Time and its Fluidity

7/28/2015

13 Comments

 
I’ve received an incredible number of inquiries, of late, from clients who’ve been noticing a peculiar tendency; their situations begin to improve after talking to me, before I’ve done any magical work whatsoever. This has happened a dozen times in the past 5 days, so it’s a trend that bears a bit of discussion.

This isn’t the first time such a phenomena has occurred.  I’ve picked up on this many times over the past few years, and there’s an ebb & flow to such occurrences. Some time frames and astrological shifts seem to motivate to this occur, but I’ve not noticed a strong enough pattern to nail down what conjunctions most-readily instigate such changes.

I mention this curious phenomena partly for the sake of discussion, to explain my thoughts on the matter, and in hopes that writing about it will hit me with some useful insights that I may apply down the road.

Humans perceive time as a linear procession of events.  [A] happens, which then causes someone to do [B], then [C] is the result of [B] being carried out as a response to [A].  For example, John ran out of milk, so he headed down to the store and brought some home. Thus, his refrigerator is now stocked with milk again.  While that is not an illogical sequence of events, when you look into the causal reality of the world in which we live, from a magical perspective its sometimes possible things to happen in a different order.  How would you respond if John ran out of milk, and then the refrigerator was restocked before he ran to the store? That’s the sort of conundrum one can face with magic from time to time.

I’ve noticed this tendency most frequently within love and lust-related cases.  Many times, a client will seek me out and I’ll discuss their situation with them. We’ll come up with a plan on what workings need to be done, how to do them, etc., and then go from there.  In some cases, the client will start seeing results that mirror the intended results of the workings I suggested when we were first speaking, and in many cases these developments are clearly atypical for the path the relationship had been following up until this point.

For the record, when I first noticed this phenomenon, it weirded me out. I couldn’t grasp what was going on because it made no sense.  The first case in which this occurred (and I noticed the weirdness) involved a man and his wife. The client had been on the outs with his wife for years, and she was contemplating divorcing him.  He sought me out in the hopes that I’d help breathe new life into his marriage.  So I divined, looked at what was going on between them, spoke to the man, and came up with a plan to better their sex life, get them communicating effectively, the works.  He thanked me for my ideas and asked if he could wait a week and decide. I told him that was fine, and he went on his way.

A week or two later, he sent me a wonderful email. In it, he praised me for being an awesome human being and thanking me for my help……and I’d done nothing at that point other than talk to him. I was terribly confused and bewildered by this, but I let him know that I’d done nothing, so I didn’t deserve his praise. He went on happy as could be, and I went to the drawing board to try to figure out just what the hell was happening.  This was some majorly hinky stuff that I really wanted to understand, damn it! Yes, I do get stubbornly insistent about things when I don’t get it….

Naturally, I decided to investigate. This had peaked my curiosity and I really wanted to know what sorcery this was – I figured if I had done something without doing anything, that was a pretty cool bit of tech that I could use later on down the line. So I divined and divined and divined, doing readings left and right for several days in the hopes that I would suss the cause out.  The result of all of the divinations was the same, and it drove me batty! The short answer was that I had caused the result by doing magic….when I hadn’t actually done anything. O.o

While interesting, the result was unhelpful. I still didn’t understand, and I was no closer to figuring it out. So I spoke to my Patron and a few other spirits, which lead to some interesting ideas and concepts to ponder. The general consensus was that I wasn’t nuts, and this could happen by way of time being fluid. Yep, a spirit told me time was a fluid construct before I ever read it in a book. I’ll admit, I was feeling a bit incredulous at the time, but my Patron grabbed me by the eyeballs, stuck me in a trance, and then showed me what I term as Wyrd.

Wyrd is effectively causal reaility.  It is the layer of existence that shows where, how, and why everything is tied together. Its like one giant tapestry with billions of weird looking threads that stretches out in all directions. It continues on forever and ever and ever, with no real “end”. Instead, no matter how far you try to travel around this megalithic web, you always go great distances and nowhere simultaneously. Once I figured this out and started paying attention, I began to realize that there are loops in every timeline.  Sometimes they’re small wiggles, and other times they’re massive spirals, and it all defies logic because of the way we’ve chosen, as a civilization, to view time.  I began to realize that while it was entirely possible for yesterday’s decision to change what I have to eat a week from now, its also just as likely that what I’ll eat six  days from now will decide whether or not I have sex in five minutes.  Yes, the connections can be –that- weird and tenuous.

The Web of Wyrd is a constantly-evolving machine, of sorts, wherein time moves fluidly.  Time can move forward and back, up and down, left to right, right to left, and any other direction you can think of or perceive as a concept.

In the case of the client I mentioned, my thoughts had linked to his wife in such a way that they had weight and began to cause changes before I actually performed and anchored the work in this reality. As a result, he got results before I did anything. There was, however, a troubling hiccup in this plan.

