Eternity

There is an odd little story in an old book somewhere; it says that somewhere far away there is a great granite rock a mile high, a mile wide and a mile deep. Once, every hundred years a little bird comes to sharpen its beak on it. When the bird has worn away the entire rock, that is one day in eternity. From this piece of imagination you can begin to see the vastness of eternity. Many people have said that it is impossible for a thing to have no beginning and no end. But, now I think we are going about the whole thing wrong. Time to us seems to be an almighty power which we cannot escape from nor cheat, and the speed of light constant keeps us confined to it. However, what if I told you that in actuality there is no such thing as time? That time is but a result of us beings of flesh living underneath the speed of light? That actually to us time is just age, the aging of all living things and the decaying of all others. Let us consider time as a created thing, that it is merely the aging of things, let us consider that there is no such thing thing as time, only eternity.

Some people have told me that it is difficult to imagine eternity, but I say not so, it is actually very easy and it comes naturally to us. However, it is difficult to imagine an end. Suppose you just keep going towards Pluto, and pass it, you see other planets in the distance, you get to them but there are others still beyond those. In fact, in the farthest reaches of your sight you see still more, and when you get there you perceive still more stars and planets in the distance. But suppose you at last come to some end. What even would this 'end' be? a void? a giant wall? But whatever it may be, your mind still refuses to accept it, surely there is more beyond this barrier? Do you see that it is hard to imagine an end? Because even at the wall you would still suppose quite that there is definitely more beyond this , if you could only break down this wall you could keep going for sure. (My thinking is that if you keep going you would eventually find yourself passing earth again, as if you had went around in a giant circle; the universe is a spherical form, like a planet.)

Now, earlier I said that time is a thing created, a consequence of living below lightspeed. This is obvious if you are familiar with the general theory of relativity. The more you approach the speed of light the slower time becomes for you. However, what if I said our light, the light which we know is not the true light? That as fast as it is, it is actually a much much slower version of the true light, that it is only a pseudo-light. Made only for the sake of our existence.

Now, for the sake of my explanation here, let us assume that God and Angels exist, and that they are beings made literally of light. In our physics we have learned that light is a wave, undeniably so. However, at times, seemingly to suit its own devices, light can also be a particle. If it is a particle, then it is not unimaginable that light can be used to create forms and shapes. Therefore beings made of light are entirely possible.

Now, according to all the ancient and recent descriptions we have of these celestial beings of light, they seem to be thoroughly immortal, or at least to us mere humans they might as well be immortal. Now, keep those assumptions in mind and let us touch a bit on Entanglement. Old man Einstein found that two particles which are created in the same event are inexplicably linked, even if they are countless worlds apart, they can share information between themselves instantaneously as if there is no delay whatsoever from the distance. This is why I said that our light is only a slow pseudo-light. The real light is the one that the celestial beings are made of, the light much faster than our own. However, the real light is not so far removed from us, it may actually be the foundations of our existence. More on this later. 

The reason we cannot, or any physical object cannot reach light-speed is because of the absurd amount of energy required to do so. The more a physical object accelerates and approaches the speed of light, the more mass it gains, therefore the heavier it becomes and the more energy it needs to keep accelerating; but the more it accelerates still the heavier it becomes. In the end we do not have the kind of energy required to do this. However, let us suppose we did reach light-speed, the more we approached it the slower time would have slowed down, and the moment we pass it, time should have inevitably stopped for us, no doubt. One might ask, at that moment, are we immortal?
