Time Travel, Déjà Vu and Disclosure: What Science Fiction Has Been Trying to Tell Us

Time Travel, Déjà Vu and Disclosure
What Science Fiction Has Been Trying to Tell Us

Rev. Kat Carroll

From the dusty reels of old Star Trek episodes to today’s streaming thrillers, time travel has remained a persistent fixture of science fiction. But what if it’s more than fiction? What if these stories are breadcrumbs? Clues seeded into pop-culture to prepare us for truths long hidden or remembered only as myth?

Let’s look through the temporal lens, not just as curious spectators of sci-fi fantasy, but as players in a much larger game—perhaps even a timeline war.

Time Travel:
A Persistent Pulse in Popular Culture

H.G. Wells’ book, The Time Machine (1895), may be one of the earliest stories of time travel and his work persists in screen plays in this century.  The TV series Time Tunnel was released in 1966, the same year Star Trek (the original series) first aired. The original ST series generated five time-travel episodes in its 3 years (back when we only had 3 channels, ABC, CBS, and NBC).

One of my favorite if not emotionally charged episodes on time travel was City on the Edge of Forever (written by Harlan Ellison), where Kirk falls in love with a woman that dies in history, but is saved by Dr. McCoy when he accidentally comes through a time portal. Later they learn that history cannot, or should not, be changed, and Kirk must allow his love interest, Edith Keeler, to die to maintain the timeline.

In the final episode of the second season, Assignment Earth, the crew of the Enterprise accidentally slips into Earth’s past but discovers how to sling shot around the sun to go back to their time. In that episode, they run into a Temporal Agent named Gary Seven and a potential spin-off was considered but never manifested as part of the series.

That episode hinted at the policing and protection of time themes which would arrive in new series such as Quantum Leap, Travelers, Timeless, Continuum, and Outlander.

For trivia fans – Higgypop.com mentions that time travel is featured in over 50 episodes of the Star Trek series, it’s spinoffs, and in four of the movies!

I would be remiss If I din’t mention Doctor Who, a man from Gallifrey gallivanting through time and space in his blue box, the TARDIS (acronym for “Time and Relative Dimension(s) In Space”). He developed companionships with certain people to travel with him to visit the past, the future, and to the end of time itself.

Why all the fascination with Time Travel if it’s only fiction…. Or is it?

Where Fiction Meets Science

Have you ever had that nagging feeling that something shouldn’t be the way it is, that something has changed? There may be an explanation for that.

Research on something called Temporal Cloaking was first demonstrated in 2012 after development by Cornell University.  Time lenses to alter the speed of different colors of light are used to create a gap where an event can occur without detection.  In 2017, they expanded on this concept, aiming to achieve full spatio-temporal cloaking.

You can’t seem to talk about time travel without including cloaking. The Philadelphia Experiment that was first described as a hoax, may have been portrayed as such to suppress coverage of cloaking technology and teleportation. So, science fiction, may be the coverup for actual technology, and presented to provide deniability. The US Navy has an article about this.

The Butterfly Effect – Paradox Theory

The idea of paradoxes resulting from time travel has been explored by many, especially in science fiction. If I stop my grandparents from meeting, will I never be born? In the context of the Novikov self-consistency principle, theorizes that any actions taken by a time traveler were part of history all along, making it impossible to change history.

More intriguing today, researchers say paradox-free time travel is theoretically possible, according to a 2020 report by NPR.

I guess it’s okay to step on that butterfly after all—despite what chaos theorists (and that 2004 movie) warned us.

Feeling the Time Slip?

That feeling that something has changed in the fabric of reality is called Temporal Dissonance. While not officially acknowledged by science, many have felt that eerie sense that we just left a different version of reality behind. Or perhaps that we jumped timelines.

You wake up with a heavy sense of loss, or in a state of joy, but there’s no event to attach it to. Was it a strange dream? You can’t explain why a memory feels off… it just does. These may be the ripple effects left by timeline edits. The past overwritten, but not without residue, because part of you will always remember. Your heart has memory cells, and new science is postulating that your experiences are encoded into your very DNA. 

Mandela Effects: Are they Memory Glitches or Temporal Tests?

