On Time, Space and Matter Ibiru: Time, like matter and space, arises out of Consciousness. One way to visualize this is to see a large Wheel with many Spokes. The center, or Hub, of the Wheel is the Consciousness out of which the many Spokes emerge. Between every two Spokes is an open space, which represents the life and times of one Aspect - a person. Within that Space, everything is consistent and the individual experiences a Timeline complete with a personal and world history and a sense of both present and future. Note, however, that the Space is the life of one ASPECT, known as a Person. What does this mean? You do not think of yourself as merely an aspect. You think of yourself as a whole person, and, in a way, you are correct. Each aspect is, itself, a whole being. But I am going to ask you to suspend your beliefs about yourself for a moment. Samantha, imagine for a moment that you, the whole you, are the HUB of the Wheel AND all of the Spokes. This puts Time in a very different perspective. Each aspect experiences its' own Time, its' own histories, its' own wholeness. Yet each is an Aspect of the Hub, the Original Awareness that creates the Wheel. Let's make this more personal. You experience many different moods, feelings, and desires. Each of these is an aspect of who you are. You experience time differently, depending on your mood, physical state and activities. For example: You are bored and feeling physically under the weather. How do you experience time then? It moves slowly, creaking along. Minutes feel like hours. On the other hand, when you are actively and happily engaged in something that you truly enjoy and are feeling healthy and well, time flies. Your experience of duration is such that hours feel like minutes. Each mood is a different aspect of you, with histories and experiences of Time that are peculiar to it. Back to the Wheel and the Hub and Spokes. In the Hub, the Consciousness that is You knows no Time. This is the place of the Eternal Awareness. You remember this, Samantha, as the state you were in before you were conceived. This Hub is the First Cause of the each Soul Group. Ah, now we get into more detail. If the Hub is your Soul Group's Source, what about the other spaces between the rest of the Spokes on the Wheel? They, too, are you, although not the you YOU are familiar with. They are the other Members of your Soul Group. As each thought, feeling and mood is a separate and unique aspect of you, you are only one unique Aspect of YourSelf. As you awaken, you will become more and more aware of the other Aspects of YourSelf on the Wheel. You already know some of us. The particular Gardeners, as you call us, that you know are other Spaces on your Wheel. The boundaries of time and awareness that usually prevent much overlap until an Aspect reaches a certain level of understanding and memory are very thin between us, allowing communication. Time, then, like Space and Matter, arises out of the Hub, which is You/Us in complete Awareness. And, contrary to the beliefs of many, each Aspect is eternally inviolate. Who you are can never be destroyed. When the Time comes, and when your awareness is much greater than it is right now, you will become a Gardener and a Hub of a new Wheel. You will remain always an aspect of this Wheel as well. In this Way, universes are created and the Great Web of Being ebbs and flows in rhythm to each Heartbeat.
