I like the computer game analogy, I think it demonstrates the concept nicely. To use quantum physics terms, at the point of making a choice we collapse the wave into a specific reality. And until that moment all choices exist as a potential. Just like in a computer game before we make our next move.Perhaps both our concepts are just reflections or different perspectives on the same thing? Computer games can be viewed as cyclical in nature since you will recycle back to the beginning if you don't make the grade/pre-set level. All possibilities and scenarios are already factored into the program at the outset, it then just depends on your choices and how you play the game to determine the result. If you make the grade, the program then takes you on to the next cycle (circle). You say time is cyclical not linear. However, I recall that the C's have also said time is an illusion created within our minds and does not really exist. That would appear to apply to cyclical time just as much as to linear time.
As for neither linear not cyclical time existing, you're right, the cycles happen simultaneously, there is no sequence as such. What I meant to covey was that it is cycles that take place simultaneously, not the progression of a straight line, as the linear concept of time suggests.
As for repeating time loops, I recall a brilliant Star Trek the Next Generation episode where the crew were stuck in a repeating time loop, which always ended in the ship's destruction. However, as they started to wake up to the fact they were in a time loop, they started to make incremental changes to each repetition of the loop until at last they managed to avoid the moment of destruction. Although that was fiction, perhaps there is a lesson there for us.
If these cycles are time loops, it makes you wonder how many times (there's that word again) some people have had to repeat the same cycle.
A similar idea was used in a movie called Edge of Tomorrow. It's a fairly recent production. I don't normally like sci-fi movies but I liked that one. I never watched Star Trek but given how much I enjoyed Star Wars maybe I should give it a go
I'm not too sure if the question about the number of times people have had to repeat the cycle has ever been asked, but it is an interesting one indeed. And I'm also curious about what happens to the previous cycle one a new one start. I guess this concept may be hard to fully grasp from the 3D perspective (or maybe it's just me ), I'm reminded of this exchange about the nature of the universe that the C's summarised with: "Your 3rd density mind restrictions limit the scope of your comprehension in this area.":
Q: (T) The universe you are in: you are going along and say, "I think I will create a new Universe." You do it, and move to it, and you bring your universe with you. That is the merging of realities. But, when you move to the new universe, you are no longer in the original one which continues along on its own. The pattern of the old universe, you bring into the new one, and when you become part of the new universe you have just created, you are no longer part of the old one you just left. It just goes along with everybody else there. (L) Is this correct?
A: Sort of... remember, one can create all ranges of types of alternate possibilities.
Q: (L) So you could create a new universe with a new "past," even?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So, in that way, both actually occur and you can change the whole thing?
A: When merged, the former never existed.
Q: (T) Not for the person creating the new universe, but the former will continue for everybody else.
A: Close.
Q: (L) So, for the person creating a new universe, the former never existed, but the other beings who are satisfied with that old universe, and "go" with it, are still continuing along as though...
A: Your 3rd density mind restrictions limit the scope of your comprehension in this area.
