Time Travel is not a recreational activity; it is a business empire
I am so sick of reading these time travel threads on here. If these people who wrote them understood what time travel is all about, they would never have wasted their time coming up with all this talk of saving the world.

Time travel always has been and continues to be a business empire. When someone finds a way to travel through time, their very first order of business has to be how to protect themselves.

When you show up in another time period, it is relatively easy to get spotted as not fitting in to the time period you arrive in and when you stand out like that, you are likely to get accosted almost immediately just out of suspicion.

Humans are highly suspicious of anyone who doesn't look just like them and when you travel from one time period to another, you never arrive looking the part; you always look like an outsider and throughout history, outsiders are mainly treated with incredible amounts of suspicion and often killed within a very short period of time because someone mistakes them for some kind of spy, enemy, infiltrator, etc. Especially with incorrect accents and or total differences in how the language is used, not to mention materials clothes are made of, styles of clothes and hair, etc.

In order to avoid all of this, it is necessary to have money and clothes stashed away in various time periods as well as a knowledge of how to speak in various dialects throughout history. One must know the laws of the land, what are the customs that could land a person in trouble quickly if they are unawares, etc.

Think of like being a billionaire in your time wherein you must have little apartments in several major cities you frequent so that when visiting, you aren't living in and out of hotels, drawing unnecessary attention to yourself when in town.

You have to have various different identities with different names and monies stashed away across time. It costs a LOT of money and money doesn't come cheap anywhere, so you have to be someone who can make a LOT of money and that is where time travel helps out a lot. We deal a lot in antiques.

Antiques and rarities fetch a hefty price in any time period, so the trick is to find out what is worth a lot in one time period, go back in time, fetch one, come forward in time, sell it, exchange the money for gold and stash your gold in different time periods you use as home bases.

I have several home bases and so do most time travelers. We all make our money in a similar fashion and therefore are wary of bumping into each other and can usually identify one another, so there is a huge impetus to try to blend in, not just so that you don't get seen as an outsider in a particular time period, but also so that other time travelers can't easily spot you, which they can, if you aren't careful.

For one thing, most time travelers carry tech from high tech periods of time and if you have a keen eye, you can spot a person wearing high tech on their person in a time period in which almost nobody else is doing so.

Even an analog wrist watch didn't exist a short time back and before that even a pocket watch didn't exist.

The "bluetooth" of your future can pick up any other "bluetooth" for quite a radius around one, so if there is anyone else who forgets to turn that off, you will instantly be able to locate them if you turn yours on. This is one way time travelers who wish to locate one another can quickly ascertain if one another are in their vicinity and time period.

Time travelers are in no way interested in messing with politics. For one thing, it messes with the timelines and changes history and nothing will piss off fellow time travelers more than another time traveler changing history because it threatens their very existence, not to mention their many safe houses stashed along timelines. For that reason, in any time we arrive, we check in to see if anyone else is being picked up in the area electronically/wirelessly in order to ensure that if we are using the same time period for a stashhouse, we don't wipe out each other's stash houses by altering the timeline.

Doing so would incur an instant time enemy and result in a time war between travelers and this can have a domino effect.

If I make enemies with another time traveler, I have to wipe out his existence before he is born so that he can't do the same. That means anyone he has met who is also a time traveler instantly never met him and that changes their timeline completely which means any agreements I have with other time travelers are null and void since their timeline changed and now I have no idea what their status is friend/foe with regard to me anymore. So, all timeline wars are to be avoided at all costs.

This means that when accumulating wealth, one must not do so at the expense of another time traveler.

You might wonder why old things are worth money (antiques). Time travelers pedaled this idea in the distant past in order to ensure it became a "thing" in order to give themselves a leg up financially as time travelers.

Re: Time Travel is not a recreational activity; it is a business empire
It is necessary for time travelers to blend in even though they might not be able to, so what one does is to use the money one makes to hire an assistant or secretary in various time periods to be their translator and pretend to be a foreigner speaking an unknown dialect and use your secretary as your personal assistant to speak for you while in that time period.

When one wishes to go to a time period they have already visited before, you must keep track of when you last left and arrive after that period by a set amount of time so that you don't leave your assistant hanging wondering what happened to you lest they leave your employ and not be available the next time you arrive.

Re: Time Travel is not a recreational activity; it is a business empire
Time traveling can get a bit messy at times for those in its trade and so, some of us have found a way to ensure that we are accountable to one another so as to avoid hostilities or accidents.

As such, we have created a business empire in which anyone who is part of the trade may participate in affairs of interest that are of common good. We elect for positions within this organization that spans the chronology and we meet once per annum in a set time period to discuss matters of importance.

At present, I am serving as director.
We have a treasurer.
A secretary.
A host of operatives dedicated to recruitment.
A host of operatives dedicated to policing up of time infractions and restoring time to its original agreed upon arrangement.
And we have a few technicians dedicated to keeping time travel safe and in working order.
And an assassin who works for the greater collective and is only utilized in the event that someone goes rogue and decides to go against the group or mess up the timeline without due regard.

