Tuesday marked the 1,600th anniversary of one of the turning points of European history – the first sack of Imperial Rome by an army of Visigoths, northern European barbarian tribesmen, led by a general called Alaric.

It was the first time in 800 years that Rome had been successfully invaded. The event had reverberations around the Mediterranean.

Jerome, an early Christian Church Father, in a letter to a friend from Bethlehem – where he happened to be living – wrote that he burst into tears upon hearing the news.

“My voice sticks in my throat, and, as I dictate, sobs choke me. The city which had taken the whole world was itself taken,” he said.

Although Alaric was a Christian ransacking a Christian city, there was an ominous feeling that the world structure built by pagan Rome was disintegrating.

The Roman Empire survived for a few more decades, and later other armies sacked the city again, but this was the date which marked the beginning of the end of Rome’s grandeur.

Centuries later, the city which had at the height of its power boasted a population of more than a million people, was reduced to a lawless, ruined village of no more than 30,000 residents.

Pagans claimed that Christians had destroyed the greatest human achievement ever contrived.

And Christians themselves, who had boasted that they had saved whatever was good in ancient civilisation, lifting it to new heights, suffered a crisis of confidence.

Although the now-Christian Roman Empire was divided between an Emperor of the West, ruling with his court from the city of Ravenna in Northern Italy and a rival Emperor of the East, ruling from Constantinople, there was a feeling that there had been a breakdown at the centre of things, in fabled Rome.

Historians and archaeologists from Germany, Switzerland, Britain and the United States specialising in the decline and fall of the Roman Empire have decided to meet in Rome in October and November to pool their latest research about this first Sack of Rome.

One of the organisers of the conference is Philipp Von Rummel of the German Archaeological Centre in Rome.

I asked him if 24 August 410 might be considered the 9/11 of the ancient world.

“Probably even more so,” he replied. “I don’t know if people will still be talking about 9/11 in 2,000 years time, but the events of that August day still influence our contemporary view of history.”

Who exactly were the Visigoths, the barbarians from the North who marched unopposed into Rome?

Mr Von Rummel says the latest research reveals a very different picture from that held as recently as 50 years ago.

“Today we know the group consisted of different people, it was mainly an army with a successful leader. People joined this group inside the Roman Empire. They sacked a lot of towns but they acted in different ways, they also were a sometime partner of the Romans,” he said.

“The moment the Roman emperor did not pay any more they changed sides and sacked the town just to tell the emperor: ‘You should pay us’.”

A look back in time..one of the biggest lies you will hear is that history doesn’t repeat itself…it does…didn’t we just get a Hindenberg Omen on that day ? The empire of Rome never really failed, it just got outsourced.

Wikipedia says:

“A time slip (also called a timeslip) is an alleged paranormal phenomenon in which a person, or group of people, travel through time through supernatural (rather than technological) means. As with all paranormal phenomena, the objective reality of such experiences is disputed.

CASES:

Ghosts of Versailles

One of the best-known, and earliest, examples of a time slip was reported by two English women, Charlotte Anne Moberly (16 September 1846 – 7 May 1937) and Eleanor Jourdain (1863–1924), the principal and vice-principal of St Hugh’s College, Oxford, who believed they slipped back in time in the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles from the summer of 1901 to the period of the French Revolution.

The Vanishing Hotel

A widely-publicised case from October 1979, described in the ITV television series Strange But True?, concerned the Simpsons and the Gisbys, two English married couples driving through France en route to a holiday in Spain. They claimed to have stayed overnight at a curiously old-fashioned hotel and decided to break their return journey at the same hotel but were unable to find it. Photographs taken during their stay, which were in the middle of a roll of film, were missing, even from the negative strips, when the pictures were developed.

Other cases

More recent reports include a series of accounts of apparent time slips in the area of Bold Street, Liverpool from the 1990s to the present day.”

Could this explain why ghosts only haunt certain buildings?

Could some EVP just be the result of a time slip?

It is said that during a time slip, you feel depressed, this is the result of magnetic electric interferances.
Could this explain why ghosts create magnetic electric interferences?

What if timeslips could also go into the future?
This might also explain the Heiroglphys of airplanes and tanks from ancient Egypt.

This could explain Nostradamus predictions, as well as the book ’1984,’ by George Orwell.
However, some of the predictions by Nostradamus ended differently than how he had thought. Could this be because of some parallel timeline ?

Deja Vu is yet to be explained by scientists, though many believe the following:

“Since the first years of the 20th century, déjà vu has been subject to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. Scientifically speaking, the most likely explanation of déjà vu is not that it is an act of “precognition” or “prophecy”, but rather that it is an anomaly of memory giving the impression that an experience is “being recalled.”

This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of “recollection” at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the “previous” experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the “unsettling” experience of déjà vu itself, but little or no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were “remembering” when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past). The events would be stored into memory before the conscious part of the brain even receives the information and processes it.

