Re: Time Travel and myself
Ok, do not highlight a word, and hit control i in this window or it dumps everything you just typed. Let me start again, although maybe it's a sign to keep my mouth shut.

I wanted to share a personal experience to help explain my last post to starlord.
I was about 2 years old. Yes, that is early for memories, but I have earlier memories than this. I was out in the backyard. My grandmother asked if I wanted to take a walk with her and my nephew. I said, "no." A few minutes later I saw them walking across the road in front of the house. I changed my mind, I wanted to go. I ran through the house, and banged through the screen door. My mother, in the house, yelled and came after me. I ran across the lawn and saw a car coming out of the corner of my eye. I hit the curb full speed ahead, closed my eyes and 'leaped'. I opened my eyes and I was on the other side of the road and my grandmother and nephew were walking up to me. The car had stopped, and my mother was at the curb. I DID NOT GET HIT BY THE CAR. I DID NOT RUN ACROSS THE ROAD. I was too young to remember the conversation between the adults, but no one would acknowledge what happened. I was very disappointed, because that was a hell of a leap. I tried many times after that to repeat it, but couldn't. I always believed I couldn't because after it happened I felt that it was wrong, or impossible, or would not be acknowledged by adults, and when you're that young, that is why you do everything or nothing. I remember the way it felt when it happened, I just did it. I closed my eyes and willed myself to the other side of the street. By the way, the walk was cancelled and I didn't get to go.

Another very early experience was seeing my mother find a robin the cat had killed. She wrapped it up and put it in the trash can and told me to stay away from it. I waited until I could sneak it out of the trash, and put it on the lawn. I wanted to bring it back to life. I closed my eyes and tried to will it alive. It stayed dead. I remember thinking the reason I couldn't do it was one of 2: it had been dead too long and was too injured, or I had a shadow of a doubt in my mind, and if I could just really believe I could do it, I could do it. But I couldn't get that certain feeling, so it didn't work.
Maybe how the time travel machines really work is they activate certain brain waves that override the doubt. After all, if you believe the machine is going to take you there, how do you know it is not the power of belief as much anything else? Or the brain waveschange when you have absolute belief, and machine can alter you brain waves...
So the point was, try to find that certain gut belief in something. Sometimes it acts as intuition, but is it more? Let me just say, "let the force be with you!"
