Is Teleportation Possible?

Teleportation is a staple of science fiction, but can it actually happen? Can we tap into some phenomenon in nature that will allow us to teleport at will?

We already have television, we can see through space and time. But what about teleportation, can we move through space and time?

Teleportation appears to be mentioned in The Bible and The Quran. For example:
  1. Philip was teleported after he baptized the Ethiopian  (Acts 8:26-40, NIV)
  2. Jesus appeared to his disciples, excluding Thomas (John 20:19-20, NIV)
  3. Jesus appeared to his disciples, including Thomas (John 20:26-27, NIV)
  4. The Prophet Muhammad teleported from one mosque to another (Quran 17:1, Sahih)
I think I've experienced some teleportation phenomenon myself:
  1. On a flight back from Israel, what should have been a 9 hour flight, felt like a 3 hour flight. We moved through space and time.
  2. On a ferry ride one day, a ride that should have lasted over an hour, felt like only half an hour. Again, we moved through space and time.
  3. I was at an event one time and when I got there, there were only a few people. Just before the event started, about 100 people showed up. Where did they all come from? Did they all teleport there? Materialize out of thin air? Sometimes it seems as though everyone around me is teleporting, I'm the only one who isn't. This makes me feel left out.
And then, there's time itself:
  1. Sometimes it feels as though time slows down. You check the clock and it's 3:30pm, and what feels like an hour later, you check it again and it's only 3:31pm.
  2. Sometimes it feels as though time speeds up. You check the clock and it's 3:30pm, and what feels like 5 minute later, you check it again and it's 5:00pm.
Is there something we're missing? Some phenomenon just outside our grasp? An understanding of space and time known only to Time Lord  Doctor Who? How can we be a part of this action?

Understanding Time

When the past, present and future and interconnected as one, what tense should I use?

For example, when Jesus said (past tense) that we should love one another [1] (present tense) He means (present tense) that we will unite (future tense) as one family.

That our internal qualities will change (future tense) from selfishness to bestowal and we will connect (future tense) with each other in mutual concern and responsibility.

From a spiritual point of view, time is connected to our internal qualities:
  1. The Past - represents desires that have been converted from selfishness to bestowal. They're desires that are already in bestowal.
  2. The Present - represents desires that are currently being converted from selfishness to bestowal.
  3. The Future - represents desires that have yet to be converted from selfishness to bestowal. They're desires that are still in selfishness.
When all desires are converted from selfishness to bestowal, time will disappear because the past, present and future will unite as one. What will remain is a sense of eternality, the eternal I AM [2].

In addition, events that happened in the past, are happing now and will happen in the future. A sort of fractal of events in time.

As it is written, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8, NIV)
