The following is an excerpt from my book entitled “How Many Days Are In The Circle?”:

All physical experience is limited by time, space and the law of cause and effect. Ordinary consciousness and understanding do not surpass these limitations. Finite experience is defined in terms of past, present and future. These concepts of time are an illusion. They only serve a temporary purpose in the life of man (i.e. spirit-man) and will pass away. Spirit is not bound by time. The time of the present, being immeasurably minute and fleeting, can never be contained. Also, past and future are forever non-existent in the present time. The past is always a memory and the future is always a wish. Therefore, time as we know it, is an illusion. We currently live on the plane of things made manifest, which is the world of illusion. This is clearly explained in chapter I in the Holy Koran of the Moorish Science Temple of America, which states (in part):

“‘Time never was when man was not.’ If life of man at any time began, a time would come when it would end. ‘The thoughts of Allah cannot be circumscribed. No finite mind can comprehend things infinite. All finite things are subject unto change. All finite things will cease to be because there was a time when they were not.’ The bodies and the souls of men are finite things, and they will change, yea, from the finite point of view the time will come when they will be no more. ‘But man himself is not the body, nor the soul; he is a spirit and a part of Allah.’ Creative Fate gave to man, to spirit-man, a soul that he might function on the plane of soul; gave him a body of the flesh, that he might function on the plane of things made manifest.”

Time is finite and thus is circumscribed by a barrier. If you were to break the time barrier and travel faster than the speed of light (186,272 miles per second), then you could actually “meet up with yourself” at the same location you started from. This is the basis of time travel.
