time is all & everything       everything is part of time & time is part of everything       we think of time as a linear event moving thus:

                                                                        if our life span is A to C then there are those whose life spans are A to B or A to Z as well as those for whom it is simply A or simply Z       if our A is another man woman or thing's A to Z & another's A to C then we are another man or woman or thing's A       thus we could conceive of a series of parallel linear events

                                                      each representing a different life a different sense or passage of time       but time doesn't travel in parallel lines       time is part of everything & thus its motion is in all directions simultaneously

given:   three time spans beginning at the same point in time (say january 1, 1967)

problem:   set up three points of intersection
solution:

problem:

given that E is the year 1975 what are the dates of intersection in the solution to the previous problem

if E = 1975 then 1 year = 1/2 inch since A to E is 4 inches long       therefore since both F & R also begin at 1967 by measuring the length of F-G & R-Z we discover the value of G to be the year 1978 & Z to be the year 1968

therefore by measuring the point at which on each line the intersections occur we can arrive at the dates of intersection

intersection point 1:	january 1969 on line F-G on line A-E may 15 1969
intersection point 2:	november 15 1970 on line A-E april 1 1967 on line R-Z
intersection point 3:	august 15 1970 on line F-G october 1 1967 on line R-Z

thus on october 1 1967 R-Z actually travelled forward to august 15 1970 intersecting with F-G       at the same time F-G of course travelled into the past to october 1967       similarly on april 1 1967 R-Z travelled forward to november 15 1970 at the same time that A-E travelled back to april 1 1967 & so on       thus we can see that time travel is already taking place all the time all around us & that since the number of linear events & hence the number of intersections is infinite all of us are always travelling back & forth in time       the self that occupies occupied will occupy each particle of your life line is travelling in time simultaneously       this has the effect of cancelling out awareness of time travel       the real problem here then in the creation of a time machine is of making oneself aware that one is already travelling in time       it is a problem with the preceptual* system       the question becomes if we are travelling in time why aren't we aware of it       it is perhaps over obvious to state that a sense of self is equated with a sense of oneness & that to be aware at any given moment of one's self travelling in time is to be aware of all one's selves travelling in time & thus one's sense of oneness is threatened by the perception of a multiplicity of selves all at different ages etc.       travelling simultaneously in time       since that sense of oneness is therefore threatened with annihilation with complete disintegration upon the acknowledgement if this perception is not acknowledged since it is also true that if the number of points of intersection is infinite then on one of the jumps forwards or backwards one will visit a time before or after one lived then to acknowledge the perception of time travelling would mean to be aware of selves gradually disintegrating in the absence of a state of being       needless to say such a perception would be too traumatic for one's sense of oneness       these then are the factors that stand in the way of our conscious acknowledged use of the already existing time machine (consciousness would mean the chance to choose which point you intersected with & for how long) & explain why it hasn't been discovered earlier       it now remains for someone to find the key which will unlock it
