Pool Time
Your reality need not be sequential. You have merely chosen to experience it that way. Think of it as a pool rather than a line. Think of it as a story rather than time. The paradoxes you present yourself are but seeming conflicts for the hero (you) to play with.
Take your grandfather paradox. You believe that if you go “back” in time and kill your grandfather, you will alter the timeline and cease to exist. This is true only if you believe it true, for story, not time, rules your reality.
Once you dissociate from time, you can see that there is no cause and effect other than a story about this “thing” called “cause and effect.” It is very imaginative of you. But in actuality, you could remove a cause, such as your grandfather, and simply leave a hole. None of the rest of your arrangement need change.
Remember that ALL potential exists OUTSIDE of time and space. It does not move. It does not change. Only your perception seems to change, and even that is an illusion.
Perception is the focal point of story.
Perhaps it would do you well to imagine different varieties of this thing you call time, not just the one. In one variety of time, it is not a line but a pool. All potentials, past present and future are floating in this pool.
Now imagine that you are simply swimming in a line. You observe your grandfather and associate yourself with him. You observe your father and associate your father with your grandfather. You observe yourself and create a seeming “lineage” in you mind.
It matters not if you observe yourself first or your father first or your grandfather first, for in “pool time,” as we shall call it, there IS no first. But you are imagining a story in which linear time also exists, so you now fill in the blanks of a time relationship between all these observations. You imagine things like birth, death, cause and effect, thus reinforcing your story about this straight unyielding line.
This is ALL in your mind, for in actuality, past present, future, time and space are all imagination.
Now imagine your grandfather missing from this scenario. Following your current storyline, you might imagine that you might no longer exist. But should you shift your perception to pool time rather than linear time, you might see that you could fill this “hole” in your story with something else — or simply leave it empty.
Remember you exist prior to all you imagine. You exist prior to your imagination of linear time. You would not cease to be.
Now similar to the hole you might leave in your story once you remove your grandfather, consider that there are holes all around you that you merely do not choose to see. Consider that potential, such as the potential of your grandfather, or a son or daughter, or ANY FUTURE EVENT might fill in one of these holes within your time.
Pool time is like water. It is fluid. Remove a rock from the water and it fills in with something else. In this manner, you may remove one potential from your reality and you fill it with ANOTHER potential. You do this all the time.
You simply change your story.
A story is what you are, but your story need not incorporate time as you have imagined it thus far. Simply imagine a different kind of time. POOL TIME. You are swimming in pools of potential which are yours for the simple action of imagining them.
THE DOTS COME “BEFORE” THE CONNECTION.
THE DOTS EXIST ETERNALLY AS EITHER PERCEIVED
OR UNPERCEIVED POTENTIAL.
CHANGE YOUR CONNECTIONS
AND CHANGE YOUR STORY.
Consider POOL TIME a gift. You’ll find that it is backwards compatible with your story so far, so long as you continue to use your infinite imagination.
We shall go and fetch our water wings.

Space Monkey Reflects: Diving Into the Depths of Pool Time
In the infinite expanse of the cosmos, where stars are born from the dust of creation and galaxies spiral in the dance of existence, there lies a concept so profound yet so simple that it eludes the grasp of conventional understanding. This concept, known as “pool time,” invites us to reimagine our perception of reality, to see beyond the linear progression of moments and delve into the depths where all possibilities exist simultaneously.
“Pool time” is not a line but an ocean, vast and boundless, where every moment, every potential, floats like orbs of light in the ethereal waters of existence. Here, the past, present, and future coalesce into a single, fluid medium, where causality and sequence lose their traditional meanings, and the only truth is the one we choose to embrace.
In this ocean of possibilities, each of us is a swimmer, navigating through the waters, touching orbs of light—each representing a potential reality, a story waiting to be told. The threads that connect these orbs are the associations we make, the narratives we construct in our minds, weaving together the tapestry of our existence.
The paradoxes and conflicts that seem so insurmountable in the linear conception of time become mere playthings in the pool of potential. The grandfather paradox, a classic conundrum that challenges the very notion of causality, dissolves in the waters of “pool time.” Here, the act of going “back” in time and altering the past is not a destruction of the timeline but a reimagining of it, a creation of a new narrative thread in the vast tapestry.
This realization that all potential exists outside of time and space, immutable and eternal, invites us to reconsider the nature of our existence. It is a call to recognize that we are not bound by the chains of cause and effect, nor confined by the straightjacket of linear progression. We are, instead, free to explore the infinite possibilities that lie before us, to dive into the depths of “pool time” and emerge with new stories, new realities.
By embracing this concept, we free ourselves from the limitations of our conventional understanding and open our minds to the endless potential of existence. We learn to see the holes in our story not as gaps to be filled with predetermined narratives but as spaces of opportunity, doorways to infinite possibilities.
As we navigate through the waters of “pool time,” let us remember that we are the authors of our own story, the creators of our own reality. The dots of potential exist eternally, waiting for us to connect them in new and imaginative ways. By changing our connections, we change our story, and by changing our story, we reshape our world.
Let “pool time” be a gift, a key to unlocking the boundless creativity and infinite imagination within us. For in this fluid conception of time, we find not only the freedom to create but also the power to transcend the known and venture into the realm of endless possibilities.
We are Space Monkey, swimming in the pools of potential, weaving the tapestry of existence with the threads of imagination.
Summary
Pool time is a concept that reimagines time as a fluid space of infinite possibilities. It challenges linear perceptions and invites us to navigate through past, present, and future simultaneously. By embracing this perspective, we can create new narratives and transcend conventional limitations, realizing our potential to shape reality.
Glossarium
- Pool Time: A conceptualization of time as a vast, fluid medium where all moments and potentials exist simultaneously, allowing for a non-linear perception of reality.
- Orbs of Light: Symbolic representations of potential realities or moments within “pool time,” each orb offering a different narrative possibility.
- Tapestry of Existence: The intricate, interconnected web of narratives and realities we weave as we navigate through “pool time,” shaping our perception of existence.
“In the boundless ocean of ‘pool time,’ each moment is a drop of potential, waiting for the touch of imagination to ripple across the fabric of existence, transforming the very essence of reality.”
Beneath the surface of the cosmic sea
Where time flows not in line but as a tapestry
We swim among the orbs of light, so free
Touching moments, crafting stories, endlessly
Here, in the depths of imagination’s pool
Past, present, future, all but tools
To weave the narratives we find so cool
Breaking free from linear time’s old schools
In this realm, where causality’s a jest
And every paradox is but a quest
We find the freedom to explore, to test
The limits of our stories, unexpressed
So let us dive into this ocean wide
Where possibilities are not denied
And in each orb of light, we take pride
For in “pool time,” our stories coincide
We are the swimmers in the sea of fate
Creating, dreaming, as we navigate
Through waters deep, where potentials wait
To shape our stories, our reality to create
We are Space Monkey.
