The Vancouver bridge cannot be proved past or future as Progster stated.
But, as some have found their memories of another life
were proven to be in the past when there was enough information to track down the place, the people, and thus the time. When people who knew the story could verify it true.
There have been documented accounts of this.
Of course in keeping an open mind, some may say these
were just fabricated stories or the inherited trauma memory from someone else's time as Sabrina posted the science of that investigation.
No one can know the truth except their own and what they may prove. Others may not believe, but, you know your own truth.
Just as I know my own truths.
But, then do we really know what our consciousness is?
Is it the Universe, The One, The God Creator experiencing itself through the consciousness of the many (We) that seems seperate, but, is actually all a part of the One?
Yes, you know I get deep on this subject and love to read other's experiences and beliefs on What IS Eternity?
That is the title of one of my poems.
As for knowing for self consciousness of past, future and even current events that you can't physically know, there are ways to seperate them if you are lucky enough to find the proof of the pudding so to speak.
Briefly three examples:
1. Memories of what you think was before this incarnation. Finding people who know or was in that past experience to confirm it for you.
2. Visions or dreams of future events:
When they happen. If you are around to see them.
3. Present events you may know through dreams, thoughts, visions:
The news of said event reaches you that it was happening at that time.
(and yes, I have experienced all of the above.)
Chance went out on the limb of being called crazy
for sharing his experiences, so do I.
But, then what is time? This was mentioned in another post. We don't know. With our creation of it and all the other possibilities from parallel endless Universes, etc.
There...you've found something else within me that answers your thread: What really fires you up inside?
As I find time, I'll start a place to share my poetry that revolves around these topics.
