Several days ago I was having a conversation with a friend about the function of time in the time-space continuum as it was shown to me in an ecstatic revelation in March 2000.
It is a convoluted tale which began late in December 1999. It was pre-9/11 in New York City and there had been quite a number of company holiday parties at which I had read a prodigious number of cards and palms. I was physically and psychically exhausted, but still a spiritual seeker in my down time. I wanted to practice creative visualization, at which I had already had some considerable success.
For the uninitiated, creative visualization is a mental discipline wherein, one visualizes and sensualizes (“pictures” if you will) oneself in the situation in which one would like to be, and by doing so enables the situation to occur in one’s life in the material 3-D world. This is a shorthand definition.
Have you ever heard the saying: “Be careful what you wish for.”? This is particularly true with creative visualization, because if you are at all good at it, your visualizations are likely to materialize. So you must be very sure that you want the thing or situation you are visualizing. I tried to think of something I would like to happen and would potentially be very interesting, but in which I had little if any emotional investment and about which I could think of no significant downside for myself or any others. It had to be something which was not likely to happen to me otherwise, so if it happened I could be reasonably sure that my visualization had had an effect.
I had long been a fan of Deepak Chopra and at that time I was thinking a lot about the concept of time itself and whether it was uniform on Earth and in other places and whether it could truly be characterized as a fourth dimension. So I decided that my visualization would be that I should have the opportunity to speak to Deepak Chopra one on one about the concept of time. The rules would be that I would visualize this three times over the course of ten days, which incidentally would encompass New Year’s Day 2000. I would do nothing extraordinary to make this happen, such as running off to an expensive seminar at which he would be featured, but I would go with the flow and take what opportunities were presented.
After I had done the visualization twice, I received a telephone call from a female New Age author. She wanted an intuitive reading at her home on New Year’s Eve during the day. I prefer not to go to see my clients, but rather to have them come to see me. For some reason I assented to her request, perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps because she was persuasive. She was very friendly but clearly wanted the reading done her way, which I found somewhat curious, because I was doing the reading, and I found it trying, because I could clearly tell what she wanted to hear. That is an entire story unto itself perhaps best kept to myself.
But the interesting thing was that she told me without being asked that she knew Deepak Chopra. I was taken aback that seemingly my visualization was already working. I expressed interest in her connection while carefully not asking to be introduced or anything of that nature. She totally misread my interest and told me flatly that he was a married man whose wife was always looking on. Wow! I told her clearly that my interest was NOT romantic, but she seemed adamant that it must be. This was simply embarrassing. I was very happy to scurry away after that, but sad that this was a dead end in terms of my visualization.
So I did the visualization one more time, the third time, and then nearly forgot about it as I took an interesting vacation to California. Shortly after my return I received an email from a friend in Florida in mid February asking me to sign a petition involving a TV show. Deepak Chopra was supposed to be featured on a news-magazine type format show but the network (ABC, I recall) thought the interview was too highbrow to appeal to the audience. My friend requested that I sign a petition asking the network to air the interview anyway. This brought my visualization suddenly back to mind. Although my friend is a yoga and tai chi instructor who might be assumed to like his books, we never had any specific conversation about Dr. Chopra and she was not in the habit of asking me to sign petitions and in fact I don’t think I had even spoken to her at all in the new year.
I went to the website and signed the petition. As I was reading the web page I noticed toward the bottom, that my old friend Alan Colmes was scheduled to interview Dr. Chopra on his radio show and it provided a link to click through to Alan’s show. I clicked through and sent an email note simply saying that I thought it was wonderful that he (Colmes) was interviewing someone in the spiritual (rather than the political) arena and wanting to know how I could tune in. At that point I hadn’t spoken to Alan in several years.