Let’s talk about the Berenstein Bears (or is it Berenstain?). Or the infamous quote, “Luke, I am your father” (which apparently never existed).

These anomalies have become pop-cultural as jokes, but perhaps they serve another purpose: A litmus tests. I’ve considered that our responses may be a way to monitor how  retention and continuity of memory from previous versions of reality. If our consciousness exists outside linear time, then maybe we remember the older draft. Other examples include:

• Jiffy Peanut Butter, but it’s called JIF
• Monopoly Game– Do you recall Rich Uncle Pennybags with or without monocle? I remember with.
• Fruit of the Loom – I recall a cornucopia in the logo, but they say it never existed
• The Bible passage “the lion shall lay down with the lamb” is now being reported in Isaiah 11 as “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb”

As a child of the 60’s, I remember many of these differently than what they are said to be today. Was it a test to see who’s paying attention or who retains information that’s been manipulated?

Temporal Wars – Sci-Fi to Reality

Whistleblowers from alleged black ops programs—Project Looking Glass, Montauk, and DARPA’s Project Pegasus—have suggested that time travel isn’t just theoretical, it’s operational. Some claim elite groups use temporal tech to preview future outcomes and alter historical events. Wars, elections, and even disclosure itself .

One of the more widely discussed insiders is former Navy Seal and intelligence insider Bill Wood, who claimed that Project Looking Glass was used to view multiple timelines simultaneously. According to Wood, elites discovered that post year 2012, all timelines appeared to converge into a singular event they could no longer control, sparking panic among those accustomed to manipulating outcomes.

You can listen to Bill’s interview with Kerry Cassidy here: Project Camelot Bill Wood Above _ Beyond Project Looking Glass  Note: He had to say it was for a fictional book in order to protect his NDA. Even back then, he stated that this was to stop the erosion of Constitutional Law and rights that was being stripped away for years.

Another figure worth noting is Andrew Daniel Basiago, a Vancouver, Washington lawyer. Basiago claims he was part of time travel experiments as a child, having been recruited through his father’s involvement in black-budget programs. He also runs Project Pegasus, a group dedicated to lobbying the government to release the secrets of teleportation and time travel for the benefit of mankind.

What if this is the real reason for delays in disclosure? Competing factions editing the script of our shared reality, trying to nudge us toward a preferred outcome? And what if those of us who’s DNA remember the past are pushing back and finding the threads in history and science, to share with you?

Consciousness: The Original Time Machine

Here’s where things get especially interesting. What if consciousness itself is the time machine?

Through my practice of Reiki and distance healing, I discovered a quantum physics connection. Consciousness can navigate between different versions of reality, potentially influencing the timeline through focus, emotional state, and belief. When we meditate with a specific intention or outcome that changes something in the past (preventing accidents or illness, changing the path or speed of hurricanes) we call it a retro-causal effect.

Retrocausality, or backward causation, is a concept where an effect precedes its cause in time, and it has been explored in various philosophical and scientific contexts.

Dreams, meditations, psychedelic experiences, even moments of sudden insight or intuition all seem to bypass linear time. Is it possible that the human soul remembers across timelines? And if so, are our moments of déjà vu not just mental static, but synced signals from parallel versions of ourselves? I’ve had such dreams, so lucid, and in vivid color, that I had to wonder if it was a version of me in another time, or another dimension.

Final Thoughts… Fiction as Foreshadowing

Maybe sci-fi isn’t just escapism. Maybe it’s education through analogy, a stealthy curriculum preparing humanity for the recognition that reality is malleable, timelines are fluid. It shows us that the future is not written in stone but written through us via our very thoughts and intentions. And this is why you’ll hear me say, be sure you’re feeding the right wolf, so you don’t manifest a dark future often portrayed in works of fiction.

Every time you raise your awareness, align with higher intent, or make a conscious choice to love instead of fear, you may be anchoring a better timeline.

So, next time you feel that familiar twinge—that sensation you’ve been here before, or that the world just shifted—ask yourself:

What if I just remembered something they tried to erase?
And what if… you remember because you’re meant to?

As a conscious co-creator, what if you could change the past, to create a better future?
