I've often thought about time as an illusion experienced by perceivers on "this side" of eternity. Follow me for a moment as I lay out a train of thought:
OK, imagine a circle, within this circle is contained the one-ness, the unity of "All". Just pretend for a moment... within this circle exists All, and All is One. Maybe this All, this One, is the inherent intelligence of the Universe... God, if you will. You might say that "All is contained within the singular unity of the Divine Intelligence, or God. Necessarily, since All is one within our imagined circle, then there is ONLY the One... no distance can be contained within because it's all One. No relationship can exist because All is One, there is no duality to relate to. No movement can exist because All is One. There's no "other" place to go. Since there is no distance, no relationship between One and "other", no motion or movement within the One-ness, then there can be no perception of "Time".
From the perspective of the One, Eternal, "Uni"-verse, all that ever was, is, or will be, exists in eternal "now"-ness. There is no other. Just pure, pristine, divine Awareness. Let's imagine that this Eternal Divine Awareness decides it desires "experiences", which would be impossible in it's current state of eternal "One"-ness. So, from the Divine Intelligence of the "Uni"-verse, a creative expression occurs... let's imagine it utters a Word, which is actually a Vibration.
Instantly, duality- and even multiplicity- comes into being! There is, for the first time, "other", the expressor and the expressed, the perceiver and the perceived. As the vibrational frequency travels forward, "movement" comes into existence! So, now, there is multiplicity rather than oneness, there is now "distance" as this vibrational frequency travels forth from it's source. Along with distance and movement, relationship is born! So, from this single creative impulse from the Divine One-ness of the Universe, all manner of things, perceptions, and realities vibrate into existence.
Imagine that the "One"-ness that existed in our originally described circle still continues to exist, eternal, unchangeable. However, there now, also, co-exists a myriad of other dimensions of reality, all vibrating away- existing on their own vibrational levels. As this creational process continues to move, endless beings come into existence. The paradox is that all of these beings, while remaining ever connected with- (one with)- the original Divine Oneness, develop organs of perception that are in harmony with the particular, vibrational reality into which they emerged into existence. So, they perceive "reality" with the limited (human? animal? plant? Alien?) consciousness that their tools of perception (eyes, ears, smell, feel, etc.) can perceive. As we all know, there's a whole lot more reality that we exist within than we can ever perceive with our senses. But just because we don't experience reality that lies outside our narrow bandwidth of perception has no bearing, whatsoever, on "Reality-As-It-Actually-Is".
Enter "dimensionality". Which consists not only of "other places, times, etc.", but the spaces and realities that co-exist in the right-here-and-now, but are outside the vibrational harmony that our senses are calibrated to perceive. I would imagine that "this side of eternity" is intimately related to our human experience as allowed by our limited tools of perception. There can be other dimensions of "time", "space", "size", "distance", etc., and I would venture to bet there are other dimensions of existence which we don't even have the capabilities to perceive or even imagine.
To me, this understanding of time, and space, and dimension ties into every imaginable field of inquiry- paranormal, UFO, freaky physics, whatever. In particular, the phenomenon reported from the Skinwalker Ranch, and other places like it, are fascinating because they force us to stretch the bounds of our usual perception and what we consider to be "reality". I can assure you, Reality is not what we think it is. Perhaps, the phenomenon we are all so fascinated with on Skinwalker Ranch is nothing more than visits into our perceived vibrational level of reality from beings that either have figured out a way to cross-over into other dimensional vibratory levels than they currently exist in, whether through (alien) technology, or through a perfectly natural (alien) nature which allows them modes of perception and/or capabilities that we can't even dream of from these organic, physical instruments we inhabit called our bodies.
Skinwalkers post about the illusion of time gave rise to these thoughts I have been carrying around for quite some time, excuse the pun.