Quickly I received a response from Alan saying that unfortunately the show was not broadcast in the New York market, but elsewhere all around the US. I would not be able to listen, but would I be willing to be the first call-in contributor to the show as I was familiar with Chopra’s books?!!! I was dumbfounded. My visualization was going to come true. Alan told me that the reason for the interview was a new book that Deepak Chopra had written called How To Know God. Needless to say I wrote back that I’d be more than pleased, I’ll read the book, and please tell me what number to call and when. He responded that the show would call ME on that evening in March and I’d be the first caller. I got a scare when the show was postponed by a week, but that only gave me more time to read the book. I did not want to sound like an idiot when I spoke to Dr. Chopra, who I think is a very intelligent man.
The penultimate part of the story is I did get to speak to Dr. Deepak Chopra both about the nature of time and about his excellent book. He was very easy to speak with and I enjoyed our conversation immensely. My visualization had miraculously come true and proved to me the immeasurable value of visualization. I’ve not spoken to him since, although I’d welcome the opportunity, he does not regularly circulate in my environment. 🙂
What happened to me the night before the radio show was even more amazing. It was intensely personal and words alone, I am sure, will fail to accurately describe the experience. I had been thinking a lot about the nature of time as well as reading the book, in preparation for participating in the interview. Slightly before my normal bedtime I decided to retire early with the intention of meditating on the topic of time.
I had just quieted my senses to begin the meditation when I had what can only be called a Revelation with a capital R. I was spoken to inside my head by a calm clear male voice that was comforting. It allowed me to simultaneously realize that my body was lying safely in my loft bed while my astral body was being transported into Space. I was shown that time was caused by motion in Space. First I saw the Earth rotating on its axis, then revolving around the Sun. Then I saw the Sun with its solar system in concert with other solar systems traveling around the hub of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Galaxy itself was on its own journey with lots of other galaxies. Everything was traveling at enormous speeds in relation to one another. Movement in space created time. Living creatures on Earth are respiring beings with a birth, a life and a death and travel in one direction only in time, literally from birth to death. And in the corporeal sense one cannot go back in time, because every second the Earth is in a totally different space in the Universe and all the stars and planets have gotten to a different relative position. To go forward or backward in time inside one’s physical body one would literally have to move the entire Universe. Outside one’s body exploration in time is possible.
As I feared this description in no way conveys the awesomeness of the Revelation. You may or may not understand the words I wrote, and possibly have not had this sort of experience and for all I know you may not even believe me.
Two Postscripts
1.) Several years previous to this experience (above), I had lunch with Alan Colmes on University Place and Ninth Street at the Knickerbocker. During our meal the conversation wandered toward personal paranormal experiences. I honestly do not remember the specific experiences about which we talked. After lunch we walked north on University Place where a now defunct gallery was located and we decided to look inside. We descended a small metal circular staircase to the lower level to see the exhibition there. As we walked down we heard the clatter of a piece falling off the wall. The gentleman in charge down there was quite perturbed. Not only had a framed piece fallen off the wall, but it had inexplicably fallen outward about two feet from the wall before it fell downward. I think there are some persons with which paranormal thing are more likely to happen, some sort of synergy.
2.) During the recent conversation I had with my friend that brought this revelatory experience to mind I had a flash insight as to what one sort of hell might be: After death the soul is spun off into the vast, lonely cold abyss of space left to wander by itself in absolute zero cold always conscious but never to encounter another being for the rest of eternity.

