Some Wanderings through the Hourglass Universe
[thoughts from ~burning woman~ by Sha'Tara]
I had some rather tense dreams last night, none of which, in retrospect, relate to what I woke up with—at least not that I can correlate. Be that as it may (love that phrase!) I see this hourglass, with the typical fine gray sand in it, much of it already at the bottom, with the usual trickle going through that middle orifice. I can see each grain of sand, however many there be—we can be certain the number is finite—representing an entity in the universe. Each one must, at some point, pass through the "eye of the needle" without accidentally blocking it and choking in it.
What does that bring to mind? First, and obvious, is the requirement that all the "grains of sand" must be identical. Second, this has to be a controlled environment, a sealed system so no undesirable reactions may take place. If moisture got in, for example, some grains could stick together and block the "now" passage between "past" and "future," creating a dangerous bottleneck. Can't have that, can we, because that would create an abnormal situation. Any controlled environment must be protected against abnormal conditions.
So this universe, according to astronomers now in its 13th + Gyr or gigayear1, seems to be winding down. "Soon" as cosmological time goes that is, all the grains of sand will have passed the "now" point and all will be at the bottom of the glass, in a state of maximum entropy. That's where it gets really interesting because according to my "dreams" this isn't the end but another beginning. Imagine a hand reaching out from what would be truly outer space, grasping the universal hourglass and flipping it! What happens now? The grains of sand begin to trickle through the "now" point once more.
Will it be the same all over again? From the greater picture, assuming a completely closed system, yes, it will all repeat. But wait: what is the same for the giant hand is not at all the same for each individual grain of sand. In the process of slipping through the orifice the grains got mixed up with strangers at the bottom, and in the process of being flipped over within the glass, again they got shifted away from what they thought was their secure and certain place into another strange place. Keep in mind this is a universal-sized hourglass. Pretty big place, if you're just a galaxy, pretty weird place if all you are is a micro-dot Earthian who used to live on a known planet called Earth. Big Bang... Red Shift... Divine Creation... can't really matter that much when you are so busy delineating your place in this "new" cosmos, can it!
Ok, that's the cosmic view. How about the personal approach. You know, worlds within worlds within worlds. What if the universal hourglass shapes how it all works? What if each world also has its personal hourglass? Each individual? We birth in the top, carrying more and more grains (complexity of form) each time, sliding down that slippery slope and into the bottom of our particular glass. A lesser great hand reaches out each time the cycle is complete and flips us back up again... This is a different "time line" now, as the earth is a mere 3.8 Gyr2. Now bring that down to a mere 70 years being the lifespan of an average Earthian. That's a lot of flipping, even for re-incarnationists!
I realize this isn't as easy to visualize as an entire universe going through its complete hourglass cycle but if you remember what I wrote some time ago about complex beings called "partials" with minds, or parts of minds blending with each other to achieve new levels of understanding, to gain new experiences or develop new physical/biological constructs we call bodies, then it becomes easier to "see" the process. We are not alone, not even in our own minds. "Me" is a very subjective entity in a fluid, changing environment where "time" is neither linear nor even necessary! From being a complete "me" in the bottom of the hourglass, I can become a whole new "me" on the top side (subjective future), with some parts of "me" still active in the bottom *universal* level(subjective past). It is my intent to create havoc with any annihilation/heaven/hell belief system here because such are not worthy of any evolving ISSA consciousness.
We must develop the ability to conceive of "places" that require no time, or even space, for these are mere conveniences established as starting points, launching pads, or control centers by the Time Lords and they are our greatest stumbling blocks today. They are the shoals upon which our ships of non- space/time come crashing ever and anon.
The Golden Path – the non-worlds – the breaking out of the hourglass universe – engineering a venturi where the throat of the hourglass is now creating a vortex powerful enough to crack the glass, opening this closed system to the cosmos. Wow! To be able to not only glimpse a world now totally alien and frightening, but to enter that world and learn to function in it without being absorbed and destroyed by it! It would be like walking along the viewing windows of an aquarium and suddenly the walls disappear and you're in there, with whatever is in there... to realize you can breathe in the water and you can swim fast enough to avoid hungry predators, relearning, relearning, relearning—realizing you've been here before and it's more your home than was the relatively safe walk along the viewing window.
I write of a closed environment. You will say, well then, how can creatures in a completely closed environment change their essential nature? Where would the energy required to engineer a break-through come from? Lots of obvious, common-sense questions arise. To which there are equally obvious, common sense answers, perhaps not the last word, but answers. What is this closed environment made of? Do we know all of its potential? Even on earth, even today, there are millions of people who believe that it is possible to develop power systems that do not pollute; that do not use up non-renewable resources; that do not damage the natural environment. Can this belief make it so? I do not think so, but I think that we can, we will, come close to it, close enough to break free of the controlling and destructive powers we now must be subservient to; we now must serve and pay in whatever way. The energy is there, hidden from us and useless to the Controllers. But no matter where we go as "physical" beings (or as beings who think from some kind of physical awareness) we will always create entropy. If we allow ourselves to develop empathy and we improve upon our proto-human sense of compassion and our modicum sense of basic social decency, that we will move fast enough to avoid leaving overly huge garbage heaps (pools of entropy) behind. They will grow smaller and new life forms (some our own progeny) will develop to take advantage of our weakness.
Then there's the Golden Path. It begins here, in the hourglass, its purpose, to equip the "gold member" to break free. It's personal empowerment; such empowerment coming from a reversal of current energy trends. Currently Earthians are the food supply for their gods, their Time Lords, their planetary landlords, their rulers, their Illuminati, their bosses, call them whatever you want. We manufacture, from our emotions and at the cost of our lives, the nectar that our gods feed upon. The Golden Path teaches and empowers an individual to reverse this process. The Avatars develop within themselves a system that can take from the masters and give back to the "poor" among them until the "poor" (in energy) finally learn how to do it themselves. In this process, the closed system begins to resemble a Swiss cheese. What was trapped begins to escape.
The Golden Path has one more warning at this point: cheese attracts mice and the rulers have trained mice guarding the holes in the cheese. While these trained mice are permitted to eat of the cheese, their job is to nab whatever is escaping through those tunnels... and they can do whatever they want with their captives. Food for thought, Alice.

1 The age of the Universe can also be estimated from a cosmological model based on the Hubble constant and the densities of matter and dark energy. This model-based age is currently 13.7 +/- 0.2 Gyr. But this Web page will only deal with actual age measurements, not estimates from cosmological models. The actual age measurements are consistent with the model-based age which increases our confidence in the Big Bang model. (Robert L. Wright, UCLA)
2 When applied to rocks on the surface of the Earth, the oldest rocks are about 3.8 billion years old. When applied to meteorites, the oldest are 4.56 billion years old. This very well determined age is the age of the Solar System. See the talk.origins age of the Earth FAQ for more on the age of the solar system. (Ibid. Age of the Elements – Para.2)
There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace—those qualities you find always in that which the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet, it is possible to see peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains its own fixity. In such perfection, all things move toward death. (Dune – Frank Herbert)
