SCIENCE FICTION AUTHOR ARTHUR C CLARKE WEIGHS IN ON "TIME"

In my upcoming book Past Life Journeying, I write about Bruce Goldberg, a hypnotherapist whose presentation at a UFO conference I attended in 2020 opened the Time door for me. This opened my mind to the possibility that, as Goldberg explains in his book, Past Lives, Future Lives Revealed

“...because all time is simultaneous, the cause of a present-day problem could very well rest in a  future lifetime.”

Imagine my surprise when I was inspired to read Arthur C Clarke's Childhood’s End.  Clarke. who worked with Stanley Kubrick on the classic film 2001, wrote this in 1953 (!):

“'You already had proof that time is more complex than your science ever imagined. For that memory was not of the past, but of the future…It was as if a distorted echo had reverberated round the closed circle of time, from the future to the past. Call it not a memory, but a premonition.'

The idea was hard to grasp, and for a moment Jan wrestled with it in silence. Yet he should have been prepared; he had already received proof enough that cause and event could reverse their normal sequence."

My Past (and now Future) Life Journeys are providing me with “proof” about the complexity of Time. I'm beginning to appreciate writer Jacques Vallee’s opinion that rather than better science, maybe we need better science fiction.
