Where Do We Go From Here?

I’ve always been curious about where our spirits might go after leaving this earthly existence. I’ve heard a number of scenarios. This one seems like the most plausible to me. I thought I’d share it, in case you’ve been wondering about it too.

First, I invite you to consider the current field we occupy as being Space-time. In Space-time, you can go anywhere in space. All spaces and places exist at once. With a bit of effort you can go anywhere. But time is fixed. We flow in it as we might in a river. For all practical purposes our position in the flow of time is one we cannot escape.

Now I invite you to imagine that, after leaving our bodies, after our so-called “deaths,” we enter a field known as Time-space. Imagine that in Time-space, you can go anywhere in time. All times, years, and decades, exist at once. Imagine that you may travel backwards or forwards as you wish. Now, however, imagine that space is the ribbon from which we cannot escape.

How would this look? Perhaps it would be helpful to envision some examples from our current surroundings. A road is a ribbon of space. So is a rail line. So is a river.

And how would this ribbon of space be defined? Who would lay out its path? I offer that you are laying it out now, in this life. Imagine that everywhere you go, everywhere you are, from the moment you enter this life, until the moment you leave, lays out a path that you draw on the earth, through time, with your being.

Now I invite you to imagine that, having defined a path through space, one lifetime long, you enter Time-space in order to travel back and forth along it. I invite you to further imagine that, since Time-space is the reciprocal of Space-time, you would be able to experience your life from outside yourself.

If in this life you were the driver, in the car, on the road. In Time-space imagine that you are the viewer watching the car travel the road, seeing every turn taken, every turn missed, seeing the viewpoints and the feelings of everyone you have interacted with over the course of your life, seeing their joy, sorrow, their every feeling in relation to you.

What would the purpose of this be? My sense is that this would be an opportunity for us to see, to begin to know ourselves, and others, to forgive ourselves for the signs we wish we’d seen, for the roads we wish we’d taken, and to forgive others for the same.

It seems to me that, if we are indeed here to learn and grow, that this would be a pretty good way of going about it.

Thank you for joining me on this journey of imagination. I invite you to travel well on your path. I invite you to imagine a life of joy, for yourself, and for all.
