If NLT and EHT are reconciled, then the image we come up with is that we are on a film made of time. In terms of coming up with a way of testing this theory, perhaps the first thought would be a matrix like setting where we have to wake up from the dream we're in to a new reality. But that analogy, sadly, fails pretty quickly.
Instead this is more like a character stepping out of the pages of a book or, more precisely, an image on a film stepping out of the film and declaring, "I think, therefore I am" which, of course, in EHT is nonsense. You exist because you are exposed on the film of time and you existed when you were non-linear and the proper wording would be, "I was programmed to think that I think therefore I carry out my programming because I have little choice in the matter."
Fortunately, under NLT, some potential for self-determination is possible, although mathematically unlikely (i.e. it makes more sense for us to be an expression of linearity in non-linear time than for us to have any true self determination, however much that might offend us as self righteous imprints on time.
At first blush, it seems unlikely that the characters on film could make this determination unless we were programmed to make it; but the truth is that (1) we may indeed be programmed to find the answers to our own future (see the story of the cyclops) or (2) self determination may exist because NLT expresses potential only for things to happen (albeit an unlikely scenario).
Also fortunately, the film of time is a very complex film, at least from the perspective of us cartoons on the film and therefore opportunities exist for us to test the theory. Let us discuss some of these:
1) change from energy to matter and back again (rotational change yielding clock time)
2) the near lightspeed acceleration of
3) black hole folding in of time
4) energy to space conversion (in blackholes and as space outside of gravity wells from blackholes-the search of consistent consumption and creation as a function of c^2)
An actual discussion will have to wait for the next entry, but these are all things which we, living on the film, possibly victims of predestination, can nevertheless influence (because we've done it before into eternity?).
So its time for the characters on the screen to "come to life."
This is only one dimension of the testing. If we accept the possibility that we can see the past and the future because we are merely the "current" manifestation of some intellect that exists in Non-linear time without dimension or clock time (linear); then we should be able to test that also. This is a more spiritual type of test and raises the specter that if successful we will see things we do not want to know. But, alas, we all die in the end anyway in this particular movie, so things can only get so bad. So what are the parameters we might look at:
1) pick an event in the future, a time frame, something we prearrange to happen even;
2) look where spiritual events happen (times of widespread death (nostradamus survived the plague years); desert environment (most of our religious legends seem to come from remote or hostile environments); perhaps even specific locations. Find different groups and get them to try to predict these events or take ignorant people and try to get them to locate events in the past.
Because we now know what we're looking for we should be able to stack the deck a little better in the past. That is what we are seeking to do is look at intellect as a time-free item (and dimension free item).
But we will have to cover both the spiritual and non-spiritual tests in later chapters. I have swum myself out and it is time to eat my monk's portion.
