I don't think that I can explain it any better than what I have already posted.
Is time travel possible? Some people think so. I do not believe that flesh and bone can move through time, but I am pretty sure that the thoughts of a person's spirit can travel forward, backward and through present space. It is why writing about thoughts and understanding a language you do not know is significant. (The speaking in tongues). I think that people have broadcast truth by their spirit into time.
I have experienced sharing thoughts with people I know. Were you just thinking that? So was I!

I trust that I have experienced it. Might I be mistaken? Yes.

John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
This verse means that we get eternal life from knowing the only true God and knowing Jesus Christ, who God has sent. We know God by knowing Jesus who brought the gift of the Holy Spirit from which we get eternal life.
“You question about eternal life and the entrance into the Kingdom. The outer expression used for the Kingdom is heaven; but this is a comparison and similitude, not a reality or fact, for the Kingdom is not a material place; it is sanctified from time and place. It is a spiritual world, a divine world, and the center of the Sovereignty of God; it is freed from body and that which is corporeal, and it is purified and sanctified from the imaginations of the human world. To be limited to place is a property of bodies and not of spirits. Place and time surround the body, not the mind and spirit…. .
For life is of two kinds: that of the body and that of the spirit. The life of the body is material life, but the life of the spirit expresses the existence of the Kingdom, which consists in receiving the Spirit of God and becoming vivified by the breath of the Holy Spirit. Although the material life has existence, it is pure nonexistence and absolute death for the holy saints….
The meaning of eternal life is the gift of the Holy Spirit, as the flower receives the gift of the season, the air, and the breezes of spring. Consider: this flower had life in the beginning like the life of the mineral; but by the coming of the season of spring, of the bounty of the clouds of the springtime, and of the heat of the glowing sun, it attained to another life of the utmost freshness, delicacy and fragrance. The first life of the flower, in comparison to the second life, is death.
The meaning is that the life of the Kingdom is the life of the spirit, the eternal life, and that it is purified from place, like the spirit of man which has no place…..
Entrance into the Kingdom is through the love of God, through detachment, through holiness and chastity, through truthfulness, purity, steadfastness, faithfulness and the sacrifice of life.
These explanations show that man is immortal and lives eternally. For those who believe in God, who have love of God, and faith, life is excellent—that is, it is eternal; but to those souls who are veiled from God, although they have life, it is dark, and in comparison with the life of believers it is nonexistence.”

Is the Bible about God's promise to keep our `spirits`,
or move our `spirits` into the Cosmos, no promises made ?
"I think that right now a person can think in terms of no time". (savage)
It's the `now` that passes us up, before we know that's another `new now` coming !
There's never any `no time`
(apologetics) said it best:"time shall be no longer", there's never a `now`
I wish our `spirits` well in their travels to the waiting Cosmos.

If spirits go into the Cosmos anyway why would someone think to write about it?
I think that the past and the future is able to help me to be the best I can be in the now.
I believe in working God's will be done. So, there has to be a now for that.
Oh, yes! A person has to be fast. Doesn't she?
God is everywhere and now doesn't exist means that God isn't everywhere.
Do you want to define 'now' for us?
Now is not a definitive concept. It is always a part of then or later (in mind).
I do what I do right now because of my past and I do it for my future.
Right then, I decided to post. While I am posting there are many right nows.
