Predictive Systems Institute Future and past do not exist without the present. It's very important to feel the present. G. I. Gurdjieff For us it is Divinity itself. Rodney Collin MAY 1, 1952

The present exists to correct all our mistakes and prepare for the future, that is another life, desired for you. The idea of different times is extremely illusive, and probably has to be so, because if it becomes logical and obvious it means that it has already degenerated to the level of our ordinary mind and ordinary perception of time. For me, the key to the understanding of this idea up to a

certain point lies in Ouspensky's theory of six dimensions1—the first, second and third are clearly the length, breadth and thickness of space;
the fourth is the line of time that we recognise, the line of individual life; the fifth is infinite repetition of this life and all it contains—the 'eternal now'; the sixth must be the dimension in which all exists everywhere, all possibilities are realised, and all is one. The fourth dimension is 'time', the fifth 'eternity', but what shall we call the sixth? Many philosophies have failed because they tried to jump directly from the fourth to the sixth without taking into account the strange overawing nature of the fifth dimension. On the other hand, to study the fifth—eternal recurrence—without taking into account the glorious possibilities of the sixth means to lose oneself in a blind alley of pessimism. We must search unremittingly for a crack through which we can pass to the sixth, or through which the sixth can enter directly into us.

‎“When the soul awakens, it sees that all things are made of Light, and that darkness itself is but light misunderstood.”

Corpus Hermiticum

In May 1921, American polymath Walter Russell entered a 39-day coma-like state, during which he claimed to have accessed “the source of all knowledge.”

Upon awakening, he frantically wrote down what he had seen—pages filled with philosophical, scientific, and spiritual revelations that would later form the foundation of his manuscript *The Universal One*.

Though he sent his findings to 500 leading minds of the time, nearly all dismissed him as mad—except one. Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was so struck by Russell’s insights that he urged him to seal the work away for a thousand years, insisting that humanity was not yet ready for its truths.

Walter Russell’s revelations reimagined the very structure of reality. He argued that matter was not solid but crystallized light slowed by thought—that everything around us, from rocks to human bodies, was composed of light patterns, shaped by consciousness.

He believed the universe was fundamentally mental, not material, and that all things moved in rhythmic cycles—expansion and contraction, like breath.

He dismissed opposites like good and evil as illusions, asserting instead that everything sought harmony and balance.

To Russell, death wasn’t an end but the release of compressed light returning to its source. Even time, he claimed, wasn’t linear, but a spiral where past, present, and future coexisted.

These ideas were radically ahead of their time, blending metaphysics, wave dynamics, and a deep sense of universal unity.

He believed electricity was a living spiral of energy, not merely electrons in motion, and that the vacuum of space was in fact a vibrant sea of untapped potential. Health, in his view, was the natural rhythm of the body, and disease was simply a disruption of that flow.

Though ignored or ridiculed during his lifetime, Russell’s work now draws new attention in an era where quantum physics and consciousness studies begin to echo the same questions.

To many, he is no longer a forgotten eccentric, but a prophet of a paradigm yet to come.

Time is the measure of motion.

If we represent time by a line then the only line which will satisfy all the demands of time will be a spiral.

“His way had therefore come full circle, or rather had taken the form of an ellipse or a spiral,
following as ever no straight unbroken line, no for the rectilinear belongs only to Geometry and not to Nature and Life.”

To have the I to Be circle back to reinforce Being itself

Pythagoras

Ultimately, all wavelengths favour one specific pathway,
that of the Spiral,
the best way to conserve energy,
to move and cross through barriers,
in the macro and the micro, the spiral is self-intelligent.

Time is not what we think it is says CIA report

In a declassified CIA document from the 1980s, buried in pages of a project known as the “Gateway Experience,” an astonishing idea was quietly revealed.

According to this research, time may not be a linear force that flows in one direction. Instead, it could be a perceptual construct, shaped entirely by human consciousness.

What does that mean in simple terms?

That time as we know it may not actually exist the way we experience it. Past, present, and future might all coexist, happening simultaneously. It’s our limited perception, shaped by biology and societal belief, that forces us to see them as separate moments.

The document explored altered states of awareness, often achieved through deep meditation, sound frequencies, or focused mental training. In these states, individuals reported experiencing events across timelines. Some claimed to access memories from long ago or witness things that hadn’t happened yet, as if time folded into itself.

Rather than mere imagination, these experiences were studied by physicists and neurologists working with the CIA. They began to consider that consciousness might operate outside the traditional boundaries of time and space, with the brain acting more like a receiver than a generator.

This discovery has profound implications. If time is flexible and tied to awareness, then perhaps our future isn’t something we move into, it’s something we create through attention and intention. Healing from the past, living more fully in the now, or even intuitively sensing future outcomes could all be part of this deeper understanding.

It challenges everything we’ve been taught about reality. And it opens the door to a universe far more connected, more mysterious, and more alive than we ever imagined.

Neither in the future nor the past does this Self live; it lives only now.
Ashtavakra Gita

Real change can begin only in this moment, in the state of consciousness we have now. Imagining what we will do tomorrow is useless.

For the sage, the meaning of time is that in it,
the stages of growth can unfold in a clear sequence.

of growth as if they were six dragons (the image attributed

"As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day."
- Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
