GD Lounge # Reforged Shadowlands (Part 1)

“Sounds more like astral projection to me.”

Not sure what you mean by that, but nah. I lost the house car and bank account after living like 2 years AFTER time traveling, still living in that same house for that time, because the city shut our house down because my mom made too much of a mess and left junk everywhere because she was a hoarder and there were mice and stuff.

“Look it up.”

It wasn’t astral projection, I woke up in the same bed I went to sleep in, it was just 3 years prior.

“It could have been Astral Projection. You never know where, or when, it will take you to.”

“I have traveled into my Past, as well as my Future, through Astral Projection.”

What precisely difference are you making between astral projection and what I call time travel?

Oh, that’s interesting. Do you mean in a non-material body like a spiritual form? Or basically time travel actually in your usual body ?

“One is your Physical Body going back, the other is your Spirit going back. BIG difference. It is more likely that your Spirit went back in time.”

I don’t see the difference, honestly. My soul traveled back in time, it’s time travel. I didn’t see myself in the past or have two persons or anything, so I guess you could say my spirit (???) traveled back, although I don’t know what you are meaning by that.

“Yes, it is, but in a Spiritual form. Your Spirit goes back to a former time, and joins with the you of that time, but your Body stays here.”

Well, I haven’t woke up in my old house with my mother still living with me and my car in the garage, so I don’t think my body is still there, I’m here typing this at a group home in a different city now, if I could wake up in my old house with my mom and car and bank account would I? If it meant Doug died still? I don’t know, that would be morally bad I think.

“Just be careful of the ripple effect. You change too much back there, and you could erase your own existence.”

I don’t understand what you are talking about, but whatever. I am in the present right now, and am living a normal life now.

“When you travel back, and change things, you can break the future.”

I think this is a different timeline, basically, than the one I was in. Because of Doug being alive and me losing my house and car and not living with mom and stuff. Also Covid was not a thing that spread across the world in the other timeline, I remember reading about them finding it in the chinese strange-animal markets but they controlled the spread in that timeline and it never reached America or other countries or killed many people, which is kind of depressing to think about. Makes me wonder if I should pray to go back and see if the people don’t die to Covid. Selfishly, I don’t really want to live through 3 years of boredom again though. Plus, what if it’s even worse?

“If you don’t understand the dangers of creating a Paradox, you shouldn’t be messing with time, no matter WHAT timeline you go to.”

I don’t understand really what a Paradox is. I remember reading about them growing up, like, if I traveled back and was a separate person from the me of that time I could understand, or if I traveled back to before I was born and prevented myself from being born or something, but this was basically just waking up 3 years in the past. I agree that I will not mess with time anymore for fear of things being even worse.

“Look up the Butterfly Effect. The Theory, not the Movie.”

I don’t plan to time travel anymore, and CoVid spread throughout the world which was pretty terrible but I don’t know if I can be blamed for that I don’t think I really can although there is the butterfly effect and it is true that it did not spread in the timeline previous, it is unprovable that it spread as a result of my actions, it’s not like I went to China or did anything in particular to make it spread. I will pray tonight for the souls of the people that died to CoVid though.

It may be that this is simply a different timeline, and has different events occurring regardless of my traveling.

“And you could have, still, messed it up, just by going there.”

Do you think I’m responsible for the CoVid deaths? Because of the butterfly effect? I had a thought that during my imagine-creating the story of BFA that I did in the previous timeline I (the PC standin) talked to Bwonsamdi and said that I would give him a million souls or a hundred thousand or something as part of the storyline the PCs do in Nazmir at the shrine when they make a deal with him… at the time I was not aware that Bwonsamdi is an analogue or even another name of Lucifer… that could make me responsible I guess. I just prayed now for God and/or Jesus Christ to break any such deal.
