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.

Why Creation Isn't Waiting For You to Rule and Reign

There's this idea that creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their places and make the world what it needs to be, this idea that some day out there Yahweh will come back and take us to Heaven and reign from His Throne. Once we remember sovereignty and that we are One with Yahweh, we realize that we are the ones sitting on this throne with Yahweh. We also need to remember that time and eternity are One. Time is the instrument of Our growth, and We actually use it to grow eternity. Once we realize these two things, we can see that We are sovereign in our own lives and ruling and reigning from this throne right now. The instrument of Our dominion is Our choices. This is what Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 3 where he talks about how we each choose what materials to build our lives with. Some choose jewels, some choose clay. I, as the sovereign in my own life, get to decide what materials to build my life with. However, I cannot judge another's life. As each of u...

The Seven Views of Time: Circular Time

Isaiah 40:22 says that Yahweh sits above the circle of the Earth. If you look at creation, it is full of circles. The planets and stars are circles, the cells in a human body, the nucleus of an atom... even the paths that planets take around the sun. Circular time is much like the path a planet takes around the sun. Time is your orientation to an event, or an event's orientation to you. We are used to saying that ____ happened in the past or we hope ____ will happen in the future. In circular time, those events can come back to the present. The third view of time, spiracular or spiral time, is somewhat similar. Also similar will be the Seven Circles of Katalambano, but both of these will be mentioned in different posts. One of the strongest advocates for the Reality of circular time is the idea that Yahshua is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega. In linear time, that would not be possible as the End and the Beginning are clearly distinct, however no matter where yo...

The Seven Views of Time: The Time Line (Linear Time)

I have, currently, seven views of time. These views can seem to contradict each other, but in Reality they are all happening together. I have tried to draw pictures of it but I am not very artistic when it comes to drawing and, honestly, it is difficult to draw an omnidimensional Infinite-Eternity with motion on a still two-dimensional plane. The view of time with which most Americans are familiar is the time line. This is the simple idea of sequence; of beginning, middle, and end; of past, present, and future. When viewing existence through this lens, we can experience things in a progressive order. If we only view existence through this lens, we can look at our own lives as non-existent before a certain point. We can look at history starting in the Garden of Eden and continuing up to this present point. We have no access to past or future in this view of time, and we have concepts of becoming and maturing, primacy and order. The Truth in this view of time is that there is alway...
