The Seven Views of Time: Spiracular Time

Firstly, as a linguist, I am aware that there is no such word as spiracular. I make up words. When you're exploring the unknown, you get to do that. It's one of the many perks.

This next view of time will be more difficult to comprehend than linear or circular time, and I haven't heard of a culture that really bases their view of time on a spiral.

I will also say here that I haven't explored the time spiral as much as the timeline and the circle of time. Indeed, there will be much more revelation on the time spiral as I travel the time spiral...

Spiracular time is much like circular time, except that instead of hitting the same point over and over again, you are hitting points slightly farther out than the ones you hit before. It is for this reason that spiral time allows progress to happen, while also allowing you to revisit or learn again something you've already experienced.

My views on redemption have changed quite a bit in the past few months. Redemption is only of your mind and your view of the world, where you see that Yahweh is all that there is and ever was. Certain things you thought were Real are not Real, and those thoughts and patterns and views of past and future experiences have to be redeemed.

Spiracular time allows you to take your current revelation into past experiences so that you can see them as they Really were... or were not. It is in this way that you can access points of time and events in your past and redeem them to the point that the things that are contrary to Yahweh didn't happen, cannot hurt you, and cannot hurt anyone who comes into agreement in faith with Yahweh's Reality.

This can be a difficult thing when there are others in your life in your timeline who do not have the faith to travel the time spiral. They may not come into agreement with you that certain things never happened. That is their choice and in no way has to affect your ability to redeem the past. Indeed, you can help them redeem the past by traveling the time spiral with the revelation that certain things they did to you didn't happen. This is called "forgiveness."

Again, to redefine forgiveness, it is realizing the Reality in an event or incident in a relationship with another person. ____ stole from you, lied to you, betrayed you, cheated you, hurt you? No. None of that happened because that isn't Yahweh and Yahweh is all that there is. If you can truly see another person that way, you can forgive them and help them see the potential in spiracular time. Perhaps they will travel this path themselves one day. I believe they will!

But spiracular time is not only for redemption or forgiveness of past events. It is also for forward progress. This is where the time spiral and the time circle become very similar, because every time you hit a point in forward momentum that is on roughly the same line, you are experiencing spiral time, but this is also in circular time where you are hitting the same point over and over again. Every time you hit this point, receive a new revelation, and assimilate that revelation into your paradigm or view of Reality, you move forward (or out) in the spiral.

I used to worry about these things, when two things seemed to be one and yet seemed to be separate, but then Yahweh reminded me that He is Elohim, the multiplicity of the singular. Elohim is a Hebrew name used for Yahweh that is a plural noun that uses a singular verb. In other words, Yahweh is all things and all things are Him. Yet all things have an individuality. So everything is One and yet separate also... all at the same time! But that's another post (and another view of time.) I suppose my point here is that all of these views of time are One, and so circular time and spiracular time sharing some components is not surprising.

Spiracular time allows us to grow, then, in Yahweh without being confined to a line and forward progress. It allows us to hit points on our timeline that we thought were inaccessible, behind us. It allows us to hit points that are outside of our timeline, also. Yes, it allows us to move up and down as well as forward and backward, and that will be important later. I know this, though I don't yet know quite how.

I said in a previous post that Abraham was able to move forward in time to the fulfillment of Yahshua on the cross and obtain the righteousness given to us there either via circular time or spiracular time, though I wasn't sure which. I honestly think it was both. Romans 4:9-12 talks about how Abraham was justified by faith before he was circumcised. Paul was using this illustration to show how the just are saved by faith instead of works, but it also shows how it is possible to have things before they happen. In other words, because Abraham had faith in Yahshua even though Yahshua hadn't accomplished His purpose on the cross in linear time, he was able to move forward into that moment in time on the cross and join himself to that finished work, bringing it back with him to the moment in the timeline in which he lived, thousands of years before. Only after that was he circumcised in linear time.

Any of us who have received the righteousness given by Yahshua on the cross have also traveled in spiral time. Abraham had to move forward in the timeline, but we had to move backward. Galatians 2:20 says we were crucified with Christ. Romans 6:1-11 also says that we were baptized into Christ's "death" that we might also be alive to Christ. Do we think this mere cute symbolism? Do we think that this only happens in our hearts once we believe? Or do we truly believe that we were with Christ on the cross when He said, "It is finished" and we are able to live in Him and His finished work even now?

Both of these illustrations have to do with faith. Abraham believed Yahweh and it was accounted to Him as righteousness. We believed in Yahshua's finished work and so have lain hold of our Promise. All motion through time is of faith. We cannot access any other point in the infinite-eternal spectrum except by faith and total Covenant. Circular time is binding yourself to each point by faith, spiracular time allows you freedom to move through the Planes of Infinity and all points therein by faith. I would even say here that people cannot move forward in linear time except by faith. Don't we all know people whose lives just seem to stop? They stop growing in Christ, creating, maturing, and truly living. Even though they may exist and get older, they don't really move forward. This is because you really can't have any progress or movement in time except by faith.

The Meaning of Life

You know, people have been seeking and selling the meaning of life for probably as long as humanity has existed. Why are we here? What is our purpose? People have written countless books--many of which you can find in the self-help section of your local bookstore--about why humans are here and how to discover your unique purpose and meaning. Men and women often search for meaning in many places, usually in their jobs, their children, or their relationship with others. We are here to help others. We are here to give sacrificially. We are here to make the world a better place. We are here to leave a legacy. We are here to accomplish something... I have heard answers that range from "Life is a test for what you can handle in Heaven" to "We are here to fulfill a unique purpose designed for us by Yahweh and to bring Him glory in a way that only we can." The first one is, respectfully, preposterous, and the second one falls short of the greater Truth. Ultimately, no...

Pie

Imagine that all the love, affection, and resources (time, finances, emotional space, etc.) that each of us has is a pie. This pie may be larger or smaller depending on capacity and circumstances in a person’s life. Now, in order to be healthy and satisfied, each person must constantly be consuming an entire pie. But, after eating a single slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie cannot satisfy us or give us any nutritional value. What are we to do? We must give ourselves the first slice of our pie. This is self-love or self-care. That first slice imbues all of the other slices of our pie with nutritional value. But, after we have consumed the first slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie will give us nothing if we eat it ourselves. We must give the other slices of our pie to other people. Still, we must consume a whole pie to be satisfied, so others must give to us as well. In a healthy, functioning society and group, it would look like this: each of us eats our own first slice...

The Concept of Good and Evil Leads to Complacency and Complicity in the Things We Wish to Avoid

I am proud to be an American. I love my country, and I think it is the best place for me to live. I know that freedom is a fundamental element of our history and our present. I also know that freedom has not been given equally to everyone. I used to believe that I couldn't be proud of my country or a patriotic citizen if I acknowledged or decried any of the issues that existed throughout our history and still exist today. Yes, I acknowledged slavery, "but that was over a hundred years ago, let's get over it." Yes, I acknowledged racism, "but it's so rare and most people aren't racist today, let's get over it." Or so I thought. I was raised in the dichotomous mental concept of good and evil. Something and someone was either good or evil, never both. Or if they were both, "that was a while ago, let's get over it." And maybe they still had a few issues, but we could only acknowledge the small ones and maybe excuse them with "t...
