Hello Me_Too,
I haven't found the notion of the "time lateral" particularly helpful on my own journey.
Whether a time lateral exists or not doesn't seem to change or affect the basic requirements of self-knowing and self-accepting, of practicing the presence of the one Creator, of seeking to serve others, and of opening the heart to unconditional love.
My feeling is that it is an idea that can be discarded without detriment to the seeker's path. *Plenty* to be concerned about here on Earth without attempting to tackle the bizarre, alleged metaphysical happenings outside of our conscious awareness that seem to have little to no impact on the choices we make here and now.
Which isn't to imply that it's not a subject worth exploring if you feel called to do so - perhaps it has meaning for you and application to your own path.
