Dude!! You are too funny! But I get it. Man, our pets were once us in previous lives. Or future lives.Kwai Chang wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 11:10 pm
Love your pets.
Quickly, a beautiful footnote: I was at a New Year's Eve bash at the neighbor's place. We are rural. About 30 people gathered together and a pitbull named Diesel that was 130 pounds. As midnight approached, I was asked to check out a second dog that was laying next to Diesel in the middle of the living room. It was unfamiliar to everyone...where did he come from? It was bigger than Diesel. It looked pretty docile but...BIG! I approached gingerly and the animal looked stoned. I slowly reached for his collar and saw the following in Sharpie pen-----> "Please don't call the pound. I know my way home!"
Nobody saw him leave, either!

In my warped understanding of the continuum, it is imperceptible to us, but it folds in on itself. When we are pre-life, or post-life, we exist outside of the fourth dimension aka time. We are in a fifth dimension which so far has no real name. But in this fifth dimension, we can experience all of time (the 4th dimension) all at once. Or we can experience it in segments. And we can revisit the parts that mean the most to us as often (which makes no sense in the fifth dimension, whatever that is...) as we want.
A good friend passed away a couple weeks ago. I was right there when the paramedics shook their heads and gave the sad news to his son, who was already in the stratosphere of grief.
I have found that I speak to my friend even though he may or may not be there in my present, but his omniscient. And I come to the realization that he can be there in this time, or in the past, or in the future, it doesn't matter, because that's completely outside of time as we experience it. I like to think of time as a great river. When we're in the fifth dimension we can plunge into this river at any point, and either stay there, or visit other points along the river. We can't do that right now as we are "trapped" in this specific continuum.
It's really freaky stuff, I suppose. But that's how I see it. We are here and now now. But when we go we are everywhere and everywhen.
Anyone for a protein-style burger with some animal-style fries?
