 My First Essay on Circular Time


 We are going backwards a little, as I return to the point where I first discovered circular time.   Or, to put more correctly, when I saw clearly what the ancients were saying.

Many have now dismissed the end of time prophecies as nothing happened on 21st December 2012.  However, you will see from the following that it nowhere did anyone in ancient worlds say the world would end suddenly in one day.  

Approach [Process]

The approach is everything.   In the accounting profession of which I have been a member for at least 35 years, we call this the Process.   By definition, our results can only be as good as the Process, and our adherence to the Process.  

My approach is to view collect the factual information, then try and see what ‘picture’ emerges.  

My main sources are the Mayans, the Maori legends of New Zealand, the Pyramid Texts, the Egyptian religion, and basically all ancient legends myths etc.  

The next step is to test the picture against what the ancients left us.  It is most important to consider only what they left us.   Interpretations made by later researchers should be discarded

I have included in the factual information, results from theoretical maths.   I am not a mathematician, and have taken conclusions only.

Forest versus the Trees

We have all heard of the saying ‘can’t see the forest for the trees’.  

It is important to keep trying to see the picture the ancients were presenting.   Strong discipline is required to keep away from analysing each tree, twig and leaf found within the forest.  

I can’t emphasis enough the importance of returning to the picture and testing it against the information left to us.    

On an almost daily basis, my picture is expanding as more information makes sense.  

Giza Monuments

We must not forget the contribution  made by the Giza Monuments.   Forget the theories about construction, reasons for construction etc.   Only one type of factual information can be extracted from the Giza Monuments – the mathematical findings.  

Reverse evidence is also useful for holding in the back of ones mind, when trying to see the total picture.   The AEs did not claim to have built the Giza monuments.   In reality, they attributed these monuments to their understanding of God.  

What lead me into a Time Circle?

After having followed the above approach for 16 years, I still wasn’t happy that I was seeing the picture.   The novel I started [still have the story in dot format] was based totally upon interdimensional interference, but this still wasn’t fitting the totality of what the ancients left us.

Then ideas of time being circular started to surface.    I kept looking at the material behind this idea, then back to the ancients, noted the maths that Don and others were producing from Giza:  then sat back and tried to see what was falling out of the picture.  

Then one day, the answer was there.   So obvious to me now, yet so elusive at the time.  

Indeed as the mathematicians have theorised, time/space is circular.  

We live in an illusion of linear time, only because we exist within the beginning and end of a time/space circle doing its thing.  

Bowel Bacteria versus Totality of the Human Being

It occurred to me that if there was something out there bigger than us – and the ancients were adamant there was – then maybe we are like the bacteria in the human bowel.   That bacteria is quite justified in thinking the bowel is the beginning and end of existence.   Justified because it cannot see any further.   Yet we know there is a body in which the bowel is contained.   Not only that, the body holds a soul which has feelings and is able to express emotion.

In looking for the picture, it is important not to be like the bacteria, and assume the bowel is the all there is.   The ancients knew there was more.  

I do not profess to understand why a greater being does what it does.   My aim is to try and understand the effect upon us – the equivalent of the bacteria in the bowel.

2012 Prophecies

In my quest to find what it was the ancients knew, the 2012 prophecies were noted.

Nowhere is it said that the world will end, only that time will end.  

Once again, it is important to discard the interpretations etc put upon this by later researchers.  

What is a Time Circle?

The Time Circle is nothing more than the name I have gaven to the time/space circle which created our existence.   I gave it this name because it conveyed a sense of what it is – a being that exists in circular time/space.   It cannot exist in any other way, other than circular, because that is what time/space is.

Like the human in which the bowel bacteria exists, the time circle in which we exist, is a being with emotions and feelings, but without a physical body.   I think it exists at electromagnetic level.

I have no idea why it does not have a physical body - maybe that is why it created us.

This time circle has been given various names by ancient cultures.  

How does it interact with us?

This part is extremely difficult to convey in words, but once understood, seems so obvious.

