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!

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...

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...

Rocks vs. Sand: Discerning Reality from Illusion

I keep saying that Yahweh is all that there is and that anything that isn't of Him isn't Real. You may well wonder, as I did, why we keep seeing things that aren't Real. Sickness, death, poverty, sadness... none of these are in line with Yahweh's order or character, so why do we perceive them? Some might say that we live in a fallen world, but did not Yahshua finish everything on the cross? (John 19:30). If we are to believe Him that it truly is finished, then we can return to His Reality right now. We do not have to wait until we die to go to Heaven. Indeed, we do not even have to die. (1 Corinthians 15:51, John 8:51, John 3:16, etc.)  If you just looked up those verses and rationalized away that they are talking about not dying after you die and go to Heaven (does that really make sense, though?), ask Holy Spirit to show you His Reality and judge it for yourself. I, personally, cannot now understand why Yahshua would say that anyone who keeps His Word would ne...
