Fred Alan Wolf : The Yoga Of Time Travel

Fred Alan Wolf is the author of "The Yoga of Time Travel" and is well known in the scientific community for his brilliant work in the field of quantum physics exploring possibilities of Time Travel through Yoga and consciousness exploration ... In this program he shows how time is a flexible projection of the mind and why some physicists are now taking time travel seriously.

Fred Alan Wolf is well known for his simplification of the new physics and is perhaps best known as the author of Taking the Quantum Leap which, in 1982, was the recipient of the prestigious National Book Award for Science.

Former professor of physics at San Diego State University for twelve years, Dr. Wolf lectures, researches, and teaches worldwide. Dr. Wolf has also appeared as the resident physicist on The Discovery Channel's The Know Zone and on many radio talkshows and television shows across the United States and abroad.

The Theosophical Society in America is a branch of a world fellowship and membership organization dedicated to promoting the unity of humanity and encouraging the study of religion, philosophy and science so that we may better understand ourselves and our relationships within this multidimensional universe.

An excerpt from 'The Yoga Of Time Travel' ...

Yoga practitioners have known about time travel since ancient times, and many still practice it today. Yoga is a system of practice that is a part art, part philosophy, and part science. It is a hands-on method for enobling one's life, finding purpose in it, and going beyond the everyday illusions that inundate us all. According to traditional Indian philosophy, the yoga system is divided into two principal parts, Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga with many minor divisions within each. Hatha Yoga deals principally with physiology, with a view to establishing health and training the mind and body.

Raja Yoga is a means to control the mind itself by following a rigorous method laid down by adepts long ago. The word Yoga shows up in several contexts in Hindu thought and has a number of meanings. Yoga is the name of one of the six original systems of Hindu philosophy, which provides the philosophical basis for Yoga as presented by the ancient sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. In the Sutras, Patanjali sets forth ashtanga
yoga (literally, the eight-limbed practice), which is now generally referred to as Raja Yoga. Again, the most famous Hindu text, the Bhagwad Gita, talks about Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga, three pathways for attaining enlightenment. The Gita also speaks of kriya yoga, as do the Yoga Sutras. When you compare them, you find they complement each other, leading adepts to say that hatha is kriya is raja.

Yoga as both a practice and a system implies a concept of time summed up in the Sanskrit word Samsara. Samsara signifies conditioned existence, boundedness, the yoking of spirit to spatial and temporal confinement. As Georg Feuerstein, a noted scholar and teacher of yoga philosophy, points out, "Above all ... Samasara is time." Feuerstein explains that the literal meaning of Samsara is flowing together, a perpetual flux of things and events producing consequences of causal relationships.

Many ancient hymns tell us that time - the past, present and the future - is the progenitor of the cosmos and that time itself is the child of consciousness.

Time Travel Parallel Universes Stargates 2012

Time Travel has always captured the imagination of many scientists, writers, poets, mystics and philosophers all across the world and today with major breakthroughs in Quantum Physics and the big bang experiments in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Time Travel is now becoming more real than ever imagined before ... Scientists have already verified that it is now possible for particles from other dimensions / parallel universes to enter ours through the wormholes created at CERN ... This is where science fiction transforms into infinite possibilities based on scientific fact making virtually anything possible in our holographic universe where it is all here & now !

Surprising as it may be to most non-scientists and even to some scientists, Albert Einstein concluded in his later years that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. In 1952, in his book Relativity, in discussing Minkowski's Space World interpretation of his theory of relativity, Einstein writes:

Since there exists in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent "now" objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical reality as a four dimensional existence, instead of, as hitherto, the evolution of a three dimensional existence.

Einstein's belief in an undivided solid reality was clear to him, so much so that he completely rejected the separation we experience as the moment of now. He believed there is no true division between past and future, there is rather a single existence. His most descriptive testimony to this faith came when his lifelong friend Besso died. Einstein wrote a letter to Besso's family, saying that although Besso had preceded him in death it was of no consequence, "... for we physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one."

Jenny Randles' new book 'TIME TRAVEL: Fact, Fiction and Possibility' extends a fascinating look at the concept of time travel, and the possibilities that it may actually be happening.

Randles presents many of the theories on the subject, a nifty one — whatever its validity — being that what we experience as UFO aliens are actually time travellers from various parts of the future. This would certainly explain why the beings show an interest in humanity. Another wonderful speculation concerns the real reason for the sinking of the Titanic being as deadly as it was. It seems that the ship's weight was supplemented by the presence of all those voyeuristic time travellers who wanted to experience the last few minutes of the famous ship's existence. "They were not recorded in any log-book," she writes. "They could not be added to calculations about depth of passage below the water line. And none of them hung about when the ship started to go down."

The book is full of anecdotes about people who have experienced what seemed to be time strangenesses. These include those who heard sounds from years past, and those who encountered alleged Brigadoon-like disappearing communities. Interestingly, some have thought the latter might mask unearthly abduction scenarios. Other fascinating items include cars and dogs which disappeared into and often reappeared from cloudy vortexes, Lindsay Wagner's physical premonition of an aircraft disaster, Randles' own premonitory dream of the space shuttle Challenger disaster, the allegedly time-bending Philadelphia experiment, human figures who only showed up in photographs, and anachronistically early human-related fossils which could be evidence of time-travellers.

One way to look for such people, Randles suggests, is to search through photos of crowds around major disasters and try to find the same faces in various eras. "Such evidence may not exist at all or may be very hard to find even if it does. But how will we know unless we try?" One could also look for reports of UFOs around these times and places.

Even now, there are people who have actually claimed the ability to travel through time. Randles examines these as well. But the book's range is not limited to the purportedly factual; fictional time travel in books and movies is also covered, from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court to Somewhere in Time.

In the movies, one favorite technique is to construct a time machine. Other ways of getting about include mere willpower, and a wide variety of other methods. But the "non-fictional" ideas are the book's strength. To offer just one example, she suggests a way that you might pick up future images by setting up your VCR.

While this sounds less convincing than some of the ideas presented herein, it does show the book's best feature, that Randles is willing to consider many options and doesn't shut out avenues of inquiry that are potentially rewarding.

An excerpt from the introduction to 'The Yoga Of Time Travel' by Fred Alan Wolf ...

"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"

"That's the effect of living backwards," the Queen said kindly: "it always makes one a little giddy at first - "

"Living backwards!" Alice repeated in great astonishment. "I never heard of such a thing!"

"-but there's one great advantage in it, that one's memory works both ways."

"Im sure mine only works one way," Alice remarked. "I can't remember things before they happen."

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards," the Queen remarked.

- Lewis Carroll, Through The Looking Glass

Most of us assume, as Alice does, that whatever we can remember has already taken place. If asked why we don't remember scenes from our future, we might answer: "Because, dummy, they haven't happened yet!" But as the Queen in Lewis Carroll's delightful book suggests, perhaps we do have memories of the future, however nonsensical that may sound. Consider the albeit radical possibility that the Queen is right: memory does work both ways.

The Spiritual Dimensions Of Time Travel by Fred Alan Wolf

That is, you are perfectly able to remember the future as well as you can recall the past. Further, consider that having a two-way memory could lead, as the Queen suggests, to distinct advantages. For example, it might help you deal with synchronicities and experiences of deja vu, avoid health problems, make significant predictions about your life, and offer many other benefits, as may become clear as this book unfolds ....
