Cultivating non-linear awareness
A Space/time Magic Technique
Non-linear awareness is an essential skill for those who wish to break free from conventional perceptions of time and reality. Instead of experiencing time as a strict sequence of past, present, and future, non-linear awareness allows a person to perceive multiple possibilities, rhythms, and realities at once. It also allows us to recognize patterns of time that don’t fit strictly within in a linear model, such as spiral or cyclical time.
Understanding Non-Linear Awareness
Traditional time perception follows a linear model where events happen in a fixed order. This model is useful for structuring daily life, but it limits our ability to engage with alternative possibilities, probabilities, and synchronicities. Non-linear awareness, on the other hand, allows for:
Time dilation (the experience of time speeding up or slowing down)
Awareness of multiple timelines and possibilities
Enhanced intuition and creative problem-solving
Greater flexibility in magical practice and personal transformation
Iterative explorations of events, cycles and natural occurrences
By cultivating non-linear awareness, we step outside the rigid boundaries of time and space and engage with a more fluid and expansive model of reality. This opens us up to the full range of possibilities that we might otherwise ignore.
Linear time orients us to the obvious possibilities, but it also ignores the more improbable possibilities because of viewing time as a strictly linear sequence. Non-linear time teaches us to embrace the improbability and recognize that the measurement of time is a “convenience” that actually limits us from being fully present with ourselves and the possibilities that are available to us. That convenience serves as a control mechanism that limits us to the options that are mostly convenient for other people.
Learning to work with non-linear time creates an opportunity to question the opportunities we are presented with and ask ourselves if those opportunities really serve our best interests or keep us constrained. Non-linear access to other possibilities allows us to uncover the full range of opportunities and ask ourselves what we are willing to do, and willing to let go of to achieve our deepest desires.

Technique: The Sacred Cross for Non-Linear Awareness
One effective technique for cultivating non-linear awareness is the Sacred Cross, developed by Anastacia Nutt and adapted into Space-Time Magic Foundations. This method connects internal consciousness with the greater rhythms of the universe, helping to bridge the gap between linear and non-linear time.
How to Perform the Sacred Cross Technique
Connect with Your Heartbeat
Close your eyes and focus on the rhythm of your heart.
If you struggle to feel your heartbeat, find your pulse on your wrist or neck.
Recognize that this beat is not just your own—it resonates with the larger rhythm of the universe.
Sync with the Earth's Core
Extend your awareness downward, visualizing your energy flowing into the Earth's core.
Feel the deep, grounding pulse of the planet’s heart.
Draw this energy back up into your own heart.
Reach Out to the Celestial Realm
Direct your consciousness upward to the sun, stars, and planets.
Feel their subtle yet powerful rhythms, each body in space beating with its own cosmic pulse.
Draw this celestial energy into yourself and merge it with the Earth energy.
Unify Internal and External Awareness
Now, bring your own self-awareness into this energy matrix.
Recognize your personal rhythm within the vast network of universal rhythms.
Feel yourself positioned at the crossroads of Earth and Cosmos, personal and universal time.

Results and Benefits
Practicing this technique daily enhances the ability to perceive time in a non-linear fashion. The Sacred Cross creates a stable yet fluid awareness that allows practitioners to:
Recognize synchronicities more clearly
Move between different states of consciousness
Engage with multiple possible realities simultaneously
Strengthen their ability to manifest desired outcomes by aligning with universal rhythms
The Role of Stillness and Movement
Another key component of non-linear awareness is the balance between stillness and movement. The Sacred Cross technique helps cultivate this by guiding practitioners into a state of deep stillness, where all possibilities exist simultaneously. From this state, movement can be initiated, bringing chosen possibilities into reality.
This is a powerful way to pause, consider the full range of opportunities and then choose the one that best fits your specific needs and initiate magical and mundane actions to help you turn the opportunity into reality.
One method I like to employ is to imagine all the possibilities as bubbles. Go through and pop the bubbles that you don’t want to manifest. The energy and possibilities in those bubbles is directed into the possibility you want to manifest into reality. You then visualize that possibility coming into your body, so it becomes part of your embodied actions.
Conclusion
Developing non-linear awareness is a transformative process that opens new doors in magical practice and personal perception. The Sacred Cross technique provides a powerful foundation for this work, helping individuals synchronize with larger cosmic rhythms while expanding their ability to navigate multiple timelines. By integrating this practice into daily life, practitioners can unlock a deeper, more fluid relationship with time and space.