Since I’d never physically done the work, the result that had gotten worked into reality had never been rooted here.  There was just this big magical tie floating around in the aether, so it became clear that if we didn’t do the work, she would leave. And she’d do so relatively soon, as the client in question wasn’t altogether apt at keeping his missus happy. To be frank, I had no idea how to respond at this point. I didn’t really understand what I was seeing myself, and that wasn’t the sort of thing I could easily convey. I half figured I was going nuts at the time, as I was a bit unsure of myself on that front.

Well, lo and behold, his wife left. She got upset with him one afternoon, and the next he had been presented with divorce papers.  He sought me out rather quickly, requesting assistance while being a bit panicked.  As you can imagine, I didn’t feel that great about the situation, seeing as how I was not 100% sure of what I’d found, and thus hadn’t communicated my findings.  At that point, I “came clean”, filled him in, and walked him through what I found, explaining both what had happened when I hadn’t done the work and why things had come undone after the fact.  When he had a basic understanding of what I had seen, we made damned sure we actually did each working.  With this new insight of how magic worked with alternative timelines, we were able to get a pretty solid result fairly quickly. His wife didn’t divorce him, and instead shredded the papers.  They’ve, to my knowledge, been together ever since.

The point to my ramble is this: time is fluid, not linear, and that can be used when doing magic for folks.  However, one must do so carefully. If you do not take the steps that are needed and only discuss doing magic, if magic starts happening, you need to follow-through and do the work properly. If you don’t, bad things tend to happen.

Depending on the language, humans may perceive time differently.
I believe psychology and physics may discuss this a bit.
Quantum maybe but I am not sure.

I hope I am not being a nuisance but science confirms this as well

speed up to 20 minutes and there will be an experiment showing the same thing in action.

Mossel,

Thanks for your feedback.

Humans do indeed perceive time differently as a species compared to animals or spirits. We see it as linear, whereas that’s not always the case. The Amonwandawa tribe lacks an abstract view of time, for example: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-13452711

They see a progression of time in relation to events that occurred, but they don’t see it as occurring outside of the events they perceive. In that way, they are very similar to how spirits see time. Spend enough time talking to animals and you’ll find that they usually have the same progression. My own felines, for example, think of time as in the number of times they have to sleep before something happens. Sounds ridiculous, but I’ve explained things like “hey, mom & dad will be going to see Nana and Grandpa in three sleeps. We’ll be back in four sleeps.” to them, and they clearly understand – we can see it in their behavior.

Psychology likely has a great deal to do with it, as the perception of time allows us to set “time landmarks” for how things have progressed.

The actual progression of time outside of our limited perceptions, however, is another concept and concern altogether. And that’s what I’m getting at here. At that, I thank you for the youtube link – its an interesting vid. ;)

Returning to my point, however, some have theorized that time islike a two-headed arrow, where the future might influence the past. It seems there’s some science to back this up: http://nautil.us/issue/9/time/the-quantum-mechanics-of-fate. My basic understanding of this is that the phenomena is connected to entanglement, wherein two particles or events are related to and connected to one another. Unfortunately, that’s where things get uniquely complicated to explain, and truth be told, I am still a neophyte in my intellectual understanding thereof. I often see things in and through magic that I have learned to be true, without possessing the means or intellectual capacity to explain or fully understand it.

My feeling, for want of a better term, is that “time warps” are related to entangled dimensions/parallel universes (a la the Multiverse theory). It’s a feeling and UPG, rather than something based entirely upon intellectual understanding.

This article begins to explain the idea of parallel universes too: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/the-theory-of-parallel-universes.html

Interesting to consider, eh?

Be well,

In arxiv.org/abs/1209.4191v1, the researchers find empirical evidence that quantum entanglement can act retrocausally, i.e, the present affecting the past.

Pantaskios,

Thanks for the link. :)
I'll have to give that a read.

I am just saying this is an instance of science and magic intercepting. Possibly validating each other.

I have a question....

What would happen if you were to take an equation like e=mc2, treat it like a spirit's sigil and use it in a summoning rite?

What would happen?

I agree, though I thank you for stating that point simply. Your previous blurb on the subject didn’t convey that all too well, I’m afraid.

I was pondering over your query about treating e=mc^2 as a sigil, last night, and while I’ve never actually done so, it occurs to me that the effects would depend on two factors:
1) Are you supplying mass or energy?
2) Which form of the equation are you going to use?

The equation can take a myriad of forms and still arrive at the same answer, so the form you use is pretty crucial. Are you using E=mC^2, m = E/c^2, or c^2 = E/m? If you are using E=mc^2 to cause material effect, you must provide energy in order to create mass, so the working would either take from your body or from another source. If you were to use m = E/c^2, instead you'd be using stored energy in the form of matter to release energy into a viable, accessible form, and so on and so forth. That would be the deciding factor, I'd imagine.

