It seems to us that we live in the present. In fact, we live in the future and the past at the same time.

Prologue
This story may have started the same way as the story you are remembering now, or it may have started differently. It all depends on how and from what "angle" to look at your story. For example, when were you born? When you appeared in this world? But imagine if your soul was living… or maybe it already was. Waiting for you as flesh, as a body. Waiting to be allocated a body… or to be made a body. For once a body is made, all the diversity of the inner spiritual world fills it, from the totality of that which was created by clearly not the two, who created you. So when were you born anyway? Maybe when your parents decided to conceive a child? Or maybe when they met through the many labyrinths of fate? Or maybe when their parents did? Or when your distant ancestor escaped death? Or maybe we are all children of Adam and Eve? Or maybe of a god? Or maybe we were born when one of the humanoid primates began to think and decided to use that ability to become a leader (and most likely his idea was to create numerous copies of himself, that is, to capture females first)? Behind the banality and simplicity of such a desire hides the very mystery of life, its preservation, development into higher forms and transition into the incorporeal rulers of the universe. Or maybe our life began when life as such appeared? Or were we born when, already being in a body, we realized ourselves as a being, as a person? But it was obviously not at the moment of our birth… and certainly not at the moment of conception, although even in the womb we were already living people. So when? And what happened to those particles, from which, in the end, having made quadrillion-trillion-trillion combinations, a certain group of molecules closed the chain and began a series of copies, which we call life?
Now imagine a black hole. A so-called black hole… I mean, that term probably confuses us completely. There's probably no black hole.
For you, my dear reader, I will give explanations, many of which for your convenience I will cite from open sources, though I will try to explain more in simple everyday language. Otherwise how to understand such terms, necessary for our narration, as event horizon and quantum entanglement.
So, what is a black hole? Scientifically, it's kind of like this: a star dies and goes from one state to another. It kind of weakens, it can no longer push fuel from the inner part into the upper layers, and under their weight it starts to shrink. More precisely, the upper layers fall on the lower ones, and if this process stops at a certain stage, the star still shines, burns and lives for billions of years. Eventually it all burns up and falls even more towards the center. So there's no logic to it. That's something we're going to run into a lot – a logic that doesn't exist. There is no logic where it should be iron, i.e. firmly scientific.
If the black hole attracts everything to itself, as if swallows it, then the process must eventually lead to the fact that it must start the reverse process of restoration. So the question is: where is all that it attracted? Did she recycle it all and send it somewhere else, and unnoticed? That is why it is still a mystery of science, although there are already assumptions that it is some kind of a pipe that swallows from one side and throws out the recycled matter somewhere very far away, maybe in a parallel world. Parallel – in the sense that, perhaps, in the black hole electrons turn into protons, protons into antiprotons, and all substances, particles acquire "anti", i.e. opposite properties, so they are not visible for our senses and equipment, which we have created on the basis of "understanding".
Eventually it seems like the star is so compressed that it turns into a fantastic magnet that doesn't let anything out. It attracts everything and even sucks it in. Not even light can't escape from there, it's sucked in. So the boundary where it starts to happen, that is, the place where you can no longer escape from the attraction of the black hole, is called the event horizon. Even time is said to be different there. Speaking of time. How do you feel about its eternity? What about the eternity of space? And the eternity of matter? These are three important components of the world we live in. The world we can understand based on our senses. The world that these three-dimensional sensations "show" us. We can fantasize, compose, imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine, think about any other perceptions, dimensions, realities, but the reality for us will remain that which we can understand on the basis of our senses.
Okay, now a little more about eternity. Have you really visualized it yet? Have you imagined, for example, your life in a million years? What about a billion? How about a billion billion billion? Is it hard to imagine such a long life? It's quite realistic. But we'll talk about that later. For now, imagine that you still live at least a thousand years and are always flying somewhere. Not just like that, but without a body. Your thoughts are flying. In fact, you are your thoughts, your understanding of what you are, not your body. Imagine if you don't realize anything, but you have a body. Do you exist in that case? As a person, no. But if you don't have your body, but you still have the ability to think, then you will exist as your Self. So, if we imagine our world, our whole universe as a kind of computer world, where we all sleep or live in some kind of virtual reality, then in such a world we could fly to the Moon, for example, in a second. I mean as energetic beings, without a body, as an astral body of thoughts. If such a life – in the energetic or computer world – seems something improbable to you, then I will tell you: prove the opposite when you sleep. After all, everyone has dreamed dreams – as if all this were really happening. Imagine if you fell asleep and slept for the rest of your life. And now this, for example: to take and put all your vital signs into a certain matrix, formula, and then to calculate by all your moral and psychological data your worldview and on the basis of it to predict your deeds. For example, horoscope or fortune-telling is also based on this somehow. Thus it is possible to make your digital, computer image, that is, say, it is possible to make a character with your data for a computer game. Now if you imagine that god or aliens have already done this, then we are all in some kind of cosmic simulation. What I mean by that is that within that simulation, within the computer game, signals are traveling at the speed of light. This brings us back to what I've written about before – eternity. If you live for a billion years and fly at 300,000 kilometers per second, which is simply not only incredible, but also unimaginable, it would take you 14 lifetimes to fly to the edge of the universe. Even with those capabilities, you need to live 14 billion years. Can you imagine such a thing? Many people have even thought now: what to do all this time? Ha, really funny. Let me make it clear. If you still live that long and move that fast, after 14 billion years, you will still not be at the edge of the universe. Why not? Because we know the distance from where the farthest light supposedly "flew" to us at that speed. And as it traveled, everything changed.
