To answer SHADOW and DOB;
Shadow, I think you misread me. No, the future is not written in stone, you are correct. You are also correct about the previewing and knowing that MAKES it unchangeable. That’s what preordaining is...making it so. What you see is what you get, whether you want it or not. If you don’t see it, it doesn’t have to happen. But then, of course, you wouldn’t know about it anyway.
To answer DOB’s point, the future is explained by Timeborne as the equivalent to a chess game. At the beginning of a game (moving through the dimensions of the future), there are an almost infinite amount of different moves (choices) to get to the end (the outcome you want). You can make many mistakes and still win. As the game goes on, though, the moves become more crucial. Make a mistake near the end, and you lose. If you see something in the future (preordain it), there will be many ways to arrive there or not arrive there, depending upon what you wish. But you WILL arrive there, by either doing everything exactly right (if you wanted it) or by making a minor, but crucial mistake (if it was something you were trying to avoid). It seems no matter what you see, somehow, even if it’s in a way you never dreamed, it will come to pass.
Another way to explain this is like this: When you do something that totally screws up, you say “Oh, I wish I had done...” this or that. When you do something that really lucks out, you say “Wow, glad I did that rather than...” this or that. Those alternatives (this or that) all existed out there in what some people call ‘parallel futures’ until you made the decision(s) you made. (Actually, there are no ‘parallel futures’..it is just like chess. The board just keeps changing as decisions are made or events happen, as do the alternatives.) Each decision you made had its own ‘parallel futures’, and they continued to narrow down as you kept making those decisions. If all of your decisions are ‘correct’, you get what you wanted. If, along the way, you made an ‘incorrect’ decision, you get what you tried to avoid. But you can’t go ahead and check out each decision (move) before you make it, because once you see it, you can’t avoid it. Someway, somehow it will happen, even if by what we call accidents. Like I said about your funeral, some things are better left unknown.
Just like DOB’s weather analysis, the most powerful computers compute everything they ‘know’ and decide the rain that is 100 miles to the west will move east and be ‘here’ tomorrow. It seems a safe bet, since weather moves west to east and it can’t possibly miss us. Then, there’s a solar flare or something, (a variable that was impossible for the computer to foresee) the jet stream moves because of it, suddenly bringing down a high pressure area from the north which stalls the low, and the rain never gets here. We get a nice sunny day for all the people carrying umbrellas. Actually, this happens quite a bit to the poor weathermen who try to predict the next day’s forecast.
Preordainment is not ‘creating’ the future. It is just you seeing what’s going to happen. Although there is no way to prove it, I would say that whatever it is will come to pass whether you see it or not. Like the weather before weathermen. If it’s going to rain tomorrow, it WILL rain tomorrow whether you see it coming or not. The future can not be changed by you or me or anyone else, except for that future directly affecting yourself, which you always had the ability to change with a simple decision. If you see a stock quadruple in the market, then, yes, that will happen. But it won’t make you rich unless you can find the money to invest, and then buy the stock. So you would like to invest $100,000 to make a sure $400,000. This may not be as easy as you think! Try telling your bank that you’d like to borrow $100,000 to invest in AtoZ stock because you KNOW that it’s going to quadruple in two weeks. Try asking a wealthy friend. See if any of them give you $100,000 because YOU’VE SEEN the future. Would anyone believe you? In Nostradamus’ day, he would have been burned at the stake if he said he could see the future. In Einstein’s day, would anyone have taken him seriously if he said, “Oh, I skipped into the future and brought back these formulas that really will work, although you won’t understand most of them for a few decades. Trust me, this one is for splitting atoms, and this one is for space travel at the speed of light....” When Jeanne Dixon told JFK not to go to Dallas, did he listen? If he had, then he would not have been assassinated. Then how could Dixon have been proved right? It had to happen, otherwise she would have been wrong. So nothing she could have done would have stopped it. You can see the awesome problem in trying to change what you see, or convincing anyone you know exactly what you’re talking about.
If I told you there was a now-secret society who long ago found 47 barely surviving pages of an ancient document called Timeborne, and learned how to use what they deciphered, would you believe me? If I thought so, I probably wouldn’t be writing this. The people who advertize on TV that they can tell the future, along with the ones who do shows in clubs and in Vegas, they’re con artists and ‘showmen’. Because of them, the Timeborne members keep their mouths shut. Other than the fact that they are all wealthy, you couldn’t identify one if you had known one for your entire life. Except that they usually make uncannily good decisions about things.
The exceptions among the showmen are the hypnotists. The ones who think that they are ‘regressing’ their subjects into ‘past lives’. They’re ‘regressing’ them through these different 'frames' of time which we call the past. Of course they’re incredibly accurate about their surroundings...they’re standing there looking at them. But they never ‘lived’ there. Anyway, how could there BE reincarnation? Think about it. Who would want to come back here rather than go on to Heaven? Who would make that decision? You could say that this is Hell, and you keep coming back until you learn something important, but then you’d be saying only the bad get reincarnated. But now I’m digressing into religion, and that’s wisely off-topic.
Traveling to the past is the most entertaining. The Timeborne call it ‘Verifying’. The history books are a big letdown when they go ‘Verifying’. But, there again, it would be nearly impossible to correct things that they got wrong. After all, they’re wrong only because there was no evidence for the historians to get it right in the first place. Timeborne can’t bring back the evidence. They can see it, they can know for themselves that the story is wrong, but how would they prove it? Just like with the future, if you came back and said “By the way, it didn’t happen like that. This is how it really happened.....”, who would listen? What would you say when they ask you how YOU know? These are other reasons that the Timeborne are silent. They have tried, down through the ages, and paid the price. As a society, people are still not open minded enough to listen. I wouldn’t without seeing it for myself.
Some have died while Timeborne, usually a falling accident of some kind. As I said, you’re not ‘really’ a ghost. When this happens, the comatose body dies where it is, of a disease it never had. Congestive heart failure, known in the old days as ‘consumption’. They don’t know why. Normally, people who die of CHF have symptoms and die slowly. Timeborne never have the symptoms, but of course, doctors wouldn’t know that. They’re doing autopsies, not diagnosis.
I’ll be back with more.!
