Explorations of abstract universal phenomena such as Emanational Cosmology quickly lead us into considerations of the fundamental “container” or “ground” of the reality itself, the nature of space and time and their relationship to each other.
From here it is not a far leap before we find ourselves inveigled within Einstein’s principles of Relativity, both Special and General. General Relativity addresses the structure of spacetime and its relationship to gravity, while Special Relativity address the relationship of time from the perspective of different observers at different perspectives moving at different relative speeds.
Just as spacetime is the primary component of all physical reality, in the markets, Price/Time similarly defines the container for the reality of all market action, so that Price/Time and Space/Time are actually the same, since the exact same mathematical laws control all energetic formations within both realms. And since space/time is multidimensional, likewise must pricetime be similarly multidimensional, since the laws of the universe must remain constant across all fields.
The multidimensionality of market space is a concept that was first presented by Dr. Jerome Baumring in his interpretation of Gann’s theory of the Law of Vibration.
There is, however, another step in this consideration of time that quickly becomes even more mind-bending, yet begins to lay the groundwork for why it may be possible to predict the markets. This concept is the multidimensionality of time. Such ideas are not uncommon within the realms of modern physics and mathematics. In fact, even Einstein affirmed that his Theory of Relativity did not in any way imply a single direction of time, and that time could just as realistically run backwards as forwards in his system. The mere possibility of time being able to run backwards brings an entirely new consideration to the nature of the subject.
Just as there are three dimensions of space in our natural perception, it is equally possible that there may be three dimensions of time, or even more dimensions of both space and time for that matter, as many systems of cosmology posit, with the five most popular Superstring theories requiring 10 dimensions to exist.
The possibility of multidimensionality of time in which it would be possible to move in any direction within this simultaneous reality, just as in space we can choose to move in any direction is a valid and regular consideration in the realm of theoretical physics. Many theories of physics posit the idea of time travel through hyperdimensional wormholes and the like.
It is also proposed in systems of physics, mathematics and philosophy that there may actually exist a simultaneity of time. This would be characterized as some sort of singularity point in which the multiple dimensions of time collapse into a single dimension in which all time exists in a single point or instant, simultaneously occurring without requiring a liner scale to play itself out.
This would mean that all things that have ever happened and ever will happen are already existent within this simultaneous dimension. It is only our limited consciousness or capacity due to our existence upon this particular plane that provides us with a linear perception of time, rather than an instantaneous perception of it.
Mozart actually claimed that he heard his music in his head in this simultaneous fashion, a symphony occurring in one instant, and that his most difficult task was to translate that momentary perception into a linear time scale in order to write it down and play it. It is beyond any of our normal human capabilities to deny without question that this may be a possibility, for we are simply creatures that experience the linear flow of time as the nature of our own personal reality. Though this in no way implies that our perception is necessarily the absolute state of ALL reality, but may perhaps be just a limitation of our perception or even our mental capacity.
It is said that we only use 10% of our brain capacity. What if the simultaneous perception such as Mozart was capable of achieving were the result of his using a higher capacity of his mind, or a different element of his brain, which is simply currently inaccessible to the common man?
Other ‘idiot’ savants are similarly capable of accomplishing seemingly impossible mental functions and feats due to some strange wiring of their brains. The idea that our experience of reality is a limitation of our awareness or brain function, is nothing new to science. And the possibility that such capacities could be significantly expanded or improved upon is a common pursuit in both scientific and metaphysical circles which focus upon the development of human potential and consciousness. In fact the esoteric tradition was focused upon the development of such potentials 1000’s of years before modern science was even born.
If such concepts as the simultaneity of time were a reality, it would explain many common phenomena that are currently a mystery to our normal consciousness. The numerous examples of prophecy, psychic perception or intuition of the future, a foreboding that tells someone not to get on a plane, the sense of Déjà vu, dreams that see future events, and many other mysterious phenomena would all be explained by this single principle. And the possibility that financial markets are forecastable would fall squarely into this same category.
This immediately brings up serious philosophical questions about the nature of free will and determinism, because if time were simultaneous, then that would imply that the future is already written, hence predetermined, and that our sense of free will is an illusion. It also implies that there may be a predetermined and inevitable direction that everything is moving or drawn towards. Along with that idea, comes the possibility that there may even be an underlying teleological purpose behind the universe that these laws of order are intentionally “ordering” according to some kind of predetermined plan, or mathematical schematic inherent within the structure of “The Field”.
Ideas like this are simply too abstract and far-out for most people even to begin to ponder, which is why the theory of the predictability of the financial markets is so quickly dismissed by the common man as rubbish. However, similar ideas are posited all the time by the most brilliant minds in physics, mathematics, philosophy, mysticism and esoteric tradition. Indeed the possibility that time is simultaneous has probably been most thoroughly considered by men of science, and even more extreme ideas are theorized by them all the time. An example of such would be that of parallel or multiple universes, wherein every possibilities could potentially happen, and that with every decision that is ever made by every person, another bifurcation of reality happens creating two parallel universes that simultaneously play out both possibilities, and on and on and on…
This concept becomes so hyper-complex so quickly as to be almost inconceivable, and even scientists and the most abstract thinkers become quickly lost in the possibilities. Other advanced cosmological theories like Membrane Theory (M Theory), claim to provide a solution that incorporates all five of the most popular Superstring Theories in an 11 dimensional system, where our entire universe may be nothing but one tiny membrane or bubble amidst an infinite number of such bubbles floating in an infinite cosmic sea. They theorize that when one bubble collides with another, an entirely new universe is created through each such collision.
These are some of the most current theories of our modern PHYSICISTS, not esotericists or metaphysicians, though much similarity can be found between such fields when they push out to their furthest considerations. The well-known physicist, Fritjof Capra wrote his now famous book The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism in 1975, being one of the first to explore the relationships between modern theoretical physics and Eastern mysticism. He relates the following of his discussions with Werner Heisenberg, one of the fathers of Quantum Mechanics:
“I had several discussions with Heisenberg. I lived in England then [circa 1972], and I visited him several times in Munich and showed him the whole manuscript chapter by chapter. He was very interested and very open, and he told me something that I think is not known publicly because he never published it. He said that he was well aware of these parallels. While he was working on quantum theory he went to India to lecture and was a guest of Tagore. He talked a lot with Tagore about Indian philosophy. Heisenberg told me that these talks had helped him a lot with his work in physics, because they showed him that all these new ideas in quantum physics were in fact not all that crazy. He realized there was, in fact, a whole culture that subscribed to very similar ideas. Heisenberg said that this was a great help for him. Niels Bohr had a similar experience when he went to China.”

So when considering the science of Cosmological Economics or the Law of Vibration, the dogmatic scientist or militant materialist would do well to suspend judgment and remember the deep roots within both the modern scientific and age-old historical traditions which point to the very real possibility of the existence of such an interconnective science.
While all of these abstract ideas may seem well beyond the mental capacity of most normal humans of today, the science of 500 years from now will, without question, have solved many of these problems and have created advanced technologies based upon them. So it is, theoretically, highly probable that the prediction of markets, in fact the forecasting and prediction of all things in reality, is actually quite possible, just as Nostradamus predicted wars, political events, tyrants and happenings 500 years ahead of his living time. From this position, the idea of the prediction of financial market movement is not nearly as far out as it may seem.
And for those who find the abstraction of these concepts to be way too much for them and seek grounding in something tangible, we refer you to our section on Practical Applications, wherein the theoretical musings are put aside in place of practical techniques for both forecasting and trading the markets using elements of these theoretical foundations.
