Let me start with the definition of time. Scientifically there are two schools of thought. One as defined by sir Isaac newton, time is a dimension which gives us indication of past, present and future. The other school of thought as proposed by Gottfried Leibniz is part of the universal structure that can neighter be defined nor measured, it's a state in which different events occur.
Everything in this universes is in vibration, leading to movement either linear in space ( planets and the whole solar system, including black holes and what not) to electrons spinning around their own access ( all quantum particles). From my previous blog, it's apparent that this motion experienced by all matter in this universe is due to its being part of an hourglass shaped universe represented by a sound wave. Since there is a flow, it gives rise to the notion of time as seen or experienced by an observer stationary in space. The reader should refer to Einstein's special relativity papers to get the complete picture of time as defined by science.
Now let s take us humans and all living beings in this universe, i.e matter with consciousness enough to have an ego component. This includes the kingdom of plants as well, although the ego component is absent. Let me rephrase this as "subset of all that breathes and have a metabolism". The interesting additional experience for these subjects is the "aging" process coupled with the experience of physical movement. What is this aging? is it a reaction to time or is it time itself?.
Science has understood that the biological cells are programmed to die after a certain number of replications. That is a very interesting discovery. Why is there this programming? Why can't we emerge in a certain form, exist in that form for 80 odd years and just die, without experiencing the process of birth, growth, adulthood, and old age? So I understand that time is somehow interlinked with our physical body although its scientifically not measurable. Time can only be experienced, somehow I can't capture it in a jar and conduct experiments. So can this be altered? Can I manipulate time and trick the system into believing that its younger than it actually is? The answer is YES. Time is relative, and can be tricked. There are advanced yoga techniques wherein the physical can be made to stop at a specific state or age. Remember it's only a cell programming that causes it to die after n replications. It can be altered.
Forget yoga techniques, it's hard and only a few have the capacity go through that vigorous path. There are other subtle things that one can do. Breath control. Our body does not know the concept of time, it uses the breath we take to keep track. The interval between two successive breaths, is the counter for our system just as the way we track distance/ speed on moving particles. So if I give longer gaps between breaths, the longer I would actually live as the cell will live for a longer duration before they replicate. This is the reason why tortoises live a very long life.
It is a fact that athletes age faster, they breath harder and faster for not of their youth, by the time they hit their 40's they have already lived the life equivalent of 50 years biologically. Now this is what I meant by actual death time being different from astrological death time in one of my earlier blogs.
Time flows horizontally, it cannot be experienced vertically. What does this mean? Well, matter is bound by universal physical laws, laws that have exit clauses, mind and the heart dimensions are not bound by universal physical laws. A person who is in the heart dimension will not experience time. When your in love with someone the first thing that happens is, your in a timeless state. You do not experience time. This is because of the reality of time. It does not exist. In a hourglass that does not have a beginning nor an end, but flows to itself ( think of the sign of infinity) there can be no beginning nor end. There is no starting point to time, there can be no negative time, nor positive time.
For this very reason if time travel is possible, and we manage to travel back in time, it will not make us younger or older, as our body has already gone through the n cell replications. Say your 20 years old today, and you travel to the future, your physical body will remain at 20 years. You go to the past, it will still be at 20 years. Unless somehow we reverse the breaths we have taken, it's not possible to alter one's age.
Free will versus destiny, now we think we are more bound by Destiny than the former, but think about this. The rate at which we breathe, is actually free will. You have the option to lead a healthy life, by selecting the right set of choices which reflect a healthy lifestyle. Forget birth defects as they are absolute destiny events where the subject is not presented with any choice. So in a way our lifespan is actually governed by a pretty good percentage of free will.
So what is Vedic astrology to do with all this? Well, for starters, it acts as a connection to all events undergone by the subject. Its a plan which contains events that have happened, and events that are to happen. The plan is just a proposal. The plan can be altered by free will.
