The Seven Views of Time: Infinite Points on a Linear Plane

The first three views of time that I described in earlier posts--Linear Time, Circular Time, and Spiracular Time--are the easiest to understand because all of these are procedural, process time. What I mean by that is they have order and processes in which things grow and become. First, second, third... past, present, and future. There are also clearly delineated paths upon which you travel through time in these views.

The next three views of time about which I will share are what I call eternal views of time. This will be harder to wrap the mind around because in eternity, everything is always. What has been has always been and always will be, even created beings like us. Yet, we are definitely created beings, and there definitely was a Beginning, so how is that possible?

In order to create, Yahweh had to create procedural, process time. To do that, He veiled the eternal from us for a while so that we could see and experience our own growth and creation... so that we could become. However, Yahweh is revealing the mystery even now, and the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We are now able to traverse the veils at will, for He opened the paths to us. We can operate in all Seven Views of Time and bring our awareness to everything that is. We are learning to do so even now.

The fourth view of time is what I call Infinite Points on a Linear Plane. I know, a linear plane is two-dimensional and Yahweh is omni-dimensional, but for ease of understanding, Yahweh reveals Himself a little at a time.

Imagine a sheet of paper with an infinite number of dots on it. Each dot is a moment in time, a point in time. Traditionally, we have accessed these dots in a linear fashion, moving forward on a line from one point to the next. We've figured out how to measure these points out in seconds, minutes, and hours. I have also shared how we can access these dots in a circular fashion--moving in a circle from one point to the next to knit it together, or widening the circle to access different points. We can also access these dots in a spiral, moving forward or backward along the line by taking a path outside of the line to get to previous points to bring redemption or future points to bring resources. Remember, this is how Abraham moved thousands of years into his future to by faith receive the Reality of the cross. Yet, if we can move outside of the line in spirals, where are we moving to when we move off of the line? That's where the Linear Plane comes in. It's always there, all points in time and possibility, both on and off of our time lines.

For the Infinite Points on a Linear Plane view of time, we must remove the paths altogether. Yahweh wants us to be masters of time, not mastered by time, and so we ought to be able to access any point on the plane at any time. We ought to be able to move from one point to another point without having to travel in lines or spirals or circles. The entire Plane is open to us, we must simply access it.

It is important to note that every view of time is happening at once and always will be. Some traditional views of eternity show us traveling forward on an infinite time line. This is true, for we will always have Linear Time. We will also always be growing and knitting points together in Circular Time, by faith attaining more than we knew before. Spiral Time, too, will last forever. All of these views of time come together in the last three views of time, which I will share in later posts. The Linear Plane is our first glimpse of eternity. It goes on forever; it always has and always will.

For now, it is important to remember the four views of time that we have so far. The three process views of time are Linear, Circular, and Spiracular. There are three eternal views of time, of which we now know Infinite Points on a Linear Plane. The Seventh View of Time ties all of these together. Stay tuned to learn more!

Religion vs. Relationship

In the Beginning, each of us was created to relate to Yahweh. Our purpose was to receive the infinite Love that He wanted to express and then, by returning to Him, partner with Him as creators. Just as with any human relationship, your relationship with Yahweh will be unique and individual. Your partnership with Him in the Divine Dance will trace a different path than anyone else's. The way you interact with Him will be vastly different from the way that anyone else interacts with Him. You will know Him differently than anyone else knows Him. And yet, He is One. He will not be anything other than Himself. Due to His Infinite nature, however, we cannot presume to define Him. We can only experience Him as He shows Himself to us. Anyone who relates to Yahweh is blessed by that relationship. Sometimes people don't know that they have the ability to relate to Yahweh as individuals. They either think that they have to relate to Yahweh like someone else relates to Him or they co...

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...
