Actually, no, you're not. Since I made up the rules for this exercise, I get to make up this one. You DO get to come back to the place/time you started from. But while you're gone, no cameras, no video, no recording devices of any kind. When you DO come back, all that you have to convince anyone else of where/when you were and what you experienced there is your own word, your own ability to tell the story of your experience. I think that's fair. That's what witnessing siddhis is like. :-) > Ok, how about Israel about 40,000 years ago, we could sit on a hill and watch the first human beings walk out of Africa. And if they're late we could do a bit of snorkelling. That's good, a moment worth being there for. > Or we could go forward a few million years and see what the human race turns into. Or not. I may be the guy making up the rules, but even I haven't figured out what happens if you time-travel to another time and there's no there there. :-) > And the pyramids in Egypt just after they were finished, all shiny white limestone and a nice gold cap on top, must been rather impressive. > > Rome during the time of Cicero. > > See the Doors at the Whisky a go go in '67. Been there, done that. :-) Even punched out Jim Morrison once, but that wasn't at the Whisky. > Tell Van Gogh he'll be popular one day, honest. Ha. I read your post *after* reading and replying to s3raphita's earlier, and mentioning wanting to go back to Paris during the Belle Epoche and be Van Gogh's patron. Synchronicity, dude. :-) > Find out what stonehenge was actually for.