The time circle begins and ends at the same place.   Therefore, the ending is known as its journey begins.   The journey is to complete a circle.   It exists by following the path of a circle.   

When our time circle began a new circle, it created a physical existence within itself – us. 

While our time circle is moving through its existence in circle fashion, we are left alone to complete the illusion of a linear existence.   I say illusion, because it is nothing more than the linear time it takes for the circle to complete itself.    We have created the idea of linear time from within our position within a circle.   In reality, linear time does not exist.  

Our existence can not have a life longer than the time it will take for the circle to come back to its beginning.

When the circle began, it knew when it would return, because it knew when the circle would close.   In my opinion, that information is the Mayan calendar.    It ends at 2012, because that is when the circle will complete itself.   It knew that when it began, because it began where it would end.   Somehow it was able to leave with us the information regarding its return.

Conclusion

Once the concept of circular time/space in reality is grasped, then more and more questions surface and more information can be extracted from the ancients.

Obviously the most important question is how it will manifest itself in our physical world upon the closing of its circle.

Back to the Beginning


 I started this blog at my poster presentation at the CPAK conference October 2012, Palm Springs.   This presentation merely put out the idea for circular time, and my attempts to disprove the idea.

I return to my early work on how I relate circular time to our history.  It began with years of study of the Ancient Egyptian religion.  

My understanding of Egyptology follows.   Egyptology studies the history of ancient Egypt as left to us by them.   Most significant and fascinating within this history, is the AE religion and their relationship with their God(s).   Much work and study, including PHD thesis, have been done on the complex array of gods and religious ideas.   The most predominant  god was Ra, with his son Horus.   You could spend a lifetime simply studying the AE concept of these gods.   Further, the relationship of the AEs through their religion to the Giza monuments, is an issue which has been studied extensively.   

If I could make one conclusion it is that the Giza monuments were considered by the AEs to have complex purpose relevant to the journey of the soul through life and death.  

What Egyptology generally does not do, is try and date monuments.   Egyptology deals with what the AEs left us as regards their relationship with those monuments. 

If you say Egyptologists are wrong, then you are saying that the Ancient Egyptians got it wrong.   This is the mistake most alternative writers make.   

Having been fascinated for years with the saying 'the world fears time but time fears the pyramids', I  came to the view that the pyramids and their relationship in the Giza complex, enable a linear time existence -albeit of limited life -  to exist within a universe where time/space is circular.

Osiris


Following on from the post on 17th November 2012, let us have a look at what the pyramid texts have to say about Osiris.   Why Osiris you ask – because the Ancient Egyptians used the starbelt of Orion to symbolize Osiris.    And, as many of you already know, the Giza Pyramids replicate 2 of the 3 major stars in Orion.   For these reasons just mentioned, Osiris interests me as regards obtaining an understanding of what will happen when the large circle closes. 


Firstly, to return to the point of departure, to start, it is necessary to give back life. Osiris is Atum, the one who accomplished the cycle, whose other face is Re, one being the nocturnal part, the vital strengths, the other the diurnal part, the luminous strengths, according to the famous formula of the tomb of Nefertari. In other words, the death is generative of life: Horus, the descendant, symbol of the continuity, is born of his dead father.

CPAK Poster

The following represents a summary of what I put up on the poster presentation - a summary of only the words as pictures were included on the poster.  

Please note the comments on the Voyager spacecraft in No 5.   





Circular Time – not cycles
A matter of interpretation
By Elizabeth Newton
newton@atumra.net

1       Context
Traditional view – Ancient references, including Yugas, assumed to refer to cycles.   More likely, the ancient understanding was of circular time.  
 Objective – to test the assertion that we exist within circular time.

2       Review of Ancient Expressions 
Ancient Calendars expressed in circular format.   The Babylonian Calendar.   The Egyptian Calendar.   The Mayan Calendar.
The Phaestos Disk is circular. 
The alchemy symbol of the Ouroborus is circular – serpent swallowing its tail. 

