hi Explorer, all. hmmm. can somebody give me brief description of gnostic? is that person always want proof or they don't believe in nothing? if true, good luck. lol. we all want proof but it's an inside job. and once you get proof, it's not genetically imparted to your kids. lol.

Explorer, you seem to be wondering if space and location is still existent on the inside or the outside. maybe the reason our non-physical loved one's can tune in and find us so easy because space is an illusion for our use? a projection on the screen of physicality, which appears so solid, but is easily perceived as energy which is not solid. so if space is an illusion, then naturally time is an illusion for our use.
because on the other side we "think" a location and are instantly there. here, in physical reality, we get in the car and drive there.

I'm a great fan of Bill Cozzolino who wrote The Path.
www.skyhero.com  reading this book convinced me I'm in a movie. I am a probe, I am here to experience what it means to live a life in physical body. Bill has a scientific approach to human consciousness which only adds to my path, which I consider the heart path. meeting my future self also convinced me of the holographic nature of the universe. studying science does tend to blow religious concepts right out the back door, however, it does nothing to harm or destroy the heart path.

if we are in a movie, you watch the movie and make sure you always take your cue when it's your turn on stage. sometimes you can see the cues before they manifest. that can be fun.

keep studying but try not to be obsessed with the question is life "out there" or just "in here". there are question which we cannot answer, such as where is the end of the universe? you will pull your hair out on that one. I think when we stop believing there is anything out there which is desirable to experience within a body, then we slip into the 4rth dimension reality and maybe even the 5th, which is like balancing between two worlds and self creating, ever more becoming anew, and becoming living bridges of the two worlds. a different vibratory rate. meditation speeds up the vibratory rate.
Kathy, you do look very young, you must be doing something right my dear! I might add I'm pleased with the face you chose.
