Real-life time travel: Travelers, religion


Anyone who disbelieves in real-life time travel may want to spend some time watching "Glitch in the Matrix" videos content creators make by gathering testimonies of inexplicable real-life experiences.

Let's time travel! - To when? - To next weekend!
An anonymous time traveler operating under the alias Darryl Dean (from 2033) claims to hold a detailed chronology of upcoming events on Earth. The mysterious man shared his shocking predictions on the internet in a bid to validate the remarkable assertion that time travel is real.

In his declaration, the time traveler prophesized alien (ET) contact and global peace. He said: "I saw that there was a lot of skepticism regarding my story, and I want to say that it is not my goal to convince everyone that I am telling the truth. I simply want to speak to those of you who will listen."


Mr. Dean insists he comes from the Year 2033 and initially intended to stay in the current era only briefly. Speaking with the paranormal investigators from the YouTube platform ApexTV, purported time traveler Dean argued his predictions will prove accurate over time.

The math checks out! It's theoretically possible.
He said: "I saw a bunch of questions asking if there are going to be any wars in the future. I can tell you that there will be no major wars, and when the aliens come in 2028, they will usher in a state of peace and prosperity. People will realize they are not so different, and the entire world will unite," reports the Daily Star.

Humanity's descendants will also embrace a single universal religion, which Mr. Dean asserted will have replaced all existing faiths by 2033. He refused to share any details about the religion, fearing it might cause a temporal paradox.

Neil de Grasse Tyson believes

The self-proclaimed time traveler then claimed that time travel technology becomes public knowledge in 2028, along with revelations about extraterrestrial life forms beyond our planet.
Time travel in religion

What's real, how can we know? Practice
Some ancient accounts feature characters who appear to leap forward in time. In Buddhism's Pāli canon, the Payasi Sutta ("Payasi Discourse") describes how the disciple Ven. Kumara Kassapa explains to a skeptic that time flows differently on different planes of existence, particularly the long-lasting heavenly realms [4].

Christian time jumping with Rip VW

Drink and idle hands make for sleepiness.
American and European Christians (with a capitalist work ethic to teach) persistently recount the tale of Rip Van Winkle, a Dutch American man with a habit of avoiding work. Rip lives in a village at the foot of the Catskill Mountains years before the American Revolution. 

One day, he goes squirrel hunting in the mountains with his dog, Wolf, to escape his wife's irritation.

You're off your rocker, old coot! - No, I'm not!
When evening comes, he hears a voice calling his name and finds a man dressed in old-fashioned Dutch clothing, carrying a keg of alcohol. Rip helps the man carry his burden to a cleft in the rocks from which thunderous noises are emanating; the source proves to be a group of bearded men wearing similar outfits playing ninepins.

Hinduism derives from Vedas
In Hinduism's Vishnu Purana we find the story of Raivata Kakudmi (son of Revata), who visits the God Brahma in a certain heaven then returns to Earth to find that many ages have elapsed [2, 3]. King Kakudmi is a king often featured in Hindu literature. He is described as the king of Kushasthali, the son of Revata [1] and the father of Revati, the consort of the deity Balarama. His account is given within texts such as the Mahabharata, the Harivamsha, the Devi Bhagavatam, and the Bhagavata Purana.
 

The Japanese legend of "Urashima Tarō," first recorded in the Manyoshu, tells of a fisherman who visits an undersea palace for three days, only to return and find that centuries have passed and his world is gone [5].
  • This should be compared to Middle Length Discourse 50 (MN 50), where Ven. Maha Moggallana describes mermaids ("sea nymphs") dancing in dazzling undersea palaces, which he can see through his highly developed psychic powers but which has not made sense to scholars and readers ever since his comments were written and included in the Pali canon: "In the middle of the ocean/There are mansions aeon-lasting, Sapphire-shining, fiery-gleaming/With a clear translucent luster,/Where iridescent sea-nymphs dance/In complex, intricate rhythms."
Jewish time travel?
In one Jewish tradition, the Prophet Mo (Moses) is transported by one of his tribal Gods to the study hall of Rabbi Akiva, where he is confused by the future evolution of Jewish law.

Another Talmudic story features Honi HaMe'agel, a 1st-century BCE miracle worker who sees a man planting a carob tree that will take 70 years to bear fruit. Honi falls asleep and awakens 70 years later to find the tree fully grown and its fruit being harvested by the man's grandson [6, 7].

