It's fascinating when one experiences something highly unusual, to find out that others have had similar experiences. I will have to check out 'SpiritWalker'. It think I could gain lots of insights from it.

Yes I agree that there are invisible worlds around us, and parallel Earths, or multiple realities, or futures, etc. I think the Absolute experiences all possibilities in space-time, and that is how the Spirit is also able to learn much more than what we realize. Consciousness would be non-local, outside of space-time, thus allowing it to live multiple lives as it radiates across the space-time continuum. Some of these ideas can be found within Quantum Mechanics and String Theory. And the relatively recent theory that the light in the Universe will one day go dark, as the stars and galaxies are sucked into massive black holes, is well within the belief system of the ancient Hindu mythologies of the Day and Night of Brahman, then the cycle repeats itself. An atom or subatomic particle could contain its own Universe, and our Universe may be surrounded by multiverses, seemingly being like subatomic particles in themselves. "As above, so below, as below so above", the ancient Hermetic axiom holds well in this time of quantum physics.

As far as the condensed lifetime we can experience in Kali Yuga, think of it this way: What do does a normal person in the industrialized world experience in one day, as compared to what someone would have experienced 500,000 years ago. I can watch a couple of movies, interact with electronic interfaces such as computers programs, the internet and video games, travel large distances, listen to any music I want to hear, etc, all those things that comprise our E-life. When I am watching a good movie, my awareness takes in the entire experience, as the Director designed it, and if its good enough, I can walk out having learned something new, experienced something completely outside of my normal existence, and something completely beyond the ability of someone who would have to use their imagination to harness it without our technology.

My teacher and I once discussed the invention of television, and how it allows people to live other lives, virtual, perhaps fictional, but nevertheless it may be a new experience. That was decades ago that we talked of this, long before the personal computer revolution and the dawn of the Silicon Age. He believed that the unconsciousness does not differentiate between the e-life and real life.

Secondly, are the properties of our awareness of the passage of time during Kali Yuga, as compared to the other great Ages. Time passes faster when we are exposed to more information and activities, but also it may actually pass faster due to the gravitational and particle waves that our Sun emanates into the solar system, blasting the Earth with highly-charged particle waves that affect the atmosphere, Earth's core, etc. That is with the instrumentation that we currently have now with all these Solar satellites that allow us to see the invisible influence of the Sun upon the Earth, and all planets in the Solar system. The Sun goes through its own changes and evolution as measured through time. Earth would have been different in many ways hundreds of thousands of years ago.

I suppose the concept then in terms of how our lives are intrinsically different than prior great Ages, is the sheer amount input that we process. Outside of the possibility that our technology has replaced more ancient forms of experiences and communication, such as telepathy and clairvoyance, we are speeding fast from birth to death, perhaps faster than in the other old Ages. A day for us now if we live in this e-life, can seem like a few hours in comparison to someone who lives in the quietude of nature.

These are simply ideas that I have. I'm just throwing them out there. But the concepts originate from ancient texts that discuss how time changes from the esoteric understanding of the Golden Age, through all the following Ages, and now in the latter end of the Iron Age.

But it is interesting that within a normal day, most people living in industrialized countries can experience so much, if they choose to.

But there is disagreement. Some occultists and philosophers believe that we are not living in Kali Yuga and disagree about the length of this Age. There is a good article in Wiki that provides some real good material on Kali Yuga and its qualities at the following link: [link to en.wikipedia.org] . The qualities of the age are drawn from the ancient Hindu holy texts such as the Ramayana, the Bhagavad Gita, throughout the Vedas, and other Hindu texts. Here is a quote I found interesting from the Wiki article:

"It is said that towards the end of this yuga, Kalki will return riding on a white horse to do battle with Kali and his dark forces. The world will suffer a fiery end which will destroy all evil, and a new age, Satya Yuga, will begin."

Strange that Revelations would also mention One who is Faithful and True that would ride a white horse and do battle with Evil.

I too enjoy the dialogue! I respond for others that may read the post without participating, and inject information that you know about, for the benefit of those who may be new to the subject.

Normally, I would never post in this manner, with an open ended question that may invite ridicule or doubt about the veracity of a claim. But rather than laying everything out, where often details may be missing, or other crucial information forgotten, this open ended dialogue allows communication to be more dynamic. If I simply posted the entire experience then I may have left out things, and much of what has been discussed would never have been written, because questions would not have been asked, and my memory would not have been shaken.
