If there is only one past, then isn't it only logical that there is only one future.
I've heard theories about multiple possible futures, but when it arrives, there could have only been one path to it.
So, if there is only one possible future, and one possible past then the present is just a slice of time between in the two.
With this reasoning, we can go as far as to say we are just characters in a play.
People 100 years in the future will be able to look back and see every you thing did, and know that you had to do it for their world to exist.
Everthing that ever will happen in our future, has already happened in someone elses past.
Our consciousnes is taking us through an inevitable series of events.
And whatever we do, we are supposed to do.
Everything is exactly the way it is, because it has to be.
And there is nothing that says destiny had to be created from the past to the future.
It could have been created in reverse.
And I'd be willing to bet that the end of time was conceived first.

Well how about that!!! I remember you very well! Your JavaMan, and you name is all over the web with interesting subjects
You're a genious dude!
I'm wondering how your property in Washington turned out. My Vegas property went from $260k to $60k in value.
Anyway, I'm still here in Pennslyvania, wracking up $ after $. Its been a hoot!
Its cold here. I need to get back down to the southern belt. It would be nice to know if whats turned blue will turn pink again.
Great hearing from you!!!

OOOoooooh...you're going to love it Jan. We drove the west coast for the heck of it after my last contact in San Diego.

I was whale watching along the Oregon Coast when the cell phone rings..
The voice says "Hey Jimmy, how would you like to work in Pittsburgh". I said "whhaaaa?"
So I decided to take it.

Along the Oregon/California coastal route, I noticed all of these impoverished coastal towns had three things in common...a convenience store, a hair salon, and a church of sorts.
Some of the churches were in barns, and trailers.
So, I thought, that if this programming gig ever peters out, I'd got ordained as a mininster license. I could go back to Oregon, open up a litte shack.
and call it LVDudes Brotherly Love Shack. I could even have one of those drive through red woods people could get married in...hahahaha.

You will LOVE Carlsebad. That whole area was made for a convertable. I had a six week contract in San Diego, all expense paid, and we spent each weekend in a different motel next to the ocean.
Had the best time of my life there. GOOD LUCK!

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does there a sound?
For most of my life, I thought that was a stupid question. Of course there is a sound.

I didn't realize the depth of that question.
My answer now is, "No, it does not make a sound". Without perception, the universe does not exists.
Thought, as it turns out, is reality. Dimensions exist within thoughts and without thought, nothing matters.
There was no time before the big bang. There was no space. I can see it now. There was nothing.

I think it was a thought that created this universe.
And when we die, our universe will cease to exist.
In a very real sense, this universe exists because we are here.
And it just may be, if you wish there is a heaven to go to when you die, that is where you will go, and that may be another illusion.
I'd like to hang around. To discover the universe is to discover the dreams of the creator.
Perhaps God did create you in his own image. Perhaps you are here to discover the beauty this creation.

I got this from a dream.
In my dream, the spirit of death wasn't a separate entity.
Now that I think about it, I realize it was me.
When he told me to come, I told him no. I told him I'd like to stay here.
This creation is my heaven, complete with beauty, magnificense, awe, happiness, sorry, horror and delight.
Ane even in an eternity wouldn't be enough time to understand all that there is out there.

I lay down to sleep, and dreamed I that died in my sleep.
I was in a city and the angel of death came to me. I didn't like his voice or his personality.
He said  "You have to come with me".
I said, "I think I'm just going to hang out here, and watch the animals, plants, and sky. I won't bother anything".
Then he changed the world into fire and said "You must come".
I said, "I think the fire is beautiful, I'd like to stay here if that's okay".
Then he changed the world to empty space, and said "This will be your eternity"
And I said, "This is wonderful, all of those solar systems with planets like ours. Please, I'd like to stay here".
And he said, "You Must Come".
And I said, "I'm staying here".
I remember feeling fear about going with him. He was going to take me to a place that I didn't understand.
Then I woke up in my bed with a smile.
I love this life. I love my dreams.

Scary Movies - I gotta see 2012.
I love scary movies.
I love the previews, with the earthquakes and all. Course, none of that makes sense.
I'd think we'd either get a really nasty suntan, run out of breathable air for 10 minutes, or something not nearly as dramatic as bridges and buildings falling down.
And that is why I love scary movies. They're aren't possible.
Dramas scare me for just the opposite reason
Because they are possible. Divorce, unemployment, heart attack, car accident, hunger, disease...those are the real monsters.
They're horrifying! I'll take a horror movie any day over a drama.