In Islam, the Quran (Koran) tells of the Seven Sleepers, a group of monotheistic (more likely henotheistic) young men who sought refuge in a cave to escape persecution. As they slept, their preferred God preserved them for centuries. When they awake, they discover that the world around them has changed. This narrative, found in the Quranic Surah Al-Kahf, describes divine protection and time suspension [8, 9, 10]. More


Rip Van Winkle (continued)
Actual photo of Rip, 1896 (JJ)
Not asking who these men are or how they know his name, Rip joins them in drinking from the keg he has helped carry and soon becomes so drunk that he falls asleep. He awakens on a sunny morning, back at the spot where he first saw the keg-carrier, and finds that many drastic changes have occurred:
  • His beard is now a foot long and grey,
  • his hunting musket is badly deteriorated, 
  • his dog Wolf is nowhere to be found.
Returning to his village, he discovers it to be larger than he remembers and filled with people in unfamiliar clothing, none of whom recognize him. When asked how he voted in the election that has just been held, he declares himself a loyal subject of King George III, unaware that the American Revolutionary War has taken place in his absence.

Why is this fiction so popular in the US?
He learns that many of his old friends either were killed in that war or have left the village and is disturbed to find a young man who shares his name, mannerisms, and younger appearance.

A young woman states that her father is Rip Van Winkle, who has been missing for 20 years, then an old woman recognizes him as Rip. The young woman and the young Rip are his children, and the former has named her infant son after him as well.

Rip discovers that his wife has been dead for some time but is not saddened by the news. He learns through a village elder that the men he met in the mountains are said to be ghosts of the crew of the Dutch East India Company ship Halve Maen.

His daughter takes him into her home, and he soon resumes his usual idleness (unconcerned by the major political changes during his slumber) and begins telling his story to every stranger who visits the village. The tale is solemnly taken to heart (despite some assuming him to be off his rocker) by the settlers, particularly by the old Dutch inhabitants who say that, whenever thunder is heard, the men in the mountains must be playing ninepins.

Kirk shot from back right; Kimmel (TJDS)



What does Joe Rogan mean? He doubts FBI? - Risking Zionist Jillian Michaels' funding?

Late night ratings before Kimmel's suspension

Maybe shows should not make all the same jokes
“Ratings for the big three 11:30 pm network talk shows [with hosts Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers] have dropped sharply since 2015,” LateNighter reports.

This chart [at right] compares yearly ratings (2010-2025) of CBS’s “The Late Show,” NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Only capitalism should control network TV?
According to the LateNighter analysis: All three shows have lost 70-80% of their audience in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 age range since 2015.

Network late-night talk shows became unprofitable in 2023. Brand advertising expenditures on late-night television in 2024 fell to half the 2018 level.

“In 2015, the typical 11:30 pm talk show brought in well over $200 million in revenue and made a healthy profit.”

“By 2023, the same show was underwater, and by 2025, losses are well into the tens of millions of dollars.”

To make matters worse, cost-cutting efforts by late-night shows haven’t been able to make up for increased costs, such as salaries. And episodes of late-night talk shows don’t age well, so they have virtually no market for rerun syndication. More

Adam and Eve: a myth from Mesopotamia?


Adam and Eve’s origins stolen from Mesopotamia?
So we're Sumerian? - We're human, Woman
(MythVision Podcast) May 27, 2025: Uncover the hidden roots of the Garden of Eden narrative as we journey through ancient Near Eastern myths that shaped humanity's most influential story. In this episode, MythVision explores stunning parallels between Adam and Eve and earlier myths — Adapa’s lost immortality, Enkidu’s transformation from innocent harmony to wisdom, paradise gardens of Dilmun and the Cedar Forest, the rib-born Sumerian goddess Ninti, serpent-god Ningishzida, and ancient Canaanite myths. Discover how Genesis creatively appropriated and adapted these ancient motifs, challenging traditional views of biblical originality and history. #Adam #MythVision #Genesis [Adam is the Adama or Adamu, a generation of human beings, and the Garden of Aidenn is the Garden of Adam, of humankind.]

Thom Hartmann: Weed reverses aging?

If Black don't crack and Asian don't raisin, could THC in cannabis be part of the reason?

Smoke THC, who TCH? (Thom in 2004)
Thom Hartmann or TCH (Thomas Carl Hartmann, born May 7, 1951) is now pro-THC?

Paranormal Buddhists of Tibet (video)


The Mystery of Tibetan Monastics' Paranormal Abilities: Unparalleled Skills and Secrets of Practice
(Mr. Y Talks) May 18, 2023: This video goes deep into the extraordinary paranormal abilities of Tibetan nuns and monks and reveals the secrets of their practice. Some are "living buddhas," which is a misleading translation for bodhisattvas ("being bent on supreme enlightenment, buddhas-to-be"). Westerner Alexandra David-Neel traveled to Tibet in the 1930s and wrote about her experiences in Magic and Mystery in Tibet.


COMMENTARY
Are such things really possible, Wisdom Quarterly? Yes, they are. The basis is samadhi (stillness, superconsciousness, states of emerging from single pointed focus or concentration, which temporarily purifies the mind/heart, leading to a breakthrough in recovering our innate ability as a human species). These powers are known in Buddhism as the abhinnas or iddhis (Sanskrit siddhis). They are well known even outside Buddhism, where they are also warned against. Hinduism and the older Vedic religion is well aware of these miraculous powers and calls those who master samadhi "saints."

