What’s Above Is Also Below


Written by Mathew Naismith

The following was a reply I gave to a person who believes time is an illusion.


The funny thing is, time doesn't or can't exist within timelessness. Everything is of this timeless consciousness so how can time exist when time can't exist within timelessness? This is a good point which enforces the belief that time actually can’t exist. 

The question now is, can this timeless consciousness actually create anything including an illusion? It can’t because you need a starting and ending point of creation, each illusion and each creation has a starting and ending point, where is the starting and ending point within timelessness? We don’t have one so if an illusion exists so does time!!

What we actually have here is an illusion of an illusion if time doesn’t exist which means time really does exist because we still have an illusion; it’s a creation so we need a starting point for this creation to exist which means time also exists.  As soon as anyone mentions that time is an illusion, they are actually endorsing that time really does exist unbeknownst to them!! 

So where does this leave us with time being unable to exist or have been created by timelessness, how was time created?  This tells us that time has also always existed as timelessness has always existed.  

To me timelessness is of a non-fragmented consciousness (awareness) and time is of fragmented consciousness (ignorance), does being in ignorance make time an illusion because it’s a fragmented ignorant state of consciousness?  I don’t think so however, thinking that this ignorant state of consciousness is all we are is a sort of an illusion because this isn’t all we are, only the ignorant can think this is all we are.

So if everything, other than time, was created from this timeless consciousness, how could have anything been created by this timeless consciousness if this timeless consciousness can’t create anything in the first place? 

In timeliness everything has always been, it’s always in the present moment but only as pure conscious. Now I’m going to theorise that this consciousness enters into time and becomes a consciousness of time to be able to become created. This can only happen through a consciousness of time. 

Is time an illusion?  Either way we answer this question denotes that time does surly exists!!    


This reply to this person actually seems that I have separated everything within time and timelessness, time representing a different consciousness to timelessness but that isn’t quite correct for the main reason it’s still all of a consciousness no matter what.

I like the quote that goes like this, “What is above is also below”, what is above is also represented by what’s below. I look at timelessness as being the male or sperm that fertiliser’s time that is represented by the female or egg. Time is the incubator and creator of timelessness’s interaction with time, the female which is the true creator of life.  As the same with the human species, one of course can’t do without the other. This of course gives us a yin and yang no matter what consciousness we are referring too, this seems like separation but it’s not, no matter what the consciousness it is it’s still consciousness.

This won’t make sense to anyone who goes in and out of timelessness, a consciousness that feels like everything is as one with no separation or differences what so ever. In this timeless consciousness we can also feel that there is only one consciousness, this is a normal human reaction bought on by human feelings. This I feel is caused by our brief interaction with this timeless consciousness however once you experience this state of consciousness enough, things become a little more clear mainly because we are no longer influenced by human feelings and perceptions of this timeless consciousness.

To me time has always existed as has timelessness, they are truly partners, they are different consciousness’s but consciousness still the same, it’s through the interactions of these two consciousness’s that creates just like males and females.

Let’s look at this in a different way using energy as an example. It was said to me that energy can’t be created therefore time doesn’t actually exist because time seemingly creates energy. The thing is time doesn’t actually create energy as such; it changes energy through the interaction of the consciousness’s of time and timelessness, through this interaction it seems to create new energy but it’s only a culmination of an already existing energy that creates different energy flows and fluctuations. Timelessness (male, yang) is an already created energy and time is (female, yin), the creator of various energy flows.

Let’s look at what we have so far.

Timelessness = male (yang) consciousness + sperm + non-creative
Time = female (yin) consciousness+ egg + creation

Now if we take into consideration what is above is also below, what sex is more dominating and abusive on Earth? The male of course (the yang) at the human level. What sex or consciousness is being taught to us that is most important to us?  The male (yang), timelessness over and above the female (yin) time which many of us denounce as an illusion, we are still abusing the female or time itself or Gaia if you like.  We are still, while being primarily dominated by the yang, trying to denounce the importance of time which is represented by yin by making out this yin (time) is an illusion. What is above is also below!!

So what is going on here? Time = female (yin) consciousness+ egg + creation but it is also represents a fragmented consciousness where’s timelessness is representative of a non-fragmented consciousness. I must emphasise here, don’t judged a non-fragmented consciousness as being better than a fragmented consciousness. A fragmented consciousness of time means we can create various energy flows from a non-creating consciousness which is represented by timelessness. Can a male incubate and create others in his own image?  You would wonder why God is said to be male wouldn’t you?  I think we all know the answer to that!!

It is so easy, when going in and out of timelessness, to think this timeless state of consciousness is all we are, it feels that way because all we are experiencing is timelessness, a dominance of the yang energy without the balance of the yin energy.  What is happening at the human level? We are allowing the same thing to happen at the human level, the yang energy is all dominating which gives us the perception the yang energy is more important than the yin, the ego loves to think this but that’s not true in my mind, where would the yang be without the creative yin? 

I personally do not put the consciousness of timelessness above the importance of the consciousness of time; I never really have since my awakening in my mid-teens.  It is understandable that we desire the peace and tranquillity off what timelessness gives and it’s understandable to think this is all we are, the ego wants that more than anything but the point is, we shouldn’t keep trying to separate one from the other, the yin form the yang.  This is exactly what we are trying to do when we state and believe that time is an illusion, point blank.

We could also easily think that time represents the opposite of peace and tranquillity but it doesn’t, it’s our abuse of time through our ignorance that causes such chaos. Take the abuse of females from males, would we have chaos if the male wasn’t abusive and neglectful in the first place? 

I’ve had many instances that I could have stayed in the consciousness of timelessness away from this chaos but I never neglected and abused time.  To me the yin (time) is as equal as the yang (timelessness), yes this goes against a lot of beliefs that time is an illusion but the reason I think we want to believe time is an illusion is because of our male dominance, God has got to be a man and the consciousness of timelessness has got to be all we are, I just don’t think so, it just doesn’t add up to what is above is also below!!

I would like to also point out that time is representative of ignorance and timelessness awareness, this doesn’t mean time, the yin, is ignorant, the reason time is so ignorant is because of the abuse and neglect while in time.  This is the neglect of this timeless consciousness in favour of abusing time that gives us our ignorance.  Time itself isn’t ignorant, it’s as aware as this consciousness of timelessness, it’s just the way we use time that makes time seem so ignorant.  Another thing to consider, when in a timelessness state of consciousness, how neglectful and unaware are we of time?
