Topic [105] Living in the past? TKR Remote Viewing Forum August 2003

It is the intent of the Dojo Psi that the living-history of remote viewing's development in the public sector not be erased, revised, or otherwise lost to the vagaries of time. In this spirit, the dojo encourages, promotes, hosts and develops archives of online Remote Viewing activity.

This has bothered me. If you think about  the time it takes for light to reflect off a moving or stationary object and then be processed by our brains into understanding where the object actually is and what it is, then wouldn't the picture we had seen actually have been an image of something that was in the past, a very very short past but...... this would mean that we never see anything as it actually happens?

I think some physicists postulate this is what happens.  That we are always, actually, living in the past. :-)

I think this is something that a person can let go of.   Our physical interface with the universe is limited, but functional, IMHO.  I think that's why psi and RV are so exciting, because we can play with it.

Reading "Holographic Universe", by Michael Talbot, helped me to understand this at a deeper level.  I found myself realizing that the things that seem real in space and time are very subjective, they are kind of like landmarks and signposts, if you will, that help us to find our way, but they aren't exact.

Kind of unsettling, it's true....but also kind of fun to realize.

Then there are presentiment studies that indicate that we precognitively anticipate future events.  So, maybe we're living in the past via our physical senses, and the future via our psi senses.  And then there's mindfulness practice, in which you try to let go of the past and the future and live in the present.