These are not saints in Buddhism, which reserves the term for those proficient in calm and insight, who are liberated from the mental hindrances and defilements. The Buddha possessed these powers but was very reluctant to use them, seeing great danger in them. It is hard to attain these powers and they are fickle. They may easily drop away. The Buddha spoke of 11 imperfections in their development to be mindful of if one should wish to exercise them.

But a more telling event about the Buddha's attitude towards them is found in a story in the ancient texts. One day the Buddha and his attendant monk, Ananda, were walking down the road and saw some old yogis who possessed these powers. They were renowned and respected.

The Buddha turned to Ananda and said something to the effect of, "How sad these two."

Ananda replied, "But they are well respected and possess supernormal powers."

"Yeah, but had they developed those powers in this Dharma (herein within the Buddha's Doctrine and Discipline), they would not only have those powers, but they would also be liberated (enlightened and free from suffering and rebirth).

"As it is, although they have spent many years of spiritual effort to develop these trifling 'powers,' they have not worked on the much more important skill of release, of making an end of ignorance, of uprooting the defilements of the heart/mind greed, hatred, and delusion. Now they have these powers, but they will eventually lose them. Having gained nothing else because they were so busy to develop them, if they are not destroyed by these very powers, what will they have? They will have wasted all those years and, what's worse, wasted the opportunity to strive for real liberation (moksha) and actually be free."

Who needs Buddhism? Let's do magic instead

This is a shocking thing to say because within their own tradition, they were regarded as "saints" the way a Catholic nun or monk could live cloistered, fasting, praying, purifying their morality, faith, karma, and concentration and, in doing so, may indeed gain mysterious abilities, magic powers. If anyone sees them displaying such powers, they will be hailed as "holy" and "saved" and "destined for heaven," objects of veneration, respect, and petitionary prayers and prayers to intercede on behalf of the faithful.

But they will not be "saints" in the Buddhist sense. They are not free of the defilements (which have only been suppressed by many and various spiritual practices). They will not have made an end of greed, hatred, and delusion only of obvious and overt signs of them while they are still latent in their psyches (layers of their personality bundles within the Five Aggregates clung to as self). They may even be reborn into a heaven, but as that heaven is not the end all be all it is advertised as being, they will neither be "saved," purified, free, attaining to the deathless, nor anything else of note. It will be as if all those side effects were for not nothing but not anything really worthwhile, admirable, or spiritually desirable like nirvana, awakening, the end of rebirth or, there is a remainder of defilements, rebirth in exalted worlds where they are able to complete the training in very conducive circumstances and be freed from there.

We can meditate to purify the mind then practice for insight to be free?

Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism is very esoteric, partly because it is mixed with the more ancient indigenous Himalayan shamanic practice of Bon and partly because it is a Mahayana school, which itself is very much mixed with Hindu, Vedic, yogic, and Brahmanical ideas. These are ideas and assumptions the historical Buddha rejected and went to great pains to point out for disciples to avoid.

Poem: In death we do NOT die

Clare Harner (not Mary Elizabeth Frye), "Immortality"; PJ, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Funny vintage picture, retro historic photo, humorous gift, wall mount art decor
Get a load of this, Kevin. Have they made a "You are my Hart" shirt? - Don't get cocky, Rock.
.
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep —
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry —
I am not there,
I did not die.

Women are scandalous, aren't they? I love your girlfriend's tee-shirt, Man.

What happens when we die in the future?

What we'll see when we die
Welcome to Life: The Singularity is ruined by lawyers. If this sobering piece of humor appeals, one may also enjoy the two novels that provided the inspiration for it, Jim Munroe's Everyone in Silico, which contains the idea of a corporate-sponsored afterlife, and Rudy Rucker's trippy Postsingular, which introduces the horrifying idea of consciousness slums.

Emerald Tablets, Hermes, Egyptian Pyramids

The Emerald Tablets and the Great Pyramid of Egypt
Greek "god" (deva) Hermes
Like the lost "Hall of Records," the "Emerald Tablets of Thoth" are one of the great enigmas of Ancient Egypt. Scholars consider them to be a legend concerning the gods (devas) revealing mysteries involving the ancient societies that survived the "Great Flood." They are said to be cryptic, containing the secrets of alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone, and they are the foundation of the Hermetic (Hermes Trismegistus) tradition. The tablets were translated into Arabic between the 6th and 9th centuries then to Latin around 1200 ACE and then into the European languages. What many do not know is that they mention the Great Pyramid of Egypt, which they claim was build by the "God of Wisdom," Thoth, in Pre-Flood (antediluvian) times. How do the Emerald Tablets relate to the pyramids of Egypt?
