Time Slips - Have you experienced a time slip?

Hello, My name is Rob, and I am the creator of 'A Trip Down Ducketts Passage' podcast. It is a podcast primarily about the hit 90's BBC sitcom, Goodnight Sweetheart, but we also lean towards looking at popular time slip accounts. This is due to the fact that the sitcom's main character, Gary Sparrow, happens to find a time portal that takes him back to 1940's London during World War 2.

I am looking to find anybody that thinks they may have experienced a time slip themselves. If so I'm hoping that you would feel comfortable sharing their story on our show, or alternatively, you could email me your story for me to read out to our listeners. It doesn't matter how big and fanciful the story is, we are just intrigued to hear some true accounts.

If you are interested in sharing your story, please respond to this post. Or if you would like to reach me directly, you can email me at duckettspod@gmail.com - I look forward to hearing from you.

It happens in the theology of Tibetian Buddhism, when the Dalai Lama reincarnates sometimes he travels back in time and is birn part of the through his previous life elsewhere to prepare the road for something he will do in the life after.

Also Jews sometimes timetravel, taking people back to historical events like when the Jews first started doing their complex calligraphy, to explain why later on schools would emerge to analyze the curves in letters to make predictions.

Just Jews and Tibetian Buddhists do this, no one else.

@Dignaga I'm sorry but Jews can't time travel; they believe in linear time, not cyclical time like Buddhists do

@uikakarotuevegeta Not all Jews and not all Buddhists. I even listed the book above for the Buddhists, as soon as I recall the Jewish source I'll list him too.

Besides, I don't think you grasp how non-linear cyclical time can be, you are looking at it from a 19th century Nietzschean perspective of Eternal Return. Turtullian (ewrly Roman Christian theologian) speculated that God knew things about the past, present and future because he lived through it multiple times, but each cycle through people qould be saved and so wouldn't appear in the next interation. This would imply less actors and so different roles would be played by the same people as different opprotunities would on occasion would emerge. Christians never followed up with this concept so I can't tell you what would happen with the last bad apples who were beyond redemption in any situation presented to them.

@Dignaga that's basically plagiarizing off of Babylonian and other Middle Eastern religions preceding Judaism lol

@uikakarotuevegeta No, in regards to Tertullian it was a original idea in regards to the unique mechanics of eternal recurrence. I was officially a (christian) stoic for a long time (unofficially now) and so did alot of research into the mathematics and myths surrounding the concept (they used it in their theology mixed with Platonic concepts). I never found anything in the west prior that did what Tertullian tried to do here with the already ancient idea.

Of course it was heretical and disregarded, but he got points for inventiveness.

@Dignaga i meant the whole time repeating itself thing, not a monotheistic diety experiencing many universe cycles and saving people each time it ends

Dignaga

@uikakarotuevegeta Oh. I'm not even sure when that started to be honest, I know where it came from, the Yamnaya people, and I know it branched out to India and the West in a variety of forms seemingly unrelated to it's original form (Aion, the little ball roman emperors would hold, victory (the goddess), the wheel of fortune, the pythagorean concept of the creation of the world, the stoic conceot of universal renewal, Hiranyagarbha, the orphic egg, and more I can't even recall.

The west is splattered with the motifs that split off and coevolved all over the place. Most of which you wouldn't even recognize, but I doubt it originated with the Yamnaya, and I equally doubt it comes from the Neolithic as so many historians like to push old ideas from prehistory all the way back to that point. I just don't know where it comes from originally. Some steppe concept that is Proto-European in a cukture that didn't know how to count very high by using decimal points so they just made the world repeat itself instead of coming up with a really big number to express a sum like Archimedes did in the Sand Reckoner. Big everything repeats itself. Solves so many philosophical issues of mathematics, causality, astronomy and time for a preliterate society.