3       Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid has been mathematically expressed through the creation of a circle out of pentagons.   See Greg Mitchells work at this reference



4       Circular Time
In circular time, the end and the beginning are the same. 
Mayan Calendar telling us when Circle closes – the ‘end times’ are when the beginning is reached. 
‘End Time’ prophecies are not foretelling the future.  Instead knowledge of the end will be known at the beginning. 

5       Scientific
Time/space is curved. 
Planets are spheres [3 dimensional] – same shape as circle [2 dimensional]
Planet’s orbit is Ellipse – closed curve.
Voyager problems - trying to leave a circle???  What if circle is ‘closed’?   How can Voyager leave a closed system? 

6       Example – Prometheus Movie
Summary of plot – aliens create humans in past.   Then return to destroy humans.   This is linear time. 
In circular time, only one alien visit.   Circle began at time of destruction.  
Humans created out of image of destroyer.   
Humans exist whilst circle is running.

7       Conclusion
Through examination of ancient understandings and calendars, combined with modern day observations, I have tested the assertion that our existence is circular in nature.
The prophesised ‘end times’ refer to the point when the circle closes.
Difficult to find anything that disproves circular time.
 
 More on Voyager Spacecraft

 Based on the concept of circular time, I had predicted in my poster presentation at the CPAK conference October 2012, Palm Springs, California, I was  most interested to read this in yesterday's newspaper.



Speaking to reporters from the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, Krimigis and former Jet Propulsion Laboratory Director Edward Stone described the newly discovered region as a "magnetic highway" that connects the heliosphere, the bubble surrounding the solar system, to the vast expanse of space beyond.
I will maintain that Voyager cannot pass through this magnetic field as I don't think it can leave a closed circle.

Ancient Egyptians

After many years of careful analysis of the Ancient Egyptian religion including the pyramid texts, I am have come to a view regarding what they worshipped.    This view is persuasive rather than conclusive, and it is an evolving view.

Unlike modern day religions which worship supposed historic figures, the Ancient Egyptians appear to have engaged in a form of replication without historical reference.   To use a newage term, they appear to have been engaged in the ‘now’, or some would say the ‘present’.

This fits nicely with the idea of the pharaoh being the living Horus.   The pharaoh replicated Horus, not as an historical figure but as a continuing concept.

The pyramid texts tell the end of the story.  Not the ending as it will happen in our time/space, but what is happening within the galaxy as the large circle closes.

Circular Time and Predetermination


Yesterday I was asked by email if circular time has a relationship to predetermination.

I guess this is a tricky question.   Although it looks radical, my understanding of circular time is based as much on mathematics as on interpretation of ancient concepts.  

I could look at this issue this way.   Once the circle is commenced, its closing is inevitable.   As the value of the curve is determined, then the closing point can be determined.   Until a circle has commenced, there is no predetermination.    By definition, as soon as a circle is started, there is predetermination.   What will/has happened at the closing of the circle can be seen as the ‘now’, but only at the time the circle has begun.

I am proposing that our entire existence is circular – endless circles, each existing within a larger circle.   As each circle commences a glimpse of its ending is available.  

We think we exist within a linear timeframe.   I would suggest that our minds are conditioned to think of time as being linear making it difficult to grasp the concept of circular.

Circular Time – not Cycles – a matter of interpretation
by Elizabeth Newton
Email   newton@atumra.net

Ancient Understanding of Circular Time versus Cycles. 

According to many writers, the ancients had an understanding of cycles, for example, the Yugas.  In fact the CPAK conference encourages study of precession and ancient knowledge.  

Could it be that the supposed ancient understanding of cycles was in reality an understanding of circular time?

Assertion

That the Mayan Calender is expressed in circular format is the basis for my assertion that we exist within circular time.  Most have interpreted the Mayan Calendar to be representative of cycles.  I do not accept this interpretation is correct.   Other ancient calendars were also expressed in circular format, suggesting at some time in our distance past, time was understood as being circular in nature.  

