Future Self

[Diana]

Welcome here RCh,

After all these great answers you got, I shall just add this as your post made me think of it, about the simultaneity.

Long before I got to the LOO I remember reading in Neal Walsh, Conversations with God, this interesting little image about time and incarnations.  It said more or less, if you look at all your incarnations, imagine a pole and on this pole are glued all the tiny strips of papers representing each incarnation. If you face the pole you see the strips looking from left to right, if you look at the pole from one of its extremities, you see them all together.  I thought that was an interesting image of how time exists in space/time and time/space..  

Happy journey !

This relates to the idea of vertical time.

There is a thought experiment whereby one is standing at a train station. One only sees the train as it comes into the station, and when the train leaves, one sees it disappear at a certain point. One does not see the past of the train path, or the future of the train path. But if one is standing on a hill or mountaintop, far above the train station, one can presumably see the train in its entire path (past, present, future).
