Space is Curved
July 20, 1995
Q: If one were to start at
one point in the universe and travel in a straight line what would eventually
happen? One theory is that you would go forever. Another is that you will end
up in the same point, and that space is curved. A third is that space is
folded, and many of the galaxies we see might be different views of other
galaxies.
That is correct it, space folds, but so does time. It is a
multidimensional universe. It is a multidimensional, multifaceted universe. It
does not move in any linear fashion. If you start at one point and go as far as
you may go, you will not go anywhere. You will remain where you are for there
is no place to go. Do you understand? It is an illusion. There is no movement.
It is only a dream. You dream that you move because you believe there is time
and you believe that there is distance so you believe that you move and
endlessly you will move as long as you believe in these. But if the dreamer
awakes, they will see that neither time nor space have a factual existence. And
therefore matter does not move. There is no place to go. There is no time to
go. All exists in the moment, now, in this place. Do you understand? It is a
multifaceted creation. While stars and galaxies exist, one runs from another,
there is no distance at all. Space folds. It exists but it is all now, here.
Yet it is light years away. It is multidimensional, yet it is simple. Within a
given place there may be a hundred universes. Within a given time, there may be
a thousand places. But all exists in one place, in one time, for time and space
are illusions and therefore movement is also illusory. Inherent in creation is
destruction, inherent in birth is death. If you may go far, inherent in this is
the absence of distance.
So if you begin at a given point, you will travel through
eternity without end and you will not find the end of the universe nor will you
move one foot from where you began. Do you understand? Space is not linear,
time is not linear, movement is an illusion. It only exists within the
relativity of space and time. That is
why I say, to understand the physics of this universe, you must understand
space and time. And then you must understand a third entity, that is the
witnessing entity. For neither space nor time may exist without a witness to
observe their existence. They lie within the witnessing consciousness of Parama
Purus'a.
So there must be a witness and there must be space and time
for the appearance of motion, but space and time are not linear. So motion is
also not linear and its operating principles will appear differently depending
upon the phase of differential between the space - time development. It is not
linear nor sequential. What is far is near what is in the future existed in the
past and the past in the future for there is only the present. Do you
comprehend?
