If you're reading this, I hope that you've read part one in order to understand where I'm coming from. We left off with the idea that all of time is happening at the same time. Timelessness. Within timelessness, your expansive soul is living many human lives all at once. I believe that one small example of that is the experience of dejavu. All of us have experienced this. It is when you are doing something or you are in a place and you know for certain that you've done that very thing before or been in that very place before. The experience is something that has already occurred for you, though you don't know when or how.

Now, in timelessness, nothing can happen other than in the here and now. Also in timelessness, you are always in the here and now even in "other" life times. My theory is that when you experience dejavu, perhaps your life times are overlapping. In other words, the "you" 200 years ago (in the linear time that you comprehend) is colliding with the "you" now in that place of timelessness, and you're experiencing the same thing. Hence dejavu.

We can only discuss past lives as if they indeed took place in the past because our limiting minds only understand and comprehend time linearly. It is within the stillness and quietness of our soul that we can begin to grasp expansiveness. Once we are to that point, we no longer have a need to believe in the separateness of all things. Now we can understand how exploring the experience that our soul had as an individual human being in another "time" can, in fact, be changed. This is because time is a fiction of the mind. If we change something in our past life, we are actually changing it now.

Tolle states that our bodies cannot tell the difference between our outer reality and the stories that are made up in our minds. When you ponder this long enough you will see that it is true. That being said, we can get one step closer to understanding how exploring a past life experience and changing the story of that life in our minds, can powerfully impact the life we are currently leading. Which, of course, is all of our lives at one time.

So, in my example as a runner, I saw a shortage of time. I aged 60 years in a 20 year period, but, in fact, what I saw was that time is not linear. I also lived some of those 80 years during the same time that I am living now! I'm not going to say that this isn't mind bending, because it is, but it is also profound and powerful. I have never run a marathon in my life now, but I have always been extremely drawn to fitness. I'll go so far as to say that during the times in my life when I deemed myself to be unfit, I have felt enormously inadequate. In my life as that man running a race, I identified very strongly with the physical power of my body and with being an adept athlete.

I've given you some big things to chew on! Have to run outside now and enjoy the great day in my timelessness. Much love to all.