Using processes from financial auditing, I test the assertion that we exist within circular time, as distinct from experiencing cycles along a linear time line.

Relevance of Circular time versus Cycle.

A Circle begins and ends at the same point.   If we live within a time circle, then we are inevitably moving towards the point when the circle began.

The existence of a linear time line within the time circle is an illusion.   Whilst within the circle, movement around the circle has the illusion of moving in a linear direction, whereas in reality, movement is towards the beginning/end.  

A cycle assumes a linear time line, with the various cycles moving in and out of that linear line.  


If the Mayan calendar is indeed a circle, as I have asserted, then the ‘end times’ are not a prophecy.   When the time circle began, it would have been known when it would close.  

Disprove the Assertion

Unlike scientific methods, which seek to obtain evidence to prove a theory, financial auditing works in a type of reverse fashion.    An assertion is made, which is based upon a degree of factual reality, then the auditor seeks to disprove the assertion.   For example, an organisation asserts that it has a term deposit for $100,000.   Superficially it might look like the auditor attempts to prove the $100,000 exists.   In reality, the auditing process attempts to disprove the assertion that the $100,000 term deposits exists.  

As my experience is in financial auditing as distinct from the scientific process, on a continual basis, I test my theory of Circular time in an effort to disprove it.  

So far, I have not found anything to disprove the theory of circular time. 



Considerations

I have considered -

1.     Time space.   Science suggests that time/space is curved.   A curve suggests a connection with something circular in nature.  
2.      Ancient understandings.  The ancients had an understanding of circles/cycles.   It is unclear whether original ancient understanding was of time as circular or cyclical, although at some stage the two became one and the same.  Ancient calendars were depicted in circular format, which suggests an original understanding of circular time.   The Phaestos Disk is circular. The Mayan Calendar is circular.  The Egyptian calendar is circular.
3.      The Great Pyramid can be mathematically expressed as a circular pentagon.   The Mayan calendar also exists exactly within the pentagon. * [I have Greg Mitchells permission draw from his work on this issue].
4.      Some of Don Barone’s mathematical work, which seeks to prove that the three Giza Pyramids and the solar system are based upon the same mathematical blueprint, has Giza existing within a mathematical circle.     
5.      Our planets are spheres, which have the same shape as a circle – the sphere is 3 dimensional; the circle is 2 dimensional.
6.      The planets orbit the sun in a circular manner known as Ellipses, which are a closed curve.

7.      Consider the ancient symbol of the ouroborus, depicting  serpent or dragon eating its own tail.  Often interpreted as the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, the Ouroborus nevertheless creates a circle.   In my opinion, the ancients were quite clear in what they were trying to depict – a circle, not one cycle ending and another beginning.   Images of the Ouroborus, sometimes with two serpents swallowing each others tail, can be found throughout ancient societies and in alchemy.
8.      The Phaistos Disc (also spelled Phaistos Disk, Phaestos Disc) is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the Greek island of Crete, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). It is about 15 cm (5.9 in) in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. Its purpose and meaning, and even its original geographical place of manufacture, remain disputed, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology. This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion.   Most notably the disk was constructed in circular format.
9.      There are many other examples of ancient relics of symbolic importance to an ancient society, all expressed in circular format.  


Example of Circular versus Cyclical time.
If you have you seen the movie Prometheus, then this example might appeal to you.
In Prometheus, a linear time line is assumed.   The aliens came to our planet eons ago, leaving their DNA, to enable the creation of humans.   The movie plot revolved around the aliens returning to earth with a view to destroying what they had created.
However, we might get a different result if our existence is encompassed in a time circle.   If the creator began the circle at the exact time of the alien destructive visit, then we could have been created out of the alien DNA – not from a prior visit, but from the beginning and ending of the time circle at the exact point when the alien arrived.    
To summarise - one alien visit in circular time, two in a cycle.  

Conclusion
If the Mayan calendar represents circular time, then the ‘end times’ are not a prophecy of the future.  Rather the closing of the time circle represents the end and the beginning, which were always one.
