment with your positive output of light.
To continue with the video game analogy, we have made biological interactions with our environment into games with a point system, like “life points.” Some of the points we earn feed the construct, or, consume our energy or life points to strengthen the darkness within the system.
Things like enslavement to materialistic identities, egotistic pursuits, and blind interactions with corrupt and unconscious social systems consume life points from us and make the darkness within the system stronger. These actions have the power to consume the life points of others through interaction.
Other things like generating creativity, behaving in love, and conscious interactions with corrupt and unconscious social systems restore life points to us and make the light within the system stronger. These actions have the power to restore the life points of others through interaction.
Understand that even actions like earning money can feed the environment with light if done from the space of love. Understand that even actions like creativity can consume the environment with darkness if done from the space of egotism.
Our output affects the whole construct and causes the percentage of the light and darkness within it to change. The ratio of light to darkness within the construct is what determines the output of the construct. The quality of the construct’s output determines the outcome of our interactions with the construct and every system, group, and individual within it.
We can only affect the system we live in to the degree that we affect the ratio of light and darkness of the system. In other words, we can only affect the system by adding light or darkness to it.
That’s it.
That’s all life is.
Light exists only to spread more light, or to create energy. Darkness exists only to consume light, or consume energy. Light does not need darkness to exist, but darkness cannot exist without light.
Darkness consumes light, and light annihilates darkness.
You can apply this to any size system or group. This works on a microcosm and macrocosm. This is group energy—the interaction between group members. It does not matter if it is three group members or one million group members. They all contribute to the group percentage, which then contributes to the percentage of the larger system in which it exists, and so forth and so on. Literally and infinitely.
This is the power of numbers, and within it, the power of one. Just one can affect the whole system by the quality of its interaction with the group. This is accomplished by the interaction of one’s independent timeline with the timeline of other people and places.
Our individual timeline generates out from us, leaving a trail behind us as we go towards each instance of choice we make, in a continuous, unbroken line. It is not dissimilar to a sound wave, and in fact, perhaps that is the totality of physical existence—sound makes the non-physical manifest in the physical plane. Our individual physical sound would perhaps be the quality of our heartbeat, which gives rise to the quality of our voice.
Because time exists to encapsulate physical reality, you can look at any point on your individual timeline at will.
Traveling through time is not accomplished by hurtling through outer space physically at incredible speeds—it is accomplished by directing present awareness towards either past or future instances on your timeline. By doing so you alter your timeline by changing your present actions to move towards either the past or the future.
You already do this.
When you set a goal and work towards achieving it, you are altering your present timeline to move towards a set point in a future timeline. When you regret a past action and do not forgive yourself for it, you are altering your present timeline to endlessly repeat the experience of a past point on your timeline.
Psychology refers to these experiences as anxiety or depression, however, these are more accurately described as future-oriented mindset and past-oriented mindset.
Indeed, a method often used within cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat both anxiety and depression is to imagine a past negative experience and “rewrite” the outcome with something favorable in order to move past it. This method is highly effective, and I posit this as empirical evidence that the physical nature of time allows us to alter our timelines by choice.
Whether or not we are aware of our ability to alter our timelines is the difference between feeling trapped by time or neutrally viewing it as part of the construct in which we live.
When we view time as it is, we can then make appropriate use of it. To maximize our utility of time, we must understand that our timelines interact with all other timelines around us.
For as long as we are in that physical place, our timelines are interacting and affecting one another. As we depart, our timelines diverge, and their interaction decreases and eventually ceases unless convergence occurs once again.
How many countless instances have our timelines converged with those we both know and do not know as we visited a physical location, such as a store? Our mere presence in those spaces altered the outcome of our individual timelines, the timelines of the others present, and the outcome of the timeline of the physical location.
The magnitude of the alteration is proportionate to the level of energy we either feed or consume from the environment and the timelines interacting with it.
Direct interactions with others have a greater magnitude of effect than indirect interactions. Direct interactions are things like exchanging words, ideas, and emotions with others. Indirect interactions are things like passing others in an aisle without any exchange.
What is the quality of our interactions with others? Is it consuming or feeding their energy? Are the egos we are assigned in charge, seeking to consume what we can from others and take what our egos want in the process? Or, are the hearts we are born with in charge, seeking to feed what we have of ourselves to others and provide ourselves with what our hearts want?
What does ego want? Darkness. Confusion. Control. Manipulation. Destruction. Blindness. Subservience to time and those who control it.
What does the heart want? Light. Clarity. Presence. Love. Vision. Awareness of the infinite now. Knowing there is only one moment and always only one moment. Understanding there is only one choice and always only one choice: to act from love or to act from ego.
Look honestly with your heart in love at your interactions and ask yourself, “What is the quality of my interactions?” Are they what you truly want to express in this world? Do you act from ego, or do you act from love?
If it is not what you would like, understand you are free to choose differently at any moment. Do not let the ego trick you into believing that you cannot alter your choice, or that you must be perfect. You can choose love at any time, and even our imperfections and mistakes are teachers for our greater good when we act from love.
The heart wishes only for us to know the ultimate reality: Love is real, ego is false. Love is light, and ego is darkness. This is the one and only true choice, and it is always yours to make.
What will your choice be now?
We often feel that the world is a place where time is constantly speeding up, with ever-increasing pressure to perform up to the expectations set by society and the systems within it, and ever-decreasing time in which to accomplish this. Consequently, we feel we are running out of time, or that there is not enough time for us to meet these societal expectations.