Now, I'm going to make a digression. For example, you look up at the sky at night and you see stars. In fact, many of them may no longer be there. It's their light that's still traveling towards us. And they may have already gone out, that is, died. It is as if, for example, in ancient times one had to walk around the Earth on horseback or on foot for 14 years; if in the seventh year someone from the team died, then the news about it would reach home after 7 years.
So, our universe is actually supposed to be 93 billion light years in diameter. Now, understand this: those edges 14 billion light years away, even with a life of 14 billion years and at that speed, you still wouldn't reach those edges. After all, you only live some 14 billion years, and the universe has expanded during your flight. So let's live longer, like 28 billion years. Is that hard to imagine? Just imagine, you'd live for 28 billion years. It's a miracle. It's unimaginable. Now you probably know what I mean by now. Even with such great unimaginability, you can't reach the edge of the universe. The edge of our universe, because there are many others. Now imagine eternity. Imagine that the universe we've been talking about is just a grain of sand on a beach. A grain of sand among billions and trillions of others. Imagine that? Now imagine you've been alive for a hundred billion years. How cool is that? Now imagine you're traveling to the nearest star at the speed of light. Congratulations, it'll take you four years to get there. So that's at the speed of light, which, by the way, by all the laws of physics, material bodies can't reach. Not that it's technically difficult, no. With the capabilities that space technology has now – it will take us about 40,000 years to get there, and at the speed of light – only 4 years. You might be thinking: how fast, compared to traveling in a rocket. Now imagine, it takes you 4 years to go to a neighboring city. For domestic needs, and more, that's an awfully long time. Notice, it's at the speed of light, which a person can't fly. Not that flying is impossible, it's impossible to reach. Our bodies are material.
Now you have a better idea of the size of the universe. No? Then let's fly through at least our galaxy. In the meantime, I'll tell you in confidence that there are supposedly about 500 billion galaxies, and each galaxy has from 200 billion to a trillion stars. Can you imagine how many galaxies there are? Does it make you dizzy? Then imagine snowflakes in a blizzard. About that many if there's a blizzard all night and all over the region. And think of those grains of sand I mentioned above. In the meantime, we've got another 100,000 years to go through the galaxy. Don't forget, we're only talking about our own. They'd tell you to go to the capital and meet me there in 100,000 years. How cool is that? I think you're already euphoric. That's my way of trying to explain to you a tiny fraction of what's called eternity. You've been flying, flying, flying… billions and trillions of years, and you haven't actually moved. How? It's like this. Because no matter how big you visualize, you're still visualizing a tiny fraction of eternity.
Have you ever paid attention to a human embryo in the early stages of development? Does it really look like a fish? It is assumed that the embryo in the process of growth passes through all stages of living beings, from which in the process of evolution came, overcoming the evolutionary chain, man. Now imagine the eternity of space. For the eternity of space at some stage our universe is just a molecule. Have you imagined the magnitude of eternity I am talking about now? Now imagine this vast space in another part of infinity. In a vast infinity in which already this big unimaginable gigasuniverse becomes a molecule. Perhaps our universe, expanding at some stage, is "born", that is, it reaches a stage where life appears in it. Then it grows, ages and dies. And all these multiple universes are all part of some organism. Are you surprised? But infinity makes any huge quantity into a tiny little thing. By comparison, we have billions of living things inside our bodies… and they have no idea who we are. They are born, live and die without recognizing who they are living off of.
Now let's reset our imagination and try to visualize infinite time. Imagine those billions of years when the universe will expand, then contract, explode, and be reborn. Now imagine that you're the one making coffee every morning. One hundred billion years have passed. The next day, a new universe is born again, life appears somewhere. Civilization developed, the universe shrank, exploded. Another day goes by, and it's all over again. So there you go. Even that's not infinity. Infinity isn't the size of something. Not the passage of countless years and time itself, not the vast distances with no end in sight, not the realization that matter will never disappear, no matter how many times it transforms from one such species to another. No. Infinity is the understanding of something that has never arisen and will never disappear. Something that has never arisen and will never cease. It's hard for us to imagine. Our brains are used to working, to operating with concepts that have some kind of boundaries. Now that your brain has realized how small we are and how fleeting our lives are – let's get to our story. Here from it we will learn how it is possible to live so long and move so fast.
For now, however, we will remember the past. Namely, the story of a past life. The lives of characters from a series of parallel worlds, and not only from there. Let's remember how Rutra and his friend, a "luminary of science" named Parmenides, invented a method of quick human cloning and transferring consciousness from any human to a clone. Let us remember the properties of quantum-entangled pairs, undetermined by science so far, to find their pair and transfer to it with instantaneous speed the impact that was exerted on it. Let's remember how, using these marvelous paradoxes of science, they found and transferred to parallel worlds the consciousness of a real person.
