For the first time in my life, I traveled outside of the US. \u00a0I took a plane ride that took 14.5 hours, crossed the International Date Line, and landed in Australia.<\/p>\n
Talk about having a first hand experience of Time and\u00a0Space. \u00a0On my way to Australia, I lost a day…just gone, which didn’t seem that weird to me, I was so lost in the excitement of being in a foreign country that it didn’t really dawn on me. \u00a0But, after being there for 9 days, I really had a hard time wrapping my brain around going back in time when I came home. \u00a0I left the Sydney airport at 11:30 am on Thursday, May 28th. \u00a0I flew 13 hours and 11 minutes and landed in Los Angeles at 7:46 am on Thursday, May 28th. \u00a0I arrived home 4 hours before I left! \u00a0I understand the concept of no time. \u00a0Time is just something that was made up by people to keep track of things. \u00a0But since I have been living in a consciousness that keeps time and measures most things by using time, for the past nearly 39 years, it is odd to lose or gain a day. \u00a0I don’t really know how to explain how strange it is to have that experience and how strange it is to have the understanding that time is Not linear, but like a spiral, and that all things are happening at the same “time”, there is no past or future. \u00a0Without having time to give us a point of reference, we would be lost, floating in an abyss. \u00a0We need time in order to exist. \u00a0We need time to tell stories and have an understanding of things. \u00a0But, in reality, it doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n
