What Is Déjà Vu and Why Does It Happen?

What is déjà vu? Why do we sometimes feel like the same moment has happened before? Rupert gives us a hint of what may be taking place in déjà vu through exploring our fundamental belief in time and space. The first step is to question whether you ever experienced a past or future. We have the concept of time, but time is never actually experienced. That is, we can not visit the past or future. Therefore, could time be different from what we think it is? Our experience is always now. The now is not moving along a line of time. It is always now. Because in order to experience the line of time we would have to experience a past or future. So the now is not a moment in time – it is eternity. The now is not in time. Could it be that our model of time is simply our limited mind's point of view of eternity? Could it be that time is what eternity looks like when refracted through the prism of each of our finite minds? Thus, what appears to take place in the horizontal dimension of time, actually takes place in the vertical dimension of being. If we take the example of a novel – the story of a person's life that takes place over the time period of 100 years. Even though the whole novel is available in its entirety now, you can not access it all in the moment – you have to read it page by page over a period of time. And if each page were slightly transparent, could it be that some of the content from Page 14 in the novel filters through when you are reading Page 73 and you read it again? Déjà vu is not something you can think about with the mind because the mind imposes its own limit on everything it thinks about. Essentially, there is no past for something to have already happened in.
