History is dynamic in the present in that there is inherent motion in its unfolding. If you are talking about *history* in the sense of the past, which is what I assume you are referring to, that history is static. It is done and cannot be undone.
I understand what you are attempting to say above, Mara but, “history” can be “dynamic” in reference to time and space, where time is dynamic, based on the understanding of time and how it works. One can only reference true history through the mind of the individual who has experienced it, where I have experienced segments of time and now, in the present, those experiences differ from the past, therefore it would appear from the individuals viewpoint, it is not static as associated to a current dimension through time.
In past years, I have research certain events which I experienced as a child, in this one case, I experienced Hurricane Hazel coming through Toronto, Ontario, Canada shortly after having moved into our first owned house, where I was about six years old. A few years ago I looked up the stats on this storm and they were different to what I currently am able to find as being documented, in that when I experience this store, remembering standing at a window looking out at our back yard, seeing the wind blowing trashcans and other material at a very high velocity. After the store past through, I recall taking a walk with my mother, through the neighborhood, seeing all the damage the store had caused, where among these sights, I recall one specific damage where the roof of an apartment building was ripped off and landed on the garage of a nearby house, where I remember this because, it was the house of a friend who I later met.
Nevertheless, this event occurred in my time line as being 1968, where I previously had confirmed, and my age corresponded with that event. However, when I look up the available data today, the information regarding this storm, has it having occurred in 1954, along with its traveled path, differed from my previous research. Also, this new information would have made me the age of two, where we would not have been in the location that I originally had experienced, and remembering where I was at the age of two, would not have allowed me to see what I saw at that time.
Now, think what you will, based on what I have experience in relation to what time is and how time works, it also gives me an enhanced perspective of how time has functioned, therefore, along with many other similar events, how is it that what I remember, is different than what current history has recorded. I have my own theories, as to what is going on, but if it wasn’t that I have confirmed my memories with others who were present at those times as well, it would seem not to be an apparition that only I experienced.
So, it might seem that the present can effect the past depending on our chooses we make and thereby has also affected the future, as indicated from specific points in time verifiable in the past. Therefore, time is dynamic, not static, as related to history.
(1295.3) 118:1.3 There is a direct relationship between maturity and the unit of time consciousness in any given intellect. The time unit may be a day, a year, or a longer period, but inevitably it is the criterion by which the conscious self evaluates the circumstances of life, and by which the conceiving intellect measures and evaluates the facts of temporal existence.
(1295.4) 118:1.4 Experience, wisdom, and judgment are the concomitants of the lengthening of the time unit in mortal experience. As the human mind reckons backward into the past, it is evaluating past experience for the purpose of bringing it to bear on a present situation. As mind reaches out into the future, it is attempting to evaluate the future significance of possible action. And having thus reckoned with both experience and wisdom, the human will exercises judgment-decision in the present, and the plan of action thus born of the past and the future becomes existent.
(1295.5) 118:1.5 In the maturity of the developing self, the past and future are brought together to illuminate the true meaning of the present. As the self matures, it reaches further and further back into the past for experience, while its wisdom forecasts seek to penetrate deeper and deeper into the unknown future. And as the conceiving self extends this reach ever further into both past and future, so does judgment become less and less dependent on the momentary present. In this way does decision-action begin to escape from the fetters of the moving present, while it begins to take on the aspects of past-future significance.