I think there are a couple problems that would need to be addressed for such a sigil: 1) equations are identifications of two distinct "objects" in a specific regard. If you integrated that formula directly and *completely*, you would likely not be able to tell mass and energy apart (something that could obviously be problematic).
2) c^2 is a huge number. c is ~670 million MPH or a billion km/h, and then you're squaring it.
3) This formula completely disregards most of the physics/metaphysics involved in the relation between matter and energy and was made for scales so small that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is very real. So if you knew the kinetic energy of something as well, for example, you'd know nothing about where it was.

Fair point. I'd considered the "size" of the numbers referenced by the equation, but not so much the idea of where those objects happen to exist in time and space.

Ultimately, I don't know that knowing where the "other something" happens to be would be useful, provided quantum entanglement has been achieved. Seeing as how magic is effectively the art of creating entanglement and using that to cause results, were you to know where your materia magica is and could successfully create a connection, its a simple matter to effect something else without knowing its exact location.

I also been reading McCarthy;s new course work and she has mentioned a web being tied to fate and time. So you are not the only one.

The two more questions are:Isnt there a working or a sigil you can provided on this blog so people can experience it and contribute to a more in depth discussion?

Also can you really go back in time and prevented something happening, like (for discussion sake) prevent the birth of my grandma to alter things?

I could provide such a thing, but I won't. My saying so likely seems a bit harsh, but to do so would be like giving a child a loaded full-auto weapon and walking out of the room. There's a chance the kid might be able to use it, but the actual likelihood of that ending in anything other than disaster is incredibly slim.

Likewise, most folks have no business screwing around in causal reality. Them doing so would leave one giant mess that someone would have to clean up while potentially screwing up more than a few lives (including their own) in the process. Thus, I won't be responsible for giving a neophyte that kind of access. Its simply not my function, nor is it is something I'm willing to do.

Dealing with past occurences could probably happen, via magic, but doing so would create an alternative flow to the timeline. I'd imagine its entirely possible to do so, but I don't know that you'd ever notice it, because taking your grandmother out of the equation would take you out of existence. Winking out that light when it moves around, talks, and has a consciousness of its own might happen in an alternative reality, but probably not in this one.

What I meant with the equation thing is (I am only using e=mc2 for an example, the equation for the Fibonacci sequence could be used as well) and forgive me if my thinking is wonky but here it goes:

I have been told magic is a language from many sources. McCarthy is one. a few on Studio Arcanis believe this as well

Science uses math as a langue to better understand describe the universe.

I believe spirits are processes and math describes various processes of the universe.

So you I am thinking use various ideas expressed in mathematical form as sigils and seals and what not.

If it is possible to do this, the advantage is of a mathematical based form of magic is it would require people to actually know the stuff and eliminate hubris and many people who just "make stuff" up from the practice. I know this isnt conveying much, but I think it would be interesting.

As for the sigil. Thats scary! All it takes a few symbols or rites just to change things?

As for the grandma thing, the more practical thing is, would you be able to use it to prevent an event from happening or change it in this reality?

Like lets say I had a car accident and now cant work, wishing to have it undone. That possible?

Wouldnt that lead to a paradox where if you prevent it, I dont end up coming to you to undo it to the first place, thus the working never happened thus the limp leg remains?

I tend to agree that magic is a language from many sources. Some feel it’s a language wherein math matters…some don’t. I’m not certain where I fit into that, as sometimes equations and the resulting figura can be useful. Other times, not so much.

When I make seals, there are times where I fit an image and power into a set framework a la the Norse Helm sigils. Other times, its more free form, pictographic, or just all-out creativity at work. It depends on my feeling for the day, and on any given day, a sigil for the same thing might look or feel different as a result of the context in which I am creating or using said image. Its more an Art than it is a Science.

That being said, as a general rule, sigils can be, as noted by a friend in an email, “efficacious signs”…this means that they cause an effect as well as represent it. We see this with the sign of the Cross, various Hindotibetan mudras, sigils, and so forth.

If I’m trying to prevent something from happening in the future, working on the past might be worthwhile, but there are probably easier techniques to use and goals to focus on. If the event has already happened, its more worthwhile to focus on recovering from it, since trying to go back and change how things proceeded is often not worthwhile. My opinion and experience, anyway.

As such, if you had a car wreck and can’t work now, you’d be better off trying to repair the damage while working to learn the lessons of such an event. Nothing happens without cause. Sounds hokey and new-aged, but it’s the truth – I’ve spent more than enough time thumbing through causal reality to try to sort out why things occur that this has become an obvious truth. Its not really a comforting thought when crappy things happen, but it doesn’t change the fact that nothing happens without cause.