We often become overwhelmed by the pressure to make the right choice out of the fear of making the wrong choice. However, this endless plethora of choice is an illusion.
The Construct
How are the myriad of daily choices we face an illusion?First, understand that time exists to rule the system of physical reality in which we live. In other words, time exists to rule physical reality. For simplicity, we can call this system of physical reality the construct.
This construct is a literal mathematical matrix, existing in every direction and every space of time at once. It is an invisible grid laid over everything in this world in every possible direction, with you as the center point of your individual timeline.

The single choice is this: We choose either to act from ego within time, or we choose to act from love within timelessness.
Ego Versus Love
Let us now examine the difference between ego and love.Ego is a product of the construct. It was created by the construct to serve it. Ego is something we are all assigned. By nature, ego is a product of darkness, because its purpose is to obscure the nature of reality. Ego-based choices bind us to time.
Love is an expression of the infinite source from which all things come. Love is from a space beyond time. Love is our birthright. By nature, love is a product of light, because its purpose is to shine and make apparent the nature of reality. Love-based choices align us with timelessness.
When we act in love, we generate energy and spread light into the construct. When we act in egotism, we consume energy and spread darkness into the construct.
Egotism, anger, envy, doubt, and fear spiral energy inwards towards you, consuming the environment with your negative output of darkness.
Love, thankfulness, understanding, forgiveness, and compassion spiral energy outwards from you, feeding the environment with your positive output of light.
To continue with the video game analogy, we have made biological interactions with our environment into games with a point system, like “life points.” Some of the points we earn feed the construct, or, consume our energy or life points to strengthen the darkness within the system.
Things like enslavement to materialistic identities, egotistic pursuits, and blind interactions with corrupt and unconscious social systems consume life points from us and make the darkness within the system stronger. These actions have the power to consume the life points of others through interaction.
Other things like generating creativity, behaving in love, and conscious interactions with corrupt and unconscious social systems restore life points to us and make the light within the system stronger. These actions have the power to restore the life points of others through interaction.
Understand that even actions like earning money can feed the environment with light if done from the space of love. Understand that even actions like creativity can consume the environment with darkness if done from the space of egotism.
Our output affects the whole construct and causes the percentage of the light and darkness within it to change. The ratio of light to darkness within the construct is what determines the output of the construct. The quality of the construct’s output determines the outcome of our interactions with the construct and every system, group, and individual within it.
We can only affect the system we live in to the degree that we affect the ratio of light and darkness of the system. In other words, we can only affect the system by adding light or darkness to it.
That’s it.
That’s all life is.
Light exists only to spread more light, or to create energy. Darkness exists only to consume light, or consume energy. Light does not need darkness to exist, but darkness cannot exist without light.
Darkness consumes light, and light annihilates darkness.
You can apply this to any size system or group. This works on a microcosm and macrocosm. This is group energy—the interaction between group members. It does not matter if it is three group members or one million group members.

This is the power of numbers, and within it, the power of one. Just one can affect the whole system by the quality of its interaction with the group. This is accomplished by the interaction of one’s independent timeline with the timeline of other people and places.
The Nature of Physical Timelines
We all move on our own independent timelines and interact with others on their timelines. When we interact with others, our timelines intersect. Physical places and everything else that exists in this world also exist on their own timelines.Our individual timeline generates out from us, leaving a trail behind us as we go towards each instance of choice we make, in a continuous, unbroken line. It is not dissimilar to a sound wave, and in fact, perhaps that is the totality of physical existence—sound makes the non-physical manifest in the physical plane. Our individual physical sound would perhaps be the quality of our heartbeat, which gives rise to the quality of our voice.

When we view time as it is, we can then make appropriate use of it. To maximize our utility of time, we must understand that our timelines interact with all other timelines around us.
The Quality of Timeline Interaction
When we travel to a physical location, we are converging with the timeline of that place and the timelines of all who are present at that physical location at that time.For as long as we are in that physical place, our timelines are interacting and affecting one another. As we depart, our timelines diverge, and their interaction decreases and eventually ceases unless convergence occurs once again.
How many countless instances have our timelines converged with those we both know and do not know as we visited a physical location, such as a store?
