Mar 19^th, 2012 at 11:42am Hi dear people, I have often wondered how time works in the afterlife. Could it be linear like in our physical universe? Or do you think we might just move between moments , time being nonexistent over there? Etc, etc ?????????????? I am keen to here your ideas on the matter Love Alan

Alan,

this was always something that puzzled me, especially when Bob Monroe seemed to state that from the focus 15 level up, there was no time.

There has to be a state of "before" and "after" for anything to change. Since what life (physical, or beyond) is about is change - becoming a better state of being (Love) - then that change must be measured by a linear time.

The clock may run slower or faster, but still it must run, in a forward direction, for change (whether positive or negative) to occur.

Swedenborg writes that in conversation with the deceased they lose all sense of "time," but speak only a change of state from one way of being to another. It may be that the way we measure things is artificial; orbits of the earth around the sun, movements of the clock, etc. We have the sense that there is linnearity when it is really just common interpretations of our consciousness encased in flesh.

Perhaps, free of the physical, the state of mind doesn't imply the same linnearity of thought. But there is and always will be a change from one state to another...

Alan,

Time here in the physical world always moves in one direction, from what we call the past toward what we call the future. All things here seem to unavoidably age as time moves always in that one direction, Our bodies get older and break down, mountains crumble, iron rusts, etc.

In nonphysical reality time appears not to be constrained to moving only in one direction. Instead, it can move forward, backward, sideways, etc. Things there don't see to be locked together in time there. You can appear to be older or younger in any sequence you chose without affecting your surroundings.

Someone once described Monroe's Focus 15 as "all time." That fits better vor me.

Hi Bruce and others, I think you are right Bruce, in the afterlife we move rather between moments than from past to present. Thus we think "when and where" we want to be and then we somehow go there.
