In a discovery that could rewrite our understanding of reality, quantum physicists have revealed that time may not move forward as we experience it—but instead folds onto itself, creating an endless loop of overlapping moments. This theory challenges everything we think we know about past, present, and future.

According to recent quantum models, particles don’t experience time linearly. Instead, they exist in a superposition of timelines, where multiple versions of reality can occur at once and even influence one another. To the human brain, that feels like time moving forward but in truth, the universe may be rewriting and replaying itself constantly.

Researchers describe it like a cosmic origami moments folding, bending, and touching across dimensions. Events from the “future” could subtly affect the “past,” suggesting that time might not be a river, but a vast ocean, where every ripple exists simultaneously.

If this holds true, it means the universe doesn’t flow it resonates. Memory, destiny, and coincidence could all be reflections of the same timeless pattern.

Though still theoretical, the implications stretch beyond physics into consciousness, existence, and what it means to live within time.

Perhaps we never move through time at all.
Perhaps time moves through us.

What our emotions can reveal

Confessions of the Ego: A Truth We All Need to Hear

Sometimes the ego speaks louder than our heart. It hides behind behaviors we often justify — but every action has a deeper truth behind it. These are the confessions the ego hopes we never discover:

✅ Hatred
It isn’t about the other person — it is a mirror reflecting wounds within us. Hatred shows where we have not healed, where we reject parts of ourselves.

✅ Disrespect
Often born from fear. When the ego feels threatened, it disguises insecurity by looking down on others.

✅ Jealousy
A silent admission of admiration. The ego simply can’t accept that someone else has something we desire or strive for.

✅ Sabotage
When we feel unworthy, the ego convinces us to destroy opportunities before they expose our insecurity.

✅ Withheld Recognition
When someone shines too brightly, the ego fears their power. It denies acknowledgment to protect its own fragile identity.

✅ Mockery
A powerless attempt to dim someone else’s light. Laughing at another’s strength doesn’t make the ego stronger — only smaller.

✅ Imitation
The ego steals what it cannot create. Copying becomes its substitute for originality.

✅ Obsession
A sign of unspoken reverence. When the ego can’t understand someone’s greatness, it fixates on them.

✅ Gossip
The ego’s attempt to eject discomfort from within by projecting it onto others. It speaks what the heart refuses to feel.

✅ Silence
Not peace — but resentment. The ego stays quiet when words would expose its vulnerability.

✅ Criticism
At its core, a confession of inadequacy. We criticize what reminds us of our own limits.

✅ Exclusion
The ego tries to erase what it cannot compete with. Distance becomes a way to avoid comparison.

✅ Dismissal
Saying “you're not important” is just the ego unable to meet someone’s depth or significance.

✅ Competition
Not ambition — insecurity. The ego races only when it believes someone else threatens its worth.

✅ Bitterness
A quiet grief for what could have been. It is the ego mourning unrealised potential.

✅ Smirks
A mask hiding silent admiration. The ego pretends not to care when it truly does.

✅ Resistance
The ego cannot handle self-awareness. When confronted with truth, it pushes back — avoiding the mirror someone else may hold up.

🌟 Understanding these confessions isn’t about shame — but freedom.
When we recognize the ego’s hidden language, we gain the power to rise above it and choose love, growth, and authenticity instead.

✨ The greatest victory is not defeating others…
but defeating the ego within ourselves.

How do you know if you've been hypnotised?

🤔 It’s a common question: “How do I know if I’ve really been hypnotized?”

The truth is, hypnosis is a natural state that most people drift in and out of every day - sometimes without even realising it! Let’s clear up some of the mystery and help you recognise the signs.

How to Know You’ve Been Hypnotized....

1. A Shift in Focus or Awareness
Hypnosis often feels like being deeply absorbed in a daydream or a good book. You might notice your attention turning inward, with the outside world fading into the background. Sometimes, your sense of time changes - you may feel like only a few minutes have passed, when it’s actually been much longer.

2. Physical Signs
People in hypnosis often show subtle physical signs: glassy or fixed eyes, slower blinking, or even rapid eye movement (REM) under closed eyelids. You might feel your body becoming heavy, light, or pleasantly relaxed, almost as if you’re floating or sinking into the chair.

3. Vivid Imagination and Inner Experience
In hypnosis, your imagination becomes more vivid. You might see images, recall memories, or experience sensations as if they’re real - even though you know you’re safe and relaxed. Sometimes, you may forget parts of what was said, just like forgetting a dream.

4. Automatic Responses
You may notice your hand or arm moving “by itself” (a phenomenon called catalepsy), or you might respond to suggestions without consciously trying. For example, you might feel warmth when asked to imagine the sun, or calm when guided to recall a peaceful place.

5. A Sense of Detachment or Dreaminess
Many people describe hypnosis as feeling “dreamlike” or “not quite here.” You might feel detached from your usual worries, or as if you’re watching yourself from a distance. This is a sign your mind is in a receptive, learning state.

and....

6. You May Not Notice Anything Dramatic
Sometimes, hypnosis feels very ordinary - just a deep sense of relaxation or focus. You don’t have to feel “out of it” or unconscious. In fact, you might be more aware of your thoughts and feelings than usual.

Remember, hypnosis is a continuum. Some people experience dramatic effects, while others notice only subtle changes. Both are perfectly normal! The real test is whether you notice positive changes afterward - like feeling calmer, more confident, or less bothered by old fears.

If you’re curious, try to notice these signs next time you listen to a hypnosis session or work with a hypnotherapist. You might be surprised at how natural and familiar the experience feels.
