Ripples in the Pond of Cosmos

There it is, all of it,
How clear a reflection do we need?
The heart stores the deep, the All, the One.
Our head with frizzled mind banters on,
As far as I can tell about nothing whatsoever.

There's a telling tale, from the old Edgar Cayce,
Reminiscing about his future life, on a ride
To what used to be New York City.
Like the streets of Falujah, horror laid out
For a ghoulish banquet of Death.
And what caught his eye and bent his ear?
A fear mongering gouger selling water at the cost of life.

Learn from our lessons? Change of heart?
For that ever so brief moment I caught it!
The tone of oneness dropped like a pebble
In the pond of Cosmos, rippling out
To the far reaches of the Creator's handiwork.

There on the shore of Everything
Welcome one, welcome all . . .
Ah, but so few are there. So few.
The rest? Choices made woven in time,
Give us our Now, don't they?

Why Prophets Get the Dates Wrong

One can "predict" future events, in that one is capable of "seeing" the event from the viewer's perspective, regardless of how many time-frames away from the event the viewer is. But, why is it that these very detailed future pictures do not land on the exact date pre-cognized by the "seer"? Why are so many "prophets" woefully inaccurate as to the timing?

Scallion, Cayce (who's accuracy broke down when he posited future time-frames), and many "remote viewers" come up wanting as to their time accuracies. Why are they so attuned to the healing aspect of the nonlocal universe, but apparently so scattered with their future event predictions? They can see the event as plain as day, but their dates seem to be always in flux. Could it be that this particular universe is a “Free Will” construct? That Time is not the primer that we have been led to believe? If, in fact, this Creation is a Free Will Enterprise, then Time would simply be a “carrier”(wave) for the Free Will to function. Time may be nothing more than the vehicle in which the infinite number of choices can ride ad infinitum until all of the possibilities are extinguished.

Hawking and Hartle were able to derive, from Einstein's General Relativity laws, a set of elegant equations that described how the absolute horizon continuously and smoothly expands and changes its shape, in anticipation of swallowing infalling debris or gravitational waves, or in anticipation of being pulled on by the gravity of other bodies.

The Universe anticipates our involvement, and, much to the dismay of many Hindus, this would indicate an absence (or bare minimum) of pre-determinism. This would allude to a more “friendly” karma, than to a set pattern that you can’t do a damn thing about. This dance of Shiva, then, ain’t strictly ballroom. It’s freestyle. The seers can watch the dance, and know that it will eventually come to a close. They simply are describing a “probable” future rather than a pre-determined future as to when the couples will stop, or change their dance.

So, the take on dis’ing the prophet because he can’t ever get the dates right may be doing a disservice to the “abilities” of the diviner. He is seeing it, yes, but there is no way for him/her to be as time accurate as we want them to be. And, as any self-respecting neo-physicist, shaman, or intergalactic amateurs would posit, “What is observed anticipates the observer. The increase in the quantity of the observance will alter the observed position in the equation.”

Perhaps, we should consider the event rather than expect its timing . . . even though there appears to be more than spare change to be made in the barkering of date-specific predictions.
