time and timelessness

Well, as a human with only physical sensors, it is impossible to observe time and the way time works... i mean... everyone has ever played with the idea about going back in time...maybe to right a wrong or change things for the better... but what does tanscending time really feel like?? i am not talking about relativity and travelling past the speed of light to go back in time... but rather to be able to travel in time in the same way we move in our 3D space... heres my take on time transcendence...

ever watched ground hog day?? where that day just keeps repeating itself endlessly (until the show ended) ... well, i feel that being able to tavel in time will be kinda like that... only that instead of the day repeating itself... all the different repeated days will happen all at once since time is no longer a constrain... you can now choose to be anywhere at anytime... or more likely... you can be everywhere at every point of time... omnipresence can be achieved if we have the ability to transcend time... haha... the only problem is transcending time itself...

then i wonder, if we could transend time, how will our choice, decision and free-will be affected??... i mean now that we can travel to and see the future... isnt it weird that any decision i make will change the future that i already foresaw and will see again?? the same goes for the past... i can also travel back to change the past... hence, the next logical train of thought will den be... how then do our choice and free-will change the things/events around us?? i think it is logical to conclude that, as a time traveller/transcender, choice not just affects and change the future or the past... but changes both future and history, i.e. the whole timeline of events... any choice i make could/will change every event from the beginning to the end of time... afterall, future and past no longer have any meaning to me... right??... now suppose if there were more than one time traveller and each one has their own free-will and choices... how den will the events of this universe be decided?? since our universe can only have one timeline of events... the outcome has to be the result of everyones choices... free-will/choice no longer just affect past and future but every other person's free-will as well... and it is this interaction of all these free-will/choices that will result in this one timeline of events... which means that this timeline is more or less fixed... giving rise to the possiblilty of prohesy and destiny... meaning that free-will and prohesy/destiny do and must co-exist... kinda like in the matrix movie where the oracle offered neo a sweet... sparking a conversation about whether or not neo really has a choice/free-will to take or reject the sweet, since the oracle already knew the future and neo's decision about the sweet... the conversation ended with the explanation that our decisions in life have been made long before we encounter the options... and by making a decision, we are merely playing out what our free-will had already chosen long ago... in other words, if we go back in time and presented ourselves with the same situation and options... we would have made the exact same decisions all over again... haha... yup yup...

well... all the talk above accounts for nothing since we obviously cannot transcend time... however, if you, like me, believe that we have a soul/spirit which dictates our free-will and conscience... and that our soul/spirit is not constrained by time nor space i.e. eternal... then the above holds true... i believe that we have the afterlife simply because our spirit/soul is not contrained by time like our physical body... and since our soul encompasses our free-will... i think we should see free-will as timeless... as having an effect on both the past and future... and not see it as just the day to day decision-making... yeah...

anyway... back down to earth... as u know... i have been drawing stuff to pass the time... and so far... i already have 20 plus pieces and have decided to compiled them... and have decided to call this compilation... simply1305...yay...

i am likely to host it on blogger... but would like to host it somewhere else since it will not be a blog... yeah... any ideas anyone??