Fun story well told. I use creative visualization so know it works, and relate to the thrill every time something manifests.
Your description of time/space is very clear as a picture in my mind.
From my experiences, it doesn’t seem possible to be lost for eternity… infinite experience and infinite choice may include the lost-in-space idea, maybe it would be interesting to go out there and see if I find anyone who looks stuck (Lifelines).

Dear Natalie,
Thanks for your comment. The Hell thing is so individual, you are probably correct that it is a choice. I’m glad my picture of time- space was clear.

I myself have never tried this type of visualization but found your story very interesting. I believe when we want something and focus on it, we become aware of different ways to achieve our goals. Really great to hear you got to do the radio piece. That must have been very exciting.
Thanks for pointing out the article to read,

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your comment. It is possible that things happened in the way you described them because focus is a big part of visualization and so is letting go. I guess I’d advise NOT focusing on things that one doesn’t want or negative outcomes. I’ve had really good success with visualization and recommend it to you to try out if you are working toward a goal. As they say “It couldn’t hurt.”

This story encouraged me to try creative visualization. I just do not know what I want to happen. The second postscript I found especially chilling. I do not even want to think about that.
May 25, 2012 at 4:0 1
Hi Ellen.
I hope you do try creative visualization because I think it will work for you, but best to wait until you have a clear goal. Good idea not to focus on the second postscript. 🙂

Beautifully written, Fahrusha. It takes a very special person to be able to tap in to the ethers, and let go of their physical being. Please never stop inspiring us to do and be better, and go beyond the physical being!

Great read ……i do not visualize much consciously as some where i believe or know that whatever happens happens for the best …….and our higher self know what and when to do much better than the conscious us. However agree visualization for manifestation is a great thing.

Dear Nikate,
Thanks for reading this post and commenting. I respect your trust in your higher self. It sounds as though you are not given to negative thinking and negative self talk that goes through the minds of so many people. That is truly a blessing.

Thank you so much, Fahrusha. The creative visualization is inviting, fits in with conscious intention; I’ll try it. I participate in the Interdimensional Communication Project, dialoguing with unseen dear ones who are actually so close., right here.
May 25, 2012 at 4:0 1
Dear Jo,
Thanks for reading this blog and commenting. Creative visualization can be thought of as a protocol for conscious intention, I think, just as various forms of Remote Viewing are protocols for clairvoyance. I’d like to hear more about the Interdimensional Communication Project.

Thanks, Leslie! He was very personable. Having been a guest on radio talk shows, I know he was probably relieved to be speaking to someone who had actually read his book and spoke in audible comprehensible sentences. 😉
I hope I asked good questions. I prepared more for this than for my own appearances.

Time . . . What is Time . . . We live in a world, a Universe where Time is Linear, we know nothing but the Day By Day Way of Life; One Heartbeat after Another, Tick . . . Tock . . . Tick . . . Tock, A Beginning and an End. Mortal means a Beginning and an End, We are Born and we Die – Linear Time. It is clear that the known Universe could not exist without Linear Time. Stars are Born and They Die, Just like We Do.
So, go back before the beginning, before the Big Bang, Before Linear Time existed. . . there was nothing . . . Anti-Matter, (Nothing) in Equilibrium with Matter, (Everything), Darkness, Nothing.
Somehow these two forces, (perhaps a decay of one of these – perhaps Matter), caused an imbalance and the Universe was born: BOOOOMMMMMMMMM
And there was light . . .
But what about the other dimensions of Time, they too still exist. The question is; “How do these forces of nature interact with the known Universe?”. We are aware of Black Holes and the Einstein/Rosen Bridge Worm Hole Theories.
Have you ever had a moment of De-Ja-Voo? You’ve Been Here Before? Perhaps this is a breach in Time, a waiver of Linear Time . . .
Discovery depends on an open mind, a neutral approach that allows the possibility that all things are possible.
I am certain that we have yet to discover the mysteries behind Multi-Dimensional Time, and that these forces of Nature do interfere with us as we pre-tend to mean something, to make a difference here on Earth.
The Truth is Out there . . .

Dear Kristen,
Very poetic comment- really great.
I have 5 points:
1.I think the most important thing is to be present in the now, because in a greater way that is all there is.
2.In the physical 4D Universe I think time is a function of relative speed in space and therefore passes at a different rate.
3.The physical body functions inside the physical rules of the time space continuum and therefore functions in linear time in one direction only. 4.The mind is not constrained by the physical rules of the time space continuum and can therefore travel in time if properly trained to do so.
5.The time space continuum may not be real in a certain sense as it is a construct of the Universal Mind, but if you are in a physical body, as stated above, the rules of the time space continuum apply to the physical body (see #3).
My jury is out on Black Holes!

