Lost Massachusetts

On Sunday November 2nd you have been directed by the national institute of technology and standards to wake up at 2 AM and turn your clock back one hour to one am. You have now entered a paradox because again at 2 AM you have to turn the clock back to 1 AM. And then again, and again, and again. You are stuck. After 24 repetitions the rest of the world has moved forward into Monday. If you manage to escape the paradox you will be one day older than everyone else, but you have also completely skipped an entire day. Another paradox. Do not attempt this experiment if you are not prepared for the consequences.You are already a time traveler. There is no choice in this matter, only understanding and application. Consider that the mind needs microseconds to process information. This means any event we perceive as being current already occurred. You are in effect, in the future observing past events like watching it on a tape. This is a persistent fact, but think about much larger examples. Light moves the fastest but is slow in the vast expanse of space. Light, and matter itself, is bent by extreme gravity conditions. Distant objects we view in space are information that is hundreds, thousands, millions or years out of date. You are looking into the past when you look into the sky. Because of the curvature of space, these views can loop. We may be looking at previous versions of our galaxy, of our planet. With the correct perspective, we could look at previous versions of ourselves. This also means future versions of ourselves could be looking at us. These are only two examples of the constant overlap of time across our existence. Cracks in the time continuum are all around us. The keys you lost that appear where you put them. The stranger who passes you on the street twice in the same direction. People you are certain you have met before but cannot remember where. Any moment now, the phone will ring and you already know who it is.Don't worry. We are here to help. This situation can be used to your advantage. Pay attention to these details. You may occasionally experience what is known as Street Light Interference Phenomena (SLIP). While walking or driving under a street light it sudden turns on (or off). Possibly it flickers as you get closer. Maybe there is a lamp post that is on or off when all the others are normal. This is not a malfunction or a coincidence. This is an indication of a disturbance in the timeline that is directed at you. You will be able to access a temporal gateway by standing under or near this street light. Be patient, be observant. As you allow yourself to pass through this temporary passage the reality around you will shift, but it is difficult to detect because much of the details will remain the same. Only small items, objects, colors, etc. will seem to change. You have entered a different time branch. The previous time path is inaccessible to you. It still exists, but there is no way to return. There will be other SLIP-indicated openings, but the odds of returning to the same timeline are one in forty-two-septillion. Good luck. No refunds. Prizes only valid if present. Must have ticket with legible number. Photos and contact: https://www.instagram.com/lostmassachusetts/Sources, links, blog, etc.: https://lostmassachusetts.com/a-lost-place
