Another Look at Time: A Navigating Cosmos Special

 

Another Look at Time

A Navigating Cosmos Special

I woke up this morning to pictures of my friends graduating from law school. We finished our BSC together 2 years ago and they proceeded to law school and are now officially lawyers.
In my reality a lot has changed in the last 2 years. It reminds me of the saying, we overestimate what we can do in the short term  and underestimate what we can do in the long term, but not to stray from the meat of today's idea.

I couldn’t help but marvel once again at the concept called time, what looks like simple routines of waking up and sleeping, compounds into unfathomable changes. Just recently I was troubleshooting the idea of teleportation in my head, especially with the understanding of existing examples from the Creator's Manual like Philip's encounter with the traveling Ethiopian eunuch etc. Super imposing that with what could be a physics implication, i.e, being able to tear open a hole in the space-time continuum, and access a different location within the same time packets,  can’t wait for our generation to finally catch up with these discoveries.

Back to time, one of the advantages of being trapped in the same space for over two decades is the rare privilege of experiencing events as they flow through your space, seeing new people come and go, experiencing structural, physical changes, demographic changes, seeing young people become older, witnessing consequences of people's choices catch up with them, you suddenly are in a very good position to appreciate the value of choices compounded over time.

In reading through this blog I’m inviting you to take a breather, appreciate how you’re interacting with different events in time, with each tick of the clock what choices are you making, try to imagine how it compounds over time—what picture are you creating?", One of my mentors argue that life is very predictable, to the degree that you truly take charge of all the variables within your circle of influence. I say this often, a graph of your choices against time would give you a picture of your life, ceteris paribus.

In taking another look at time, I invite you to evaluate your core once again, who are you, why are you here, where are you going. A lot of people use the illustration of 'the stream of time.' This is apt in the sense that time is always flowing, whether you actively row your boat (not the rhyme) or you don’t, you’ll keep drifting,  keep waking up and sleeping doing what it is that your subconscious has been programmed to do.

In taking another look at time, I’m inviting you to debug or ultimately re-write your codes, what algorithms are you currently running or what is currently running your hardware?, are they written by you, to move you in your desired direction or you’re running the  main stream open source codes with no intentionality whatsoever.

In taking another look at time, I’m inviting you to review what events you allow to interact with you in time, events in time are grouped into three: people, places and opportunities. To the degree that you have control over, what events are you interacting with or allowing to interact with you in time.

Finally in taking another look at time, I’m inviting you to establish or re-establish a connection with He who is outside time, the creator of time Himself. He knows and sees the end from the beginning, solidified past, present and future, as well as all possible past, present and future. Even with the advent of AI and all it can and would possibly attain it is impossible to articulate all those variables and know with a 100% certainty all of reality, especially accounting for the fact that Man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body. The advantage has been and would always be, to be connected to the creator, then you can maximize and truly live out the best version of yourself in time. This I believe is really the key to Navigating Cosmos.

Discernment in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

  A meditation on what we risk losing in the very moment we gain everything There are moments in history that do not announce themselves. They do not arrive with trumpets or trembling earth. They slip in quietly, the way ink bleeds into water, until one morning you look up and realize that everything, all of it, is already colored by them. We are living inside such a moment now. Not merely an age of machines, an age where thought itself has been externalized. Where intelligence, once cultivated through years of solitude, failure, and the slow discipline of wrestling with hard things, now arrives obedient to the slightest prompt. Once upon a time, to think deeply was a practice. Now, to not think at all is a temptation. And so the most important question before us is not technological. It is far older, and it has stalked every civilization that ever mistook a tool for a truth. What becomes of a person when the labor of thinking is no longer required of them? I. The Gift That ...

Ordinary Lives Don’t Bleed: What an extraordinary life will require in 2026

Yesterday was disruptive in the best possible way. Not chaotic, not loud, just the kind of disruption that quietly rearranges you from the inside. In the middle of it all, one line kept echoing in my spirit, a line from the ruckus himself: Ordinary lives don’t bleed and that’s the point. ( Olakunle Soriyan 2025) It stayed with me longer than I expected, so today I am writing from there. There is something about a new year that shifts our psychology. A simple change in calendar nomenclature and suddenly hope feels lighter, courage feels closer, and possibility feels more accessible. We call it a reset. A chance to recalibrate, realign goals and plans, and frame the reality we desire for the next three hundred and sixty five days. Goals are written. Visions are cast. Intentions are declared. But what often goes unspoken is this. Most people plan for outcomes without planning for what those outcomes will demand of them. We focus on what we want to have while paying far less attention ...

Four Hands, One Truth: Why Luck Has Hands

Image
You know one of those reels you randomly stumble on while scrolling through Instagram ? I came across one discussing the idea of provision   how resources, opportunities, and survival often come into people’s lives. The speaker approached it from a religious framework, but I think the concept can speak to believers and non-believers alike. Because whether one sees Scripture as divine revelation, wisdom literature, or historical record, it still contains powerful case studies on human behavior, power, economics, survival, and opportunity. So let us borrow from those stories not merely as doctrine, but as historical narratives carrying enduring lessons. The speaker described four “hands” of provision: Man’s Hands God’s Hands Your Hands Your Enemies’ Hands And while the categories are interesting, I would argue they eventually collapse into one central truth: Your hands. 1. Man’s Hands Sometimes provision comes through other people. In the historical narrative of the Exo...
