Time, The Future And Stuff

I haven't made a post on here in a long time. I guess I ran out of things to say. I feel like getting philosophical today. How about you?

Okay then. I will go on either way. I sometimes wonder about time. Like is it already set and the future is written already, kind of like a book. The idea of free will and choice is just an illusion. The decisions we make today or tomorrow were already going to happen that way. That's why some people can tell the future with accuracy, it is about probabilities. For example Mr X gets his fortune told and the medium says he will meet a beautiful blonde when he travels to Mexico in a fortnight. She is the one. He thinks it's complete twaddle because he has no plans to travel to Mexico in two weeks time. But his boss asks him to go to Mexico on the 29th for an urgent meeting to help secure an important deal and suddenly he has plans to be in Mexico. What happens when he gets there?
The future is fluid, always in motion, always moving away from us.

So about time. According to Edgar Cayce (if you don't know who he is Google the name) in the spiritual world time does not exist. I think he was the source of that idea. It's an intriguing idea. How can time not exist though? That's the only way we know how to measure the passing of life. Maybe it's not that time does not exist there, it's just that they don't care to measure it. Time just passes by unnoticed, so it may as well not exist.

I had a dream a while ago that I invented time travel. Dream researchers would probably tell me all about what it means, but I sometimes have premeditory dreams about my life. I'm not saying that's what that one was though. I'm just putting it out there. So in this dream I had invented this device and it was for travelling in time. But I couldn't tell anyone about it. People are human by nature and so will find ways to exploit and modify things. I could put safeguards on it to prevent abuse of the privilege of traveling through time and prevent people tinkering with past events. But people are brilliant and would find ways around this sooner or later. Even just keeping it a secret would be hard because people talk. This Area 45 that may or may not exist in Nevada is a good example of this. There would soon be rumors that someone had invented the ability to time travel. So it's best if nobody ever invents it for real, if it's even possible.
Then there is the whole thing with time. Is it possible to travel back or forward either within your own lifetime or beyond it? What if you did? You would change time just by existing in a time and place where you were not supposed to be. Maybe the Back To The Future thing would really happen and the universe would implode/explode. Who knows right?
I might just use the device idea I dreamed up and write a story about it. If I'm good at anything it's writing. Even if I haven't got published yet. That's not what matters. It's just confirmation of my skill.

We are all here to learn, that is the purpose of life I believe. So if you've been able to keep up with everything I've been saying I hope it's given you something to think about or maybe taught you something. Whatever else you're doing today I hope it's fun.

Herobrine Furby

I drew this a while back. My kids helped me christen him Herobrine Furby due to his spooky pupil-less eyes. I quite like it. Herobrine refers to that legendary Minecraft fella with no pupils, in case you didn't know.
