Time is an illusion. There is in fact no past or future; only present. What is referred to as "past" is in fact a present record of experiences that exists in the mind. What is called "future" is in fact a present perception of events in embryonic form. Time is an imaginary construct used as a model for assimilating life. This can be quite a useful tool, but it is in fact an imperfect understanding of reality that brings both exhilaration and misery. In fact, all things exist simultaneously and eternally. What is called the progression of time is actually the shifting of focus between independent interconnected events, in concert with the life cycle of mortal beings used as vehicles of expression for immortal being. The cycle of birth and death is an illusion. The only beings are eternal and neither die nor are born. What is born and what dies, while reflecting and expressing the nature of eternal being, is not the essence of being. That which comes and goes, that which is born and dies is illusion. Division and separation are tools for exploring understanding, much like mirrors used to perceive an image that does not exist, yet is a reflection of that which does exist.

What then, is time travel? If only the present truly exists, it would not be possible to go into the past or to exist in it. However it is possible to go into different corners of the present, such as the records that exist in our minds. It is even possible to change those records (and thereby effectively change "the past") by an act of will. It is possible to change how we interpret experiences "before" and "after" they happen. Whether we view these experiences as "past" or "future", they continue to occur and affect us as long as we think about them, and even when we do not think about them. However reality is categorized, past and future remain imaginary reference points much like the imaginary source of light that is located behind a mirror and yet does not exist except as an illusion. Time itself is an illusion. All events that occurred, are occurring, and will occur, even those that do not occur and yet are imagined, are interconnected together and inseparable. One thing always leads to another in a continuous circular chain of events that never ends. In reality it is all one eternal present, with intelligent beings perceiving that which they choose.

What is it that intelligent beings choose? It is their will, which is their true essence. They consciously choose to enter illusory time-based worlds in order to gain experience and knowledge. What is called death by mortal beings is a birth of consciousness as the intelligence that inhabited a mortal vehicle is liberated from temporary voluntary entrapment in illusion and begins to experience the eternal moment in which all things exist. Is time travel possible? Technically it is not, since time does not really exist.
