The Future Already Knows, Part 2

Last month, I wrote about Julia Mossbridge, a cognitive neuroscientist with a sideline in messing around with our understanding of time. She recently published her first peer-reviewed physics paper. The study replicates and expands on something she calls CADS — Causally Ambiguous Duration Sorting — and if she’s right, the implications are staggering. I needed to learn more.

It might be helpful to read my original article for the details. Today, I want to share portions of a subsequent conversation I had with Julia.

Bruce: Let me ask you why you connect love and time. (As her website says, she is "ruthlessly focused on developing a deep understanding of love, time, technology, and how these human experiences relate to corresponding physical forces.")

Julia: There are a couple answers to that. One is what I am aware right now and there may be answers in the future of which I'm not aware.

When you start thinking about time like this—like a circle—you start thinking about causality moving forward and backwards. You realize that when you're looking at a person including yourself, because of the way memory works, for the most part, you're only taking into account the forces that have acted from the past.

But assuming there are forces acting from the future all the way till my death, let's say there's forces acting from the future so that every moment is an agreement between the past and the future. Judging someone based on what you know now with no knowledge of what the future forces are that are acting on them is a heinous crime. So judgment itself becomes a non-starter... It's too complex.

So the only response to that situation is unconditional love. Changing your mind about how time works actually forces you to reckon with the idea of I don't know enough to judge anyone. Unconditional love is the only answer. It's the only humane answer.

(Important note from Bruce. That's a big statement Julia shared. In my experience, you have to sit with this for a while and let it sink in. In some respects, it's a variation on the idea that we should never judge another person without knowing their whole story: how they were raised, have they experienced trauma or loss, what obstacles have they encountered. Julia is adding a big variable to the equation, which is that if information from the future seeps into the present, we can never know another person's whole story.)

Julia: Another way is that I have spent a little time training people to do pre-cognitive remote viewing, which changes their thinking about time. And I've just seen operationally that their capacity to love and to tap into unconditional love improves. It's almost like it's a spiritual path. (Note: Julia is co-author of the book The Premonition Code: The Science of Precognition, How Sensing the Future Can Change Your Life.)

I feel there is a connection that I don't totally understand. And then vice versa, the data from just having people with a metric to measure the capacity to feel all the conditional love in that moment, having people rate themselves on that metric and then do a precognitive task, those who are rated higher on that metric are actually performing better on the precognitive task, significantly better than those who rate themselves lower on that metric in that moment. So that shows another sort of directionality.

So there seems to be some kind of relationship between your capacity to reflect that you might be receiving information from the future or that the future could cause the now and an opening up. And it seems to go both ways.

Bruce: It seems to me that what you just said is a huge lever for changing people and society. If we are getting information from both the past and the future—but not truly comprehending the future—then we must be less judgmental and offer more unconditional love. Because we never have the whole picture.

Julia: We're all doing the best we can. Literally no one is capable of doing anything other than the best they can.

Bruce: Right, but I heard you say that this not just shifts your attitudes, it might also shift what you're capable of doing.

Julia: It shifts your awareness of the information that you are getting from the future. That brings it more into conscious awareness—like opening a door. If we assume that we're in the middle here and we've got the past effects and we've got the future effects and we're not aware of the future effects causes for the most part consciously, but our unconscious mind is. The future is affecting our behaviors through our unconscious mind.

By tapping into unconditional love and expanding that out, it actually changes your capacity. Now, you can actually consciously receive some of this information from the future, not all of it at once; that would be too much. Can't do that. But just specifically related to a particular need.

You have to be careful with this stuff because some people will read that and they'll say, well, my family was killed in an accident. Does that mean I wasn't in a loving state?

It's really not compassionate to say that this is happening all the time, and if you just tap into it. You have to be very careful. We're not as in control of all this as we like to think we are. So magic happened to you. You got to be in a state where you got that information. You didn't even have to think about it. Your body just did it, and that saved your life and that's great.

And how can we move ourselves to where more people are having that experience? I think that's where working on unconditional love comes in.

One of the things Julia told me before we finished is that we should never think, "I'm just one person, what can I do?"

At one point, I used that phrase, and later she pushed back, saying, "Don't be one person. You're not one person. That's bullshit. When we think we are one person and we have to do a thing, that's the biggest avenue that takes you to failure.

"I'm really wanting you to hear that because the flow that you had in those moments (we were discussing from my past experiences) is the exact flow. That's when you're not one person, you're connected to the universe. That's what brings your work into the world."

Spread unconditional love.

Know that we are all connected.
