“The present is the conjunction between the past and the future.”
I heard this today on a podcast with Joshua Cutchin (I highly suggest you listen to him on podcasts and/or read his books). It made me pause the podcast immediately. It was such a profound statement, a statement that can completely change the way we look at the paranormal and high strangeness.
Let’s start with the implications of such a statement. Right now, the present, is the point in which the past and the future meet. This means one of two things; either, right now, the present, the past and the future do not exist…OR…more excitedly, the past and the future exist simultaneously.
If the past used to exist, and the future will exist, then only the present actually exists. I feel this is a dangerous statement for many reasons. It creates an environment in which the past can be forgotten and thus repeated. And the future can be ignored, leading to poor decisions. It also does not allow for the existence of the paranormal.
But…if the past and future exist simultaneously in the here and now…
Psychics, Mediums, paranormal investigators, connect with the past in the form of ghosts, spirits, and history. They connect with the future in the form of divination and, according to some theories, ghosts (we may be the ghosts of the past, and the future may be some of our ghosts). The paranormal and high strangeness tie the past, present, and future together.
I am still working through this. Thinking about it and its implications. But the idea is exciting and I wanted to put it out there for you all to start thinking about it as well.
