We start simple - our first Time Travel

• The mind can go to the Past, Present and Future with ease.
• Where your attention is you are.

Exercise

• Experience the present moment with all your senses (see, feel, hear, smell, ..).
• Let's remember the sweet first kiss.
• Imagine a beautiful future event (e.g. hand in your great thesis)

Time Experience

• Your brain connects the events and orders them on the time line (linear time).
• Your attention to past and future has effects on physical, mental and emotional levels (you are holistic).
• Is it real?
  • Well, it is definitely real for you!
• Is it real for others?
  • Everything is connected. Others can also feel what you imagine; they can be with you in that event.

What Physics tell us

classical physics + normal everyday experience: linear time

Spacetime

• 4D space: 3 geometrical dimensions + 1 time dimension.
• Bird view of time (see all at once).

The distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion
Albert Einstein

Quantum Physics

• Schrödinger's cat (thought experiment).
• Cat in a box dies from a poison with a certain probability.
• The state is not yet decided until it is observed.
• When it is observed the outcome depends on you.
• Observer (Consciousness) is not separate from the observed.

Many-Worlds Interpretation

• There are several controversial discussed interpretations.
• All possible outcomes are physically realized in parallel universes (multiverse).
• Our consciousness chooses the path/the universe.
• Infinite potential and infinite possibilities.

Past and Future

• Going into the past and changing something means you go into
  a different universe (branch).

• Time travel is in principle possible: you are just in a different universe.

• Question remains: if and how the universes interact.

What Consciousness tells us

• Experience/Feeling of perceived reality.
• Experience of the mind: free to go to past and future.
• Is it possible to have the bird view? Yes!

Fourth Time

• Being present to a time continuum at once.
• Transcended past, present and future.
• Also called the eternal now. Being fully present beyond normal time.

Paradox?

• The body has limitations: it is 3D + linear time.
• The mind can be free (Fourth Time).

Possible Bridge

• Everything is energy: $E=mc^{2}$ (Einstein).
• Physical body: the most dense energy field.
• Mental and emotional bodies: more subtle energy fields.
• Body, Mind and Soul is a unity and should work similarly.

Exercises and Questions

• Partner exercise for 4th time (~4 mins):
  1. Look each other into the eye and be relaxed, stay present.
  2. One asks Who are you? when you feel the other is distracted.
  3. Exchange roles and/or change partner.
• Explore past and future with your mind and experience it with all your senses.
• What is your experience? How does it feel?