I am very interested in your accomplishment and want out of curiosity to try this creative visualization myself.. Even though I will be more surprised if it works for me..It will be a pleasant surprise if it does.. Have a little faith a little voice inside my head has told me.. If that is what it takes..Than I shall.. Thanks for sharing your experience.. You have great powers…Jill Jacobson

beautiful post, Fahrusha, and profound. well said for one whose name means “the butterfly”……….demonstrates the potential for new consciousness and a new paradigm that is emerging into our world, aptly embodied by the philosopher and teacher Dr. Chopra. Strange, however, about your reader thinking you were “after him” romantically! I’d say she’s projecting something there!
I myself have often found “what you wish for” comes true, so it’s worth being a bit careful. Lately I’ve been wishing for more love in my life, and sure enough, someone dumped 4 beautiful kittens on me unexpectedly. Now I have 4 furry bundles of feline love following me wherever I go………

Hi, enjoyed your story about visualization and particularly your revelatory experience which sounded quite awesome. As one of the early graduates of the Silva mind control course I have been using the concept of creative visualization for some time and can testify that it is indeed very effective. My ruminations on time have included early on the conviction that when physicists from Einstein on claimed that nothing exceeded the speed of light they were mistaken as thought seemed to me to exceed the speed of light and if that were true the possibility that other elements might as well, became a very real probability to me. Recent experiments with the super collider indicate that particles have in fact exceeded the speed of light and have been tracked in this movement. In terms of time travel the experience in my meditations where I have experienced what I have interpreted to be past life experiences, not so much as memories but more as reexperiences which have been colloborated by dreams and other sources open the avenue of movement forward and backward in time as some remote viewers have done as well as some psychics have done which I know you can understand far better than I. It must be quite difficult but you have my sympathy when dealing with clients such as the woman who interpreted your interest in meeting with Dr. Chopra as romantic, again materialism rears its ugly head. Beautiful travels to you Fahrusha.

Dear Michael,
I think I was first introduced to the concepts as a kid from the book by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, “The Power of Positive Thinking”, after that I read some of the Silva material. I wanted to take the course years ago but didn’t have the money. Guess I wasn’t visualizing clearly enough in those days. It takes a while sometimes to reverse and unlearn all the things pounded into us in our earliest days.
I like your thoughts on light speed theory and wonder if you’ve read Dr. Michio Kaku who I heard speaking on such things recently on a podcast. I am sure you will be able to transverse time and space in your mind if you take a little time with it and believe you can.
Right now I am attempting to think about the several theories of the Multiverse. It is mind blowing to comprehend.
Best wishes,
Fahrusha

Hi Fahrusha, Sorry to be a little late (if there is such a thing as late) in reading your blog. Great discussion terrific comments. I know you know that quantum mechanics agrees with both your visualization process and your thoughts on time. Always great to hear from you lord knows you are never dull!!

Hi Fahrusha-great article. With you in manifesting…….Made me think of Rosie and the soul retrieval recordings we heard at the Monroe Institute: & years ago we all did a retrieval in Heartlines-I remember 4 pictured to me in a white room sitting on a white bench-4 men very dejected while looking down………found out later in conference that they had all been best friends and were resposible for the death of many (holocaust). You could feel their remorse (hell) and it was real to me….and was told their fate would have been the same as the victims had they not carrried out their orders…….so I’d guess this was a self inflicted manifestation atter passing – to be in a place shut off from everyone……I couldn’t get them to look up to the light and reach for help, so I flung them towards the ceiling and they stuck to it…….so they didn’t go far but it may have gotten their souls a little higher and opened them to the possibility of true self forgiveness so they could move farther towards God……

Thanks, George, for the comment. Visualization is the strongest tool in my toolbox for manifestation and TMI is a great mystery school. Be well, Fahrusha

Hi, Dear Fahrusha, It was great to see you in NYC. This topic is very important to our human understandings. Tho’ I rarely have the kind of “seeing” you do, my readings, (previously and YOURS,) tell me your vision is an accurate interpretation of what goes on in the space/time continuum. The only thing I would see from my view is that because we have no bodies in space, I ask what does it matter if we never encounter a human being. At that point, for me, it is likely we MIX with time and space and the components of all life as a part of a higher consciousness that does not get lonely and just does one thing: LOVE… LOVE and LOVE the everythingness/nothingness.
June 21, 2012 at 4:0 1
Dear R
aven,
Great to see you as well. You look wonderful. I guess I wasn’t clear in my words. i did not mean never see a person in a body again, but rather never encounter another being again. In any case, this will never be your fate as you are so much an embodiment of LOVE!
Best,
Fahrusha
