The Antikythera Mechanism has been in the news lately as 21st century technology has been used to create a replica that gives insight into its design and its abilities. From an excellent article on art.net.com:
Discovered in 1901 off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera, the mechanism was actually an astrological clock that would have shown the movement of the five known planets and predicted astronomical events such as the phases of the moon and lunar and solar eclipses—but with the earth placed at the center of the universe.
A COMPUTER GENERATED RENDERING OF THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM
This is what was found off the Greek island of Antikethera in 1901. As described on the always awesome Daily Grail website:
“…we can only stand in awe of the talents of whomever originally conceived of, and built, the Antikythera Mechanism in ancient times.*” The complexity of this mechanism has expanded our appreciation of how advanced Greek civilization was when this would have been in use over 2,000 years ago. BUT…
The Antikythera Mechanism, for all its sophistication was based on the belief at that time that the “Earth was placed at the center of the universe.” No one is re-writing our understanding of the cosmos based on thais mechanism (not yet, anyway.) That is why I remind researchers and practitioners of past lives to be aware of the context of the wisdom of the giants on whom shoulders we stand. The Awareness Techniques, which inspired me on this path, was published over 50 years ago, in 1970. Brian Weiss first published his work in 1988, and Michael Newton in 1994, and dear Dolores Cannon started publishing in the mid-1980’s. All of this information is at least 25 years old; in Cannon’s case, readers can see her evolution over time and 19 books. Like this mysterious ancient technology, we have inherited these amazing spiritual technologies, but I feel compelled to ask this question:
What is the Past Life Exploration field’s version of the Antikythera Mechanism, seeming to be advanced for its time but limited by the beliefs of the mid-to late 20th century?
The recent expansion of my explorations to include Future Lives, which I am introducing as TimeLine Journeying, was one such evolution. My own experiences, both with clients and in my own personal work, pushed me beyond the construct of only considering past lives and even linear time. And while it was an uncomfortable leap forward, TimeLine Journeying is proving to open new realms of discovery. My goal was always to ask, “What is the next step forward for Past Life Exploration?” Asking that question has guided me through the Time door and suggests:
-opening ourselves to non-linear time,
-to the possibility that the origin of our issues and even talents could be in a Future incarnation;
-and into a fascinating exploration of the concept of simultaneous Time.
More about Time on my Temporal Component blog here on the website, and more to come in these pages.