Re: Time Travel is not a recreational activity; it is a business empire
Your time period is one of much strife for those who live within it. Your governments conspire against you and you must stay one step ahead of their propaganda to avoid falling into their traps and pitfalls.

Other time periods are also like this albeit not always on such a grand scale as worldwide; much more local to individual kingdoms and such, but conspiracy has been a thing for as long as there have been humans; it can not be snuffed out; many have tried to no avail; it is the human condition.

Those who see through their current time period's system of mind control and brain washing are the chosen few to avoid the conspiracies of their day and age but it has never been easy for any of you in any time period to date.

There has never been a utopia as such nor will there ever be since it is always humans and humans have always and will always be just as they are with one another; deceptive, greedy, arrogant and bossy.

So, even if you got your hands on time travel technology, you could never do anything to improve the level of freedom that exists.

There were a few who did try to accomplish just that. They were the actual founders of the United States and it only lasted for decades before the entire project was overtaken by greedy industrialists who wanted it all for themselves.

In order for those particular time travelers to accomplish the creation of the United States or as they called it... these united States of America, they had to pay an exorbitant amount of money to the local freemasons of the time period in exchange for their assistance; so the exisence of time travel was known about within the freemasons, but they were NOT the ones who used it. Those recorded as freemasons who were time travelers were not actually freemasons at all. They were admitted to freemasonry as part of their cover and that was part of what the pay offs were for.

As a result, the fact of time travel was known about and kept secret by the masons and once the masons were infiltrated by various wealthy industrialists, those industrialists (you term them the illuminati -- we just call them the descendants of kings going back millenia) took over the "United States" and tried to move it gradually away from being under the influence or direction of the original time travelers who designed it.

The original time travelers who designed it were not of the opinion that slavery was a good thing, but the times were such that slavery was something that no political influence could rid the culture of, so they made it part of the doctrine of the constitution that eventually it would be phased out of existence and the people of the day who did not like it let it pass as a compromise figuring their family's fortunes would be large enough by the time of the shift to ensure they had enough to keep their descendants rich forever as at a certain level of wealth, one can throw their lot in with the industrialists and grow capital within one of their organizations which were too powerful to ever be defeated.

So, time travelers have "tried" to create freedom, but eventually, the industrialist always find a way to move things back towards their own interests.

There are many, many of these industrialists and only a handful by comparison of time travelers. We are by no means an army. If too many of us existed, we would get in each other's way, so we aren't "Trying" to create more of us; but keep our numbers relatively controlled to avoid problems in the future.

And by future, I mean, after we die. Even though we can time travel, we are still subject to limited lifespans just like anyone else.

I would say that the industrial class at your present time holds several thousand heirs apparent whereas the time travelers are in the tens. (Less than a hundred for sure) I won't be specific, but not enough to make a dent in the affairs of the industrialists. We have tried and even after much effort, all becomes useless after a few decades; they always end up subverting anything we have tried to do.

It really always has been up to the masses to stand up for their rights and so often, they don't have the stamina or will power to do so.

I am here telling you all this so that you don't throw your hopes away on a savior. There is none coming. You must consider yourselves fortunate that you are ahead of your time and awake enough to see the lies given to you by these industrialists.

That may be the best you can do; to recognize the lies and liberate your own selves without worrying about everyone else. If they have eyes to see, they will surely see without your help. And if they do not, no amount of tales will sway their resolve to see the world as they do.

I am sorry to reveal such dark histories to you but the world is a dark place and you must make your own light within it as all who have come before you and will come after you have done and will have to do as well.

I am only visiting this time period right now because there is one of you who is right now at this moment tinkering in your labs trying to create the ability to travel through time and when he does, I must be here to make note of it and report it back to the assembly so that one of our recruiters can pay this person a visit once they have succeeded. We do not interfere in their development as if they fail, then it was destined to be so, but if they succeed, it is a moment that we must not miss lest an industrialist get to them first and then we would have a real problem on our hands.

To you who are reading this and working in your labs, when you have completed your test and are successful, please just respond to this thread and let me know it is so and we can set up a meet if you are interested.

Good Day,

Hello,

How cool was it to spot dinosaurus ?

--- Dinosaurs are not cool; they will eat you or trample you.

Did you talked to Jesus ?

---There is no evidence of this man during this time period that matches the stories that exist today. There is a Saint Issi that studied with the yogis and returned to the middle east to spread their teachings and it appears that the myth of Jesus was built upon the existence of this man, but much of the rest of the story was fabricated by the church in order to enslave people under the government that controlled the church.

Did you entered citys under antarctica ?

--Antarctica was not always at the pole. It was at the equator long ago. The civilization was not underground at that time but it is now covered up with ice and other material which built up on it over millenia.

