With the present makeup of human beings, it is impossible to travel at the speed of light. But scientists theoretically know time slows down drastically at the speed of light. So, it would seem instantaneous for someone to travel half a galaxy away to another planet. In a sense we can transcend our limitations by knowing what it would be like if humans were not made of matter.
This makes me wonder what did Vyasa, the writer of Srimad Bhagavatam, know when he wrote some of the stories in the book. Did he really know that Narada could travel to other worlds in an instant? How did he know that the "prajapatis", or cosmic executives, spread humankind throughout the universe. So, if there are humans throughout the universe, where are they? How come no ETs have contacted us or visited us? If we don't know the answer, is it because our mental capacities are drastically limited during the Kali Yuga that we can't understand humans from Satya Yuga, like Vyasa or Patanjali who wrote their books to make us understand. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <rajawilliamsmith@...> wrote : Does it help to talk about a personal experience , maybe one can talk about experience itself, I thought Biblical "Job " gives a good account ,but its popularly known as an account of great suffering, not a Throne of God experience. Personally i believe we can transcend time in a space ship, therefore travel great distances in what would seem like faster than the speed of light. Job had the Throne of God experience because he care deeply about his world.
