Topic: Linear Time

The hallmark of non-human intelligence is identified as a lack of understanding of linear time. White uses the example of sigil magic results appearing before the ritual is performed and Crowley's role as the "Prophet of the New Aeon." He argues that while Crowley didn't become a world teacher in his lifetime, his influence on the space race and rock music confirms a non-human logic that views the 20th century from outside of time.

The conversation explores the disconnect between the Western linear time model, a product of the Enlightenment, and the actual cyclical nature of the cosmos. Bridging the gap between current conditions and desired outcomes requires inner shadow work and a shift in how time is perceived. Personal experiences with Ayahuasca ceremonies are cited as a way to experience time in a state closer to its true non-linear reality.

Psychologist Darrell Bem published a decade-long study at Cornell University demonstrating that human cognition can be influenced by future events. In word memorization tests, subjects showed a statistically significant spike in performance when they studied the word list again after the test was completed. A meta-analysis of 90 samples across 33 labs and 14 nations confirmed these findings, suggesting that human perception is not strictly bound by linear time.

The discussion turns to "flash forwards," a rare NDE trait where individuals see glimpses of their future. Dr. Moody and the host debate whether time is a fixed "groove" or an illusion, citing Immanuel Kant’s philosophy that time is merely a framework for experience. Dr. Eben Alexander, a former Harvard neurosurgeon, is mentioned for his observation that the afterlife is oriented by love and knowledge rather than time and space.

The discussion explores the concept of linear time as a "bizarre spell" and a product of the Enlightenment that separates time from place and experience. Contrast is drawn between the Western machine metaphor of time and the organic, intuitive timekeeping found in Aboriginal Australia and phenomenological experiences.

Greg Carlwood asks about the trend of "history hoaxes" and "phantom time," where the timeline of human history is allegedly manipulated. White responds by arguing that our fundamental understanding of time as linear and metronomic is a Northwest European error. He suggests that anomalies in history often emerge because we do not have a correct model of time, which traditional cultures view as cyclical or stacked.

SMQ details the rapid growth of his YouTube channel following the release of his "We Died in 2012" video series. He uses the metaphor of a rock hitting water to describe "echoes" of trauma that cause reality to dissolve into chaos. Despite having few subscribers initially, the video garnered over 160,000 views, suggesting a widespread resonance with the idea that the linear construct of time is breaking down.

A discussion on the philosophy of time explores the idea that the "future" is a behavior modifier used to control society through fear of ramifications. SMQ and the host discuss Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now," arguing that linear time is an economic construct. They conclude that focusing on the present moment alleviates the worries associated with obsessing over the past or the future.

Non-human intelligence is identified by its lack of adherence to linear time and human logic, often manifesting through complex patterns of synchronicity. Gordon White posits that beings like Iwas viewed Aleister Crowley as a "prophet of the new aeon" because his influence led to the development of solid-state fuel and the cultural dominance of rock music. This suggests that extra-dimensional entities influence human history toward specific technological and cultural milestones.

The discussion critiques the modern concept of linear time and the dismissal of ancient cognitive abilities. Crow777 points to megalithic structures as evidence of superior ancient engineering that cannot be replicated today. He recommends reading the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam for its unique perspective on the sky, suggesting that initiated groups have long held different understandings of reality.

The conversation defines time as both a fourth dimension and a mental construct necessary for human survival and reproduction. Marie D. Jones argues that while the brain perceives time as linear, the universe may operate in a fluid fashion where past, present, and future exist simultaneously. She suggests that "mental time travel" allows humans to access information outside of the standard temporal sequence.
