The Line Between Nonexistence and Now

If we zoom out far enough, past and future collapse into one impossible paradox: neither exists.

What we call the present, this moment right here, is the thin, flickering line dividing nonexistence from nonexistence. Everything you’ve ever experienced, and everything you’ll ever imagine, flows through this line like frames in a film reel. Each slide of reality carries its own version of “past” and “future,” and with every breath, you move through infinite variations of them.

That’s why the past feels unstable. Why some people remember “Luke, I am your father” and others swear it was “No, I am your father.” Why the Fruit of the Loom logo once had a cornucopia, and now doesn’t. Why the Monopoly Man’s monocle disappeared, or why C-3PO’s leg changed color. These shifts, often called the Mandela Effect, aren’t mistakes. They’re glimpses of parallel slides of existence overlapping.

The Steering Wheel of Reality

So what determines the direction of travel through these slides?

Your thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Each one influences which version of reality you tune into. A small internal shift, a decision, a feeling, a word, can tilt the steering wheel, moving you into a timeline where the projected past and future are entirely different.

But what powers that steering wheel? Certainty.

Certainty is the soil where thoughts, emotions, and actions grow. When you were certain that life was unfair, that certainty created a world where unfairness was mirrored back. When you become certain that life is sacred, intelligent, and responsive, reality reshapes to match.

Then comes clarity: the refinement of what you’re certain about. If certainty is faith, clarity is focus. Together, they sculpt your perception of now.

And presence: the final key, is your point of contact with creation. It’s where your internal universe meets the external one. Where awareness fuses with experience.

Decision: The Power to Cut Through Time

The word decision comes from the same root as scissors: to cut off.
Every decision cuts away one timeline and initiates another. You can literally unhook yourself from the past and reroute your destiny through choice.

You might call it “quantum shifting.” Or you might just call it growth.

Whatever name you give it, reality will meet you at your level of awareness. Because your life is not simply happening to you, it’s being reflected from you.

The God Presence Within

At the speed of light, time ceases to exist. There’s no before or after—only the infinite now. At that state of consciousness, we touch what many traditions call God:

  • Omnipotent: all powerful.

  • Omnipresent: everywhere at once.

  • Omniscient: all knowing.

These aren’t distant traits of a deity; they’re latent within us. We are the light moving through the slides of time. And when we remember that, we stop chasing alignment—we become it.
