On "passing time"


In reading Bible Code I (I'm a slow study since it was written two decades ago), I came upon an Einstein quote something to the thought that we may discover past, present and future coexist.  A favorite thought of mine from wherever it originated (I doubt my originally having thought it without influence 'cause I'm not that smart).

Then I wandered readings from a list of Roger brothers published books (see prior posts) including Judge David Patterson-Hatch "Straight Goods on Philosophy."  And from a Google search on the good Judge I was led to Elsa Barker's book "Letters from a Living Dead Man."  So the story goes, Elsa was afflicted (gifted) with spiritual writing.  Her hand was 'borrowed' from a recently dead person's spirit and she wrote numerous letters which, later, were identified by Judge Hatch' son as the writings of his father who had recently passed.  

Having read the two so closely in time, Judge Hatch' philosophies on sympathy and imagination were unmistakable.  Whether that is the result of Elsa Barker's spiritual hand or collusion of Ms. Barker and Judge Hatch isn't what struck me.  It was the consideration of Einstein's thought, not then having been identified as such (which is, no doubt, hardly unique and a question asked as far back to the ancients):

Whether collusion or spiritual intervention, the perspective of a supposedly dead man on the nature of time seems interesting.  [Excerpt is from "Letters from a Living Dead Man" available on Internet Archive.org, Elsa Barker, pg 106].
