I have also wondered why I wasn't given more information or a blueprint of some sort. But I follow your logic; maybe I don't need it. Maybe it's something I will just figure out. Can you tell me a bit about your visitor? How old you were? How old he was? How did it happen? How were you approached? Do you know what his means of travel were?
You may have already read my account of a suspected time traveler intervention. It was around 7 years ago. My wife was divorcing me at the time. So I decided to end my life. But I was lured away by the promise of a woman and money. The woman was an old girlfriend that had left a message thru my icq program for me. At the time the message came thru, I was in the act of ending my life. Is that timing or what? Anyway after reading the message I changed my mind about ending it all. On my way out to the mailbox that same day there was a letter from a stock broker that some stock I sold had gone through and I would be getting a check in the mail for over 3000 dollars by the end of the week.
Those two occurances helped me through a really rough emotional time in my life. But it turns out that the message from the old girlfriend on my computer was bogus. The person with my old girlfriends name claims someone must have stolen her password to use her icq account to send me the message. It does sound like a plausable explaination. But who would do that to me? And the timing is what really has me very suspicious. No one has the particulars of the incident except me. And if you reason it out, no one really has a vested interest in my future except me. So back then at that time I reasoned that only I could have actually done the deed if I had come back in time from the future to plant the bogus message on my computer.
So what about the money? I knew that had to have been a mistake because I didn't own any stock to sell. So of course I never did get any money. I just figured the stock broker caught their mistake and corrected it.
But somehow I was given two reasons to live on a day in my life that I really needed help. But who is the mysterious person that gave me those reasons? Of course if I do invent a time machine, I will be that person. That does raise some interesting possibilities. It creates a paradox. Because a time loop is created. Since I have a memory of the events taking place. If I go back in time and instigate those events, one has to ask: how did the loop start? And another thing it suggests is that there obviously would be an older version of me existing at the same time on the same timeline.
I do have additional fragments that seem to be stitching together. There was the time that I saw a man on a bicycle that I could have sworn looked like me and he was riding a bicycle that looked like mine. And numerous occasions that I came home to find my bicycle was missing. I do have a daughter and just assumed she had taken it. But it always was returned. And then there was that one day that my neighbor looked very astonished to see me as I was walking up the walkway. She asked how I had changed so fast and where was my bicycle. Of course at the time I didn't have a clue what was going on. She seemed very befuddled and I just shrugged it off and said it must have been someone else because I had been at work all morning and was just getting home for lunch. I can still see that look of astonishment she had in my memory. Almost like she had seen a ghost.
I believe I have actually figured out why my older self could be avoiding me. He has something I want. The girl. By forcing me to invent the time machine, he protects his own interests. Having my own time machine really is more of a lure than the girl. I'm not quite ready to try out this current time machine idea. But I have run across some interesting info that suggests that within three years I will succeed. Looks like my future is going to be lots and lots of fun. What is really so neat is no one is really ever going to believe me. But I have a date to make three years from now, and I have to be back in the past to make that date. So it is quite possible that my current idea for a time machine is plausable and very shortly I may implement it.
