I tend to think of time like a rubber band. You can stretch it out so it it moves slower around you. However there is a rebound effect, and it will restore it's own equilibrium. For example you procrastinate and have a paper due in a few hours. At normal speed this would take 6 hours to complete but you only have 3 hours left to deadline. Altered perception and state of mind has time around you slowing to the point you complete the paper in the 3 hours with a few minutes to spare. Yet you did not write any faster than normal.
For the rebound effect later in the week you suddenly experience experience 6 hours go by as if only 3 hours were actually experienced. In the inverse you may feel like you are watching water boil and time has slow to a crawl.
Now we can simply state and toss this as relative to a personal perception of time. However I tend to lean toward consciousness would be a major piece of what we perceive as time. Information by itself is nothing, sort of like a hard drive with nothing to process what is on it. It needs a field and something retrieve and process the information contained within it.
The universe is and everything in it is an interaction of light. Our now moment is the conscious boundary we set in this field. We only experience the consensus reality we have accepted as our own reality. We hear a song on the radio which was just release and yet we heard it before. We know the words and the harmony. Consider it the noosphere with enough weight behind a consensus to bubble it up into our current reality.
An aspect of this is projection from a holographic fractal or a 2D Fourier transform. What is being intersected into the 2D plane to give rise to the 3d experience? I would propose consciousness. Time becomes the difference between 2 intersections from the same set of points on the field, equated to the momentum and distance traveled in the resulting angle creating the 3D projection being perceived.
The now moment is a back propagation from the boundary set (ripples in the pond coming back to their point of origin) . Like sonar to determine what is out there. We receive a lot of information back and then decipher this into an agreed upon reality. It is blank slate until we add a tag to identify the incoming signal. Consensus is where we agree with others on what this tag should be and it becomes knowledge. We can then recognize it should the same or similar signal re-occur. Similar would expand this knowledge into an inclusion or exclusion zone for the given tag.
Time Travel... What happens if we skip the stone across the pond, or shift the boundary points being intersected? Does our reality change (Mandela Effect?) Is it a skip/shift in our reality, if so would we consider this a shift in timelines or some parallel reality?
What if you could and probably do experience multiple of these sub-realities choosing between them on a daily basis? Perhaps attractors shift us to stronger realities based upon the decisions we make.
Well I don't agree that there is a time rebound effect so much as a perception of changing wave velocities and angles, though there is a peak and trough for all waves so it could be interpreted as a time rebound in that way, but there are also waves of different oscillations of many different types of field generators, our brain waves switch around generally speaking every few hours, our heart, the sun and other planets and the interactions of all these fields clearly cause shifts. Except that linear time even as broken as it is from our 5th dimensional state of being is still only the perception of change as perceived by the measure of the peaks. It doesn't flow backwards in itself, it only changes its angles really which accelerate and decelerate perception itself.
Though in saying that magnetically coded information does travel in both directions via the birkland currents, but it's not forwards or backwards, again it's forwards and forwards between two points in an infinite stream of toroidial loops subject to interference and interactions with other waves.
I do think though that back propagation or at least the illusion of it may be a factor of perception itself between the physical and non physical layers of consciousness as a consequence of a contaminated electrical and magnetic circuits in the body and so creating a retrograde effect where something can appear to slow down or even go backwards. So in that you would be right to say there appears to be a negative propagation between the brains perception and the creation of reality, the higher the percentage of light contamination in the subject's field the higher the frequency difference there is the more backwards moving the field appears to look.
The sonar concept is interesting and obviously there is an exchange here that needs examination, at least for me, in terms of how I can choose to see two timeline progressions playing out and then choose between them. I pretty much ignored this part of the mechanics of the law of attraction when I was studying it because I only cared about the results at the time. My initial thought is that it has something to do with the birkland currents between the self and higherself as exchanged via the solar pipe to the chakras.
I would only agree loosely to it being a blank slate though because that truth dramatically changes based on the density of the observer doing the cocreation. Our egoic forms and travels through any physical timeline have an identical foundational set of torroidial equations and you can't have a blank slate if you have a foundation too. Obviously however from the 4th, 5th or 6th density we can choose the difficult path of destroying those foundations reducing our toroids to a much simpler and cleaner reflection of source itself. But then at the 8th-11th density you question whether or not source itself is just another foundation of equation in itself...lmao
I am being a little pedantic perhaps as I think you do have a valid point but maybe not the correct word choice.
The attractors as you term them are chosen subliminally per planck second per living cell, but where do you draw the line between choosing attractors and the visual appearance of mandela effects. It is the same process of standing wave interactions and as I was explaining I think on page 2, the rapidity of their appearance is based on the density level of the observer. When you no longer need the 3d illusion of cause and effect, magnetically speaking, you no longer need to wait for the waves, you can as you put it simply skip ahead like the stone on a lake.
So, is the mandela effect simply a negative terminology the programmers use to in an attempt to reprogram the previous state of victimhood to the matrix state?? The processes of the mandela and quantum tunneling are identical, one exists in the matrix the other you see as you begin to step out of the matrix. Both are accelerations of standing wave progression simultaneously linearly and laterally to the native linear only perception.
Do we call it mandela only because it is so accelerated laterally and becomes noticeable only because it is unexpected, and call it the law of attraction when the perception of it is purposefully ignored until it's expected appearance?
To answer your query on that there is no linear to begin with, only the illusion of it from the 3d matrix density, in reality in the mechanics there are only two choices per planck, expansion or contraction. So the direction of movement as equated to visual markers only appears linear in two cases, absolute 100% expansion ALWAYS, or absolute 100% contraction always. Everything else is diagonal and would appear more fractal from a zoomed out perspective of the hologram itself with each component cell having it's own choice pushing the totality of the individuation in a lean in one or the other direction. The term spiraling down is more appropriate when the totality is leaning towards contraction but there is enough effort towards expansion that it doesn't become negatively pure linear. So, thusly, it comes down a choice of words relative to the context the conversation. I personally use the timeline word choice when discussing things in the nature of high probability where there is generally a same angle of, or same percentage of incline or descending line, and I would use shift or parallel more in the context of slightly higher density levels jumping across from one to another of expected potential results. (usually in the direction of expansion).
