I was thinking about time travel today, which reminded me of the story H. G. Wells wrote in the 1890’s. In the story the main character discovers a time machine and goes well into the future, has a long adventure, and returns three hours later our time, then entertains dinner guests with an accounting of his trip into the future. As the story goes on, the main character goes on another trip and is never heard from again.

It was not the only story of it’s time though. Jules Verne had his own stories, regaling his readers with stories of submarines, underwater cities, and other wonders. Other writers of the day were also writing stories that would fit well in these two story tellers.

Phillip Jose Farmer did a great job in on of his books of tying it all together. Farmer introduced aliens into his story, with the idea they were being chased around the world. What if all those stories had there roots somewhere in fact, and not imagination?

Wouldn’t it be incredible to discover a time machine hidden away, taking a trip into the future and returning? All that is missing is the technology. Or maybe there is no technology gap. Maybe we do not allow ourselves the possibility that we already know about time travel, and we ourselves are time travelers already.

When I think about our history, I have odd thoughts at times. Our human history which we really care about only goes back a few thousand years. Before then, one day was pretty much the same as the next to us. Mankind made no leaps and bounds changes to their lives, but lived pretty much the same as people living a thousand years earlier did.

I have created a story of my own having too much free time one day. My story involves reincarnation, time travel, and multiple lives. Plus it all takes place in the last five thousand years. Who would want or need to incarnate before this time, once would have been enough, because nothing ever changed. Perhaps as some feel, our end is near, and our time is short on this planet of ours.

What if we incarnate multiple times in this century alone? What if we were to experience recent history and time over and over and over? What if you live right now where you are reading this, but you have read this exact post numerous times, living in different parts of the world, with different lives, different experiences, and different learning’s?

How interesting would it be living in the United States living in a family close to Dr. Martin Luther King, in India as a part of Mahatma Gandhi’s cause, or in Europe with all Europe’s changes in thinking, government, and political boundaries?

Imagine living a lifetime as a supporter of an important cause, returning over and over to experience this same cause from different perspectives. Living one lifetime longing or fighting for basic freedoms, and the next lifetime as an oppressor of those same freedoms?

What possibilities would exist for the growth of our spiritual self! Imagine being deeply opposed to something that does not conform to our present beliefs, and living other lifetimes accepting the possibility of multiple lifetimes during a single century as not only possible, but probable.

Living now as your parents’ child and coming back as one of your now parents Parent! What a tremendous possibility for spiritual growth! What we would experience to be able to live through all our human experience, living each and every opposing facet, experiencing a single event from all sides. Maybe Casey had mostly it right after all, and we chose not to believe him?

Of course I have to include a standard disclaimer. If you are in a lifetime where your framework of how life works excludes this story as a possibility, you may not know in this lifetime if it is true, or not. Unless you have a major paradigm shift, or life experience that moves your world and spiritual views, and live through the experience, it will remain only an absurd story.
