you're saying that to come apart and dissipate in s/t is to come together in t/s?

Yes, but probably not the way you mean that. As things move closer together in 3-space, they move farther apart in 3-time. What's really weird, is that the atoms that make up everything around us, must necessarily be separated in 3-time, since they are obviously in close proximity in 3-space. But how can that be? They are also obviously gathered together in time right here, right now! This is the significance of time being scalar in s/t. The atoms are spread out in 3-time, but their locations map onto a single scalar time as per the pencil exercise earlier.

Your statement is accurate, but misleading in that when things "come apart and dissipate in s/t" they still stay in fairly close proximity to each other (Earth is very, very small compared to the vastness of space). So, it would be more accurate to say that "to come apart and dissipate in s/t is to move closer together in t/s?".

You really are saying that a particle is in one place here and another in t/s? Or perhaps I'm still thinking of t/s as another parallel s/t instead of something with an altogether different structure...

In reality each particle is located at a single "place" in 6-dimensional space-time. Unfortunately though, space and time share no common reference frame except through motion. So we are only able to perceive this location on one of two equal and opposite stages (i.e., s/t and t/s), in which the three dimensions of one reference frame exist, and that of the other are compressed into a scalar. One can locate every particle on each of the two "stages", but their "locations" on one stage has no bearing on its location of the other.

Now add in the fact that every particle also has an associated antiparticle also located somewhere in 6-D s-t, and mapped to two different locations in s/t and t/s and you've pretty much got the whole picture.

For a change, I thought it would be interesting to see some of Ra's quotes about t/s and s/t (taken from the Law of One Study Guide V2). I have added some comments in bold italic, and I've underlined some comments by the author of the Study Guide.

RA: In space/time the spatial orientation of material causes a tangible framework for illusion. In time/space the inequity is upon the shoulders of what you call time. This property renders entities and experiences intangible in a relative sense.

In your framework (note: this is confusing, because we consider our framework to be s/t, not t/s, but he is clearly referring to t/s) each particle or core vibration moves at a velocity which approaches what you call the speed of light from the direction of superlumimal velocities (i.e., approaches the speed of light from faster than the speed of light) . In these metaphysical planes there is a great deal of what you call time which is used to review and re-review the learn/teachings of a prior, as you would call it, space/time incarnation. The extreme fluidity of these regions makes it possible for much to be penetrated which must needs be absorbed before the process of healing of an entity may be accomplished. Each entity is located in a somewhat immobile state much as you are located in space/time in a somewhat immobile state in time (ie, it's not that time is immobile but that the flow of time is unchangeable and lacking in mobility). Depending upon this time/space locus there will be certain helpers which assist in this healing process. The process involves seeing in full the experience, seeing it against the backdrop of the mind/body/spirit complex total experience, forgiving the self of all mis-steps as regards the missed guideposts during the incarnation and, finally, the careful assessment of the next necessities for learning. This is done entirely by the Higher Self until an entity has become conscious in space/time of the process and means of spiritual evolution at which time the entity will consciously take part in all decisions. (B3,157)

From this description, you get some appreciation for what it means to be placed in t/s. First, note that cosmic matter, that coalesces in t/s, was formed by motion that deviated from unity by accelerating beyond the speed of light (i.e., unit velocity per RST) in one or more dimensions of scalar motion. Similarly, ordinary matter, that coalesces in s/t, was formed by motion that deviated from unit velocity by slowing down in one or more dimensions of scalar motion. I plan to cover this in more detail in a future post.

Consider now the life review in t/s. Space is relatively fixed, but you have a lot of flexibility to examine the action from a variety of points of view in time. Thus, one is afforded the opportunity to examine every aspect of the life and see exactly what was done, what was not done, what catalysts were efficiently used, and which were only partially used, or missed entirely. Once all the necessary "time" is used evaluating a particular "space" in the previous life, it moves forward to the next "space", where things are examined anew.

RA: In space/time it is not possible to determine the course of events beyond the incarnation but only to correct present imbalances. In time/space, on the other hand, it is not possible to correct any unbalanced actions but rather to perceive the imbalances and thusly forgive the self for that which is. The advantage of time/space is that of the fluidity of the overview. The advantage of space/time is that, working in a darkness with a tiny candle, one may correct the imbalances. (B3,158)

I love this quote. I've dwelt many times on the choice of the word "fluidity". I think this is a significant choice of words on Ra's part, for with our scalar view of time, we do not experience it as fluid, it is choppy, our minds are forced to skip from subject to subject, moment to moment in a seemingly stepwise matter. Our space, though, is fluid and flowing. We easily visualize how the world spreads continuously from our visual point of origin. In t/s, time is fluid and space seems to tick along. Note also that when viewing things in t/s we are also viewing them in the context of all previous actions and past lives that led up to our current biases, blindnesses and predilections. Thus, our distilled experiences and imbalances are readily visible in a time-fluid framework.

RA: Time/space is no more homogeneous than space/time. It is as complex and complete a system of illusions, dances and patterns as is space/time and has as structured a system of what you may call natural laws. (B3,152)

Hence this thread, to help us understand the t/s system, thus hopefully allowing us to more effectively achieve our purposes for incarnation.

DON: The Higher Self is reluctant to enter the negative time/space because then it has to incarnate in negative space/time. Can you explain this? (B3,151)

RA: In time/space, which is precisely as much of your self as is space/time, all times are simultaneous just as, in your geography, your cities and villages are all functioning, bustling and alive with entities going about their business all at once.

So it is in time/space with the self. Each time/space is an analog of a particular sort or vibration of space/time. When a negative time/space is entered by an entity the next experience will be that of the appropriate space/time (ie, a negative space/time). This is done by the form-making body of a mind/body/spirit complex which places the entity in the proper time/space for incarnation. (B3,151)

So we all have t/s equivalent bodies that exist at the appropriate "locations" in t/s. Here, I think it may actually be easier to perceive of negative t/s, than negative s/t. Ever since reading LOO, I've wondered what it might mean if one accidentally stumbled into negative s/t. I suppose that this is not possible, though since one apparently moves into negative s/t only from negative t/s. Does this mean then, that all 3D existence is in neutral space/time, and between incarnations, we move to neutral time/space? It doesn't seem correct that the area of the choice should be done in either positive or negative space/time. This too, is an area for further discussion (Note: I've started a new thread on this topic on the "Strictly Law of One" forum.)

Just as interestingly though, this seems to imply that some of the "bodies" that make up the mind/body/spirit complex seem to be outside of s/t and t/s altogether. How else could the indigo, form making body "place the entity in the proper t/s for reincarnation".

Enough for now, sorry for the long post. There's a lot to chew on here. What do you think?
