About time...

We can see everything around us because photons hit our retina. Our retina then sends an electrical signal to our brain which interprets that signal and reform the image. Basically, this is how we see.

We know that photons travel at the speed of 300 000 km an hour. Imagine that you are looking at an object (any object) that's moving. Imagine now that at the exact moment that a photon (reflected or coming from that object) hit your retina, you begin to go back at the same speed i.e. 300 000 km an hour. What do you see then? You see the same object but it's not moving because no new photons (no new information about that object as to its shape and position) reach your retina.

Imagine now that you are able to be at every coordinates in the universe i.e. your eyes can see every coordinate in the universe. What do you see?

You see every object/event happening at the same time. So to me, there is no time. Only an eternal present where everything happens at the same "time".

This is, I believe, how we can choose "where" and "when" to incarnate. From that "point of view", we can see what are the best conditions to incarnate taking into account what we have to learn this time around.

Do I make sense?
