Time Isn’t Real — And I Have Proof From the Other Side

Originally published on Medium.com

You probably won’t believe me at first.

I wouldn’t have believed me either… until it actually happened.

Let me tell you what I experienced.

It Started on a Normal Day

I was at home, doing my usual stuff — checking emails, scrolling, sipping on my coffee.

Then, out of nowhere… everything just went dark.

No pain, no fear.

I just blacked out.

For seven minutes, I was gone.

But it didn’t feel like sleep. It felt like I left my body and traveled somewhere else. Somewhere far, but strangely familiar.

I Was Somewhere… Different

When I “woke up,” I wasn’t lying on the floor or anything like that.

I was floating in a place that didn’t look like Earth.

No sky. No floor. No time. Just light, colors, and a calm feeling all around me.

And there was something there with me.

Not a person. Not an alien. Just… something big and kind. Like a mind. A presence. Like it was made of pure understanding.

I didn’t see it speak. But I could feel it talking to me — straight into my thoughts.

The First Thing It Told Me

It said:

“Time isn’t what you think it is.”

I asked (in my mind), What do you mean? Isn’t time just seconds, minutes, days?

And it showed me.

Not with words, but like a movie in my head.

I Saw My Whole Life at Once

Imagine this:

Instead of your life happening in a straight line — birth → school → growing up → getting old — it’s all happening at the same time.

Every moment, from your first birthday to what you’ll eat next year… exists right now.

I saw myself as a baby… hugging my mom… laughing with friends… even stuff I hadn’t done yet.

It all existed together, like pages in a book.

The future wasn’t waiting to happen. It was already there.

And I could step into any moment, like walking into a memory that felt completely real.

So… Is Time Fake?

Not exactly fake. But not what we think it is.

Time is more like a movie on a DVD. All the scenes already exist, but you only watch one scene at a time.

That’s what our brain does — it plays life one second after another, so it feels like time is passing.

But outside of that, in the bigger picture?

There’s no past or future. Only now.

What About Choices and the Future?

This was the coolest part.

I asked: If everything already exists, do I really have choices?

And the answer was:

“Yes. Every choice you make tunes your life to a different version of now.”

It’s like turning the dial on a radio.

There are many songs playing, but what you hear depends on what you choose.

So yes, you still decide what happens — but all the paths already exist. You just pick which one to tune into with your actions.

What Happens When Someone Dies?

I asked this too.

The answer made me cry — in a good way.

“No one really dies. They just move to a different part of the story.”

Just like a radio changes the station, the person’s soul changes its focus.

We don’t lose them forever. We just can’t tune into their channel anymore from here.

But they’re still alive — just in another place, another layer of “now.”

Why Did They Show Me This?

I asked, “Why me? Why are you showing me all this?”

The answer was simple:

“Because you’re ready to understand — and help others remember.”

It wasn’t about religion or science. It was about truth.

We all know deep down that time doesn’t make sense.

Have you ever had déjà vu?

Or a dream that came true?

Or felt like time moves slow when you’re sad and fast when you’re happy?

That’s your soul reminding you:

Time is just a setting. You are bigger than it.

How This Changed Me

After I came back, I felt calm. Not scared of the future anymore.

I don’t worry as much. I don’t rush.

Because I know everything is already okay somewhere in the now.

Even my mistakes? They’re just parts of my story I can learn from.

Even people I miss? I know I’ll see them again.

And the best part?

Every second of my life is precious — because I know it all matters.

Final Thought for You

You don’t have to believe me.

But I hope you remember this:

You are not stuck in time. Time moves through you.

You are more than a body. You are a soul.

And you’re not lost. You’re on a path that already exists — and you’re writing it with every step.
