We have never before been prepared  to do such a thing, but now it can be, 
and will be. The future of the planet  depends upon this and there is not a 
single person here that does not have  major contributions to give to it, 
regardless of how un-refined or refined our  memory of our past may be.
 
Think of it, here we are thinking  we are at the end of our time, when life 
and history is saying we have worked  50 years for this moment and we are 
the people to do it. Herman is right, but  it is not our past we need to 
recover but our  future.



Thank you, Bill.
 
I've been reading physics books the last few months (e.g. The Yoga of  Time 
Travel by Fred Alan Wolf, PhD.  This conversation regarding the  wisdom 
we've come to embody bears out that the seeds we scattered, the  maturation, 
and the harvest are all one thing. Somewhere I read that time is  just a human 
construct that gives meaning to change.
 
There are 2 major paradoxes in time travel: the Knowledge Paradox and the  
Grandfather Paradox. Are we embodying what we came up with in the 70's, or 
did  our future selves (who we are now) give this knowledge to our younger 
selves? If  we travel back and change something in our grandfather's life, we 
can't be  born.  Quantum physics gets around these paradoxes with parallel  
universes.
 
How would we begin to "recover our future"? Dr Wolf suggests the Dalai  
Lama's example of meditating so deeply that he experiences his own 
death/rebirth  7 times/day. Tillich talked about the Eternal Now a long time ago (so to 
speak.)  Eckhardt Tolle's books are helpful, I think. Wolf also says, 
"Through  focus we learn to master the skills we need to cope, and through 
unfocusing we  learn to relax and let the world in without judgment."
 
I saw the movie Alice in Wonderland Saturday, and enjoyed its approach to  
time travel, with the scroll wherein the future is pictured. But with an  
infinite number of universes, there are an infinite number of scrolls. How do 
we  meditate deeply enough to bring in the most helpful possibility?
 
Sorry if this is a rabbit.
 
Blessings,