Was there something under sphynx ?
---The sphynx is a statue of genetic hybridization. It is a recognizable symbol to anyone who tinkers in genetics that those who built the sphinx had genetic knowledge of hybridization of different species. Humans have been hybridized from different species but the process of their creation involved making many weird looking creatures while perfecting their abilities in genetic engineering. So, building a large sphynx that would withstand the weathers of time is a way of pointing future generations of genetic engineers on to a path to discover the past hybridization of the species -- it is like an affirmation of experiments that were done in humanity's past to humanity's future genetic engineers that this type of thing has happened before.

If i coul time travel, i woul just do it to walk at different time period, and visit different countrys.
----You would need a sturdy ship to sail across oceans to visit many countries as planes were not around in many time periods.

And just keep enough local money or way to exchange things to be able to continue my treck ^^
-----You would be surprised how much wealth it would take to keep yourself out of harm's way in many time periods; there are many thieves and dangerous criminals lurking about in history waiting to prey on anyone who looks out of place or easy pickins.

what time period did you like the most ?
---I try not to get attached to time periods. My goal is to remain unattached or I would stop time traveling and get stuck in time somewhere.

Did you explore other planets ?
--I do not have the technology to leave the planet.

Is there space company to visit far galaxy ?
--I do not know anyone who can give me evidence of living in another galaxy. Do I believe there is life in other galaxies. Absolutely. Any planet with water in liquid form is bound to have loads of life and water is prevalent on any planet with a handful of elements that cause water to be created.

if you went to our current time period.

Can you explain to us what is gonna happening next ?
---What will happen next is that both Putin and Biden will be either removed from office or die in office. I will not be more specific than that.

Too many things i would hear from time travelers .
---Some is manufactured, but happens to have some truth to it.

Re: Time Travel is not a recreational activity; it is a business empire
With regard to the future in your time period, there is the possibility of an economic downturn and an equal probability of an effort to stave it off by eliminating the income tax in your time period, but your current president has said that he would veto that very bill, so if there is not enough support in your congress to overturn a veto and there is enough support to eliminate the income tax in favor of a consumption tax, then depending on who supports this change could lead to either the premature death or removal of your current president with any particular reasons used to accomplish this. I won't be more specific because actually giving the answer that I am aware of could impact the decision of those who make these decisions and interfere and change the timeline, so it is important for me to be a little bit vague.

There are those in powerful positions who are very interested in temporal anomalies and would try to draw us out and try to capture us to get our technology by purposefully changing the timeline if they know how it is supposed to look and so if I said, for instance that Biden would die by stroke or be removed for legal or medical reasons, the powers that be might attempt to change the reasoning to something else in the hopes that we might try to alter the timeline back to normal and come into your present to do so and that would be setting a trap for us.

If we let them get a hold of one piece of time travel technology, they would attempt to wipe us out of existence so that they would have the only piece of time travel technology, so we safeguard it from getting into their hands. They have far too much power already. With this power in addition, they would be even worse to degrees I can't even fathom.

They had time travel technology a very, very, very long time ago and they suffered a serious setback and no longer have it; thank heavens.

It is complicated, but we can't just go wiping them out ourselves. It would cause a chain reaction through time that would create a paradox that makes it impossible as there are things that happen in the future that affect the distant past and some things, if they don't happen in the future won't make things better in the distant past and would result in things being even worse. I can say no more about this.

We accept that a certain percentage of humans may or will or have invented at one time or another various different versions of time travel technologies and that is unavoidable and so we attempt to recruit those who do so that we can control those who do to the extent that they do not cause major time disruptions or problems that result in catastrophe.

I will say that you won't stumble onto time travel technology by accident.

You, if you were to discover it, which is not highly likely, but does happen sometimes, would most likely be making time travel an obsession to the point that you would experiment for decades trying to tinker around with a host of dangerous and curious portions of scientific technologies before stumbling on it randomly. It takes a concerted effort to come about and quite a lot of self taught science since nobody is teaching this stuff at your local University.

I am not from a time period which engages in short diatribes. It is not how I am accustomed to writing. Curtness is considered rude and barbaric where/when I was raised.

If your eyes hurt, I suggest you read by candlelight or turn your screen down to night (orange) tint and lower the brightness. Take breaks on occasion and/or notes if you find reading loathsome or tiring. Not all enjoy the written word as fondly as some, but it is the medium we can share this with.

Others prefer music and make melodic symphonies while some listeners find too many notes caustic to the ears.

I believe there is a film in your time about Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart wherein the King tells him that he writes music with too many notes.

Mozart is known throughout time for being one of the all time best musical composers ever, but not all minds can receive genius without taxing their limited processing power.

Such is the varied taste on the spectrum of ability versus inability in all subjects of human endeavor amongst its practitioners.

Also, as far as healing modalities, the yogis seem to have uncovered much in this arena.

Your somatic experience therapists in this era are also proficient.

In my day, one received some form of body work to release tensions in the muscles that store trauma insofar as healing modalities are concerned.

In other periods of time, it was referred to as the laying on of hands. Some cultures use shiatsu, for example. There are many modalities.

There are entire cults devoted to the study of mushrooms which were dedicated to healing throughout time.
