Welcome back to my third and final post on The Source Field Investigations (you can check here for Part One or Part Two).
Wilcock is very impressed with the writings of a Russian scientist, Nikolai Kozyrev, who did considerable work on the nature of time, or more specifically, the flow of time. As in quantum physics, many of his discoveries just don't make sense to our rational minds. For example, Kozyrev states that the flow of time isn't constant, it can be slowed down or speeded up under certain conditions. And time does not "push through space in a straight line," it spins, twists or rotates.
Wilcock also cites the work of Otis Carr, a student of Nikola Tesla and later inventor of the Otis elevator system. According to Ralph Ring, an associate of Carr, interviewed on Project Camelot, Carr believed that,
...Man in a sense created time. Time doesn't exist, in essence. It does when we create it, and we have a beginning and an end to something. We call that time. But in a greater reality, there is no time.
This all leads Wilcock to postulate that time must be three-dimensional and that the Source Field is not confined to linear time. It also leads to some interesting speculation related to the mutability of the past, present and future.
This is all very intriguing if you take quite literally the familiar notion that 2012 will lead to "the end of time as we know it." Much of the writing around 2012 revolves around the notion that somehow the nature of time itself will change markedly.
According to Wilcock,
...Time...may change in some fundamental way -- giving us the ability to enter into nonlocal, nonlinear time -- the realm of time-space -- much more easily.
Although personally I find it extremely difficult to imagine human existence without time, virtually every account I have read of the afterlife includes the observation that time doesn't exist on the other side, or at least doesn't exist as we know it.
Much speculation about the Mayan 2012 prophesies revolves around the notion of our entering a Golden Age, and Wilcock does an excellent job of tracing the history of the concept back to its very origins in Zoroastrianism. Drawing on the work of various classical scholars, he includes a number of statements that have a very familiar ring to anyone steeped in the 2012 literature. For example:
- The earth will be restored to its "original perfection" and "time will be no more"
- There will be a progressive weakening of evil
- Each of us will be given a choice as to whether we wish to keep reincarnating or not
- We will have a "future body" (which appears to be something very similar to our contemporary notions of the astral body)
- Those of us who decide not to take the "Great Invitation" can continue living as we are now, if we wish
This discussion of the Golden Age is also reminiscent of an earlier post on Geoff Stray's comments involving the Paqos (Q'ero priests in the Peruvian Andes). According to them, "the turning over of the world" would start in 1990 and culminate in 2012 with the beginning of Taripay Pacha, a golden age when "the upper world, lower world and everyday world will unite," -- an age in which we will be "meeting ourselves again."
Wilcock's reading of Zoroastrianism also leads him to speculate that "...the real purpose of...negative forces are [sic] simply to help us evolve in consciousness; ...they were never intended to win -- and never can...." This is a very interesting concept and one which we will explore in future posts, drawing on such sources as Courageous Souls, the channeled messages of Michael Quinsey, and the utterly fascinating and unprecedented Hidden_Hand dialogues.
Wilcock concludes with several sentiments with which I heartily concur, including:
...disaster prophesies are a misunderstanding...we're already seeing the worst of the Earth Changes...
...all events now happening on earth...have a positive purpose -- to help inspire a mass, collective human evolution and awakening.
We appear to be in safe hands -- guided through an evolutionary process by forces much greater than most of us could ever comprehend.
And perhaps most importantly,
The earth is a school for spiritual learning, and we are all students.

If you are interested in learning more about Wilcock and his interesting history, you can see The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce? by Wynn Free, with extensive comments by Wilcock himself. You can also view a pre-publication video below in which he discussed much of the material which soon appeared in The Source Field Investigations.
