THE SCIENCE OF TIME-TRAVEL (Continued from page 115) and shifts along the tube. An event has occurred. A new thing exists beside the old. Both lie there side by side, and the difference between their aspects is the Change. Also, it is movement. E interval between these two is all that our poor human senses are able to perceive. We cannot see the things them- selves, for we, like all else, are not static elements but interval-relationships in spacetime. And upon that basis we have built our conception of everything—hbeing ourselves a part of this ceaseless change, like shadows to which every other shadow must seem a thing of substance! I need not pursue further the analogy of the time-fluid, You can’ picture the building changing Universe, reborn every instant, extending itself infinitely along the tube of time. With widened imagina- tion thus we can imagine time like the giant ribbon of a motion-picture film of infinite length. The whole story is there upon it. And now we come to particularize. We come to me, to you. In each of us lives a spark of the original catalyst. For simple analogy again, let us suppose that each individual consciousness is endowed with a certain vibration rate, certain char- acteristics by which its energy is made manifest. And so there is only one por- tion of time—one tiny section of the tube with which that vibratory rate is com- patible. We are thus part of the great pattern; changed replicas of each of us are strewn side by side in time, for the lengths of our life-spans. Our senses enable us only to be aware of the intervals between our changes; and so it seems to us that we move forward in time; but upon that great record of time, all those myriad pictures of ‘us are engraved in their progressive changes. The scroll of time, engraved by some- thing inconceivable to the human mind, laboring with all the wisdom, with gentle- ness, sternness and justice and an infinite love. There is the conception.