Another theory being explored is that of vision. As the theory suggests, one eye may record what is seen fractionally faster than the other, creating that “strong recollection” sensation upon the “same” scene being viewed milliseconds later by the opposite eye. However, this one fails to explain the phenomenon when other sensory inputs are involved, such as the auditive part, and especially the digital part. If one, for instance, experiences déjà vu of someone slapping the fingers on his left hand, then the déjà vu feeling is certainly not due to his right hand experiencing the same sensation later than his left hand considering that his right hand would never receive the same sensory input. Also, persons with only one eye still report experiencing déjà vu or déjà vécu (a rare disorder of memory, similar to persistent déjà vu). The global phenomenon must therefore be narrowed down to the brain itself (say, one hemisphere would be late compared to the other one).”

As for the theory whether or not Time is even real, consider what Norman McDowell thinks:

“Time is a human perception because: The human body. YOUR human body is in all three of the “times”; past present and future. Look at a clock. The person you are now, in the present, in one minute will be in the past. That same person right now is one minute in the future in the future. let me rephrase that: In one minute’s time the you that you are now will be in the past. The future you will become the present you and then almost instantly the past you. therefor it is the MIND, not the body, can only be in one time at once, the present. It is the mind, or the conscious, or perception that keeps ourselves seeing things in the present. Nothing else, stones, cars, even our own bodies are in only one time at once. therefor it is a perception, not a force or dimension.

for time to exist there needs to be a past a present and a future.The present is dependent on the the past, as is the future, and the future is dependent on the present. The past cannot be changed. The present is nothing but the perception of the future turning into the past. the future cannot be changed because it has not occurred, if it could be changed for instance if I flipped a coin and it was going to land on heads, but it was changed so that it would land on tails, the future still would not have changed. (If the future could change there would actually need to be an already existing situation that says this is the future, however if there were this situation, it would be known and therefor would have had to have happened already in the past. which no longer makes it the future) Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. in stopping one thing from happening you have created a new thing to happen, which is still the future. So if the future cannot be changed and the past cannot be changed and the present is virtually non-existant because there is not a measurement of time small enough to measure the present, than time is absolute. It is all inevitable from beginning to end. Time changes nothing. Time changes nothing. Change is NOT consequential through time. If anything time is only the measurement of change. What is the purpose of time? Time is very useful for us humans.

-time is the measurement of changes in energy in the universe.

-So complicated, all of it…I don’t know why certain atoms are attracted to others, or why atoms even exist, or why life decided to form. Apparently it formed because a mixture of carbon and electricity, billions of years ago, on earth at least. But the purpose, why would there be life rather than not? Why not just elements?

-anyways, life could never have emerged without change. It never could have developed without change. Maybe….life did not develop the perception of time in order to evolve.

-Non living things move with energy and need not know why. Life is change. Always from its birth to death big and small life is drastic change. Life if change, time is the measurement of change, time is the measurement of life, time cannot exist without life, time only exists because life exists, life exists because change exists….why does change exist?

Why does change exist?”

The mind is programed to be able to see the present and past, but if time does not exist, and everything has already happened, past, present and future are one, then we can see the future as well. We need to reprogram our minds to see the future.

An experiment was done in 2007, the full article is here: MANY SCIENTISTS CONVINCED MAN CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE.

Radin became convinced that thoughts and feelings – and occasionally-actual glimpses of the future – could flow backwards in time to guide soldiers. It helped them make lifesaving decisions, often on the basis of a hunch.

He devised an experiment to test these ideas. He hooked up volunteers to a modified lie detector, which measured an electrical current across the surface of the skin.

This current changes when a person reacts to an event such as seeing an extremely violent picture or video. It’s the electrical equivalent of a wince. Radin showed sexually explicit, violent or soothing images to volunteers in a random sequence determined by computer.

And he soon discovered that people began reacting to the pictures before they saw them. It was unmistakable.

They began to ‘wince’ a few seconds before they actually saw the image.

And it happened time and time again, way beyond what chance alone would allow.

So impressive were Radin’s results that Dr Kary Mullis, a Nobel Prizewinning chemist, took an interest.

He was hooked up to Radin’s machine and shown the emotionally charged images.

‘It’s spooky,’ he says ‘I could see about three seconds into the future.

The information you say is stored away in the mind is not precise. You can, however, use it to access this information, that is commonly called, in occult language, the life plan. But for this to happen, you need a very high level of consciousness, to be able to have access to certain records in the astral plane. In these records, you can find your own life plan that you studied before you arrived in the 3rd density, and you approved of the life plan you are currently experiencing. Of course, you are denied the right (in most cases) to remember it, for it would not benefit the soul’s experience.

Sometimes, people get insights into their own future. You have cited a few examples in your posts. These insights are special permissions that are allowed by guides in the astral plane, and are part of the programming you are subjected to. And of course, we have the psychics who are in position to receive trans-communications (astral merger) from entities of the astral world. But how can we tell if the information we get from these entities is 100% accurate? the answer is “We can’t” because we have no knowledge of the laws governing that particular plane, and we are unable to know for sure if we’re getting the correct information.

If we do, however, attain very high levels of consciousness, we do not need to access these records, for we have broken our karma link with the soul, and therefore are not subject to any form of life plan, or manipulation of any kind.

The need to know our future is a certain form of egoic insecurity, that stems from anxiety caused by manipulated thoughts we receive within the mind.

Edit to add: Intuition to its purest form would be another way to have access to some of the information, but unfortunately, not many humans know how to use it, for they have no knowledge of all the inner workings of the mind, and also have no clue of the cosmic forces involved in their own physical experience.
