Acharya Prashant addresses a question about time travel and timelessness, dismissing the concept of time travel as a fantasy. He explains that the future originates from the choices made in the present. As conscious beings, humans are creatures of choice, and consciousness itself is choice. This implies that there are an infinite number of possible futures, making it impossible to travel to any single, predetermined future. He clarifies that while the slowing down of time due to gravity or speed is a scientific concept, it is different from negative time or time travel. He also points out the physical impossibility of traveling at the speed of light, as an object's mass would become infinite, requiring infinite energy for acceleration. In response to a question about the sixth sense, particularly in women, Acharya Prashant states that this is not a new concept nor is it exclusive to women. He refers to scriptures that identify the mind as the sixth sense organ. Even with the physical senses like eyes and ears closed, one can still perceive images and sounds within the mind. This internal perception is the function of the mind as the sixth sense. What is commonly called the sixth sense or intuition is the accumulated deposit of millions of years of evolutionary experiences. This instinctual knowledge is helpful when present conditions mirror those of the past, such as a rabbit instinctively fleeing from a cat. However, for human beings, whose living conditions have drastically changed from primitive times, this bodily knowledge or instinct can be both helpful and dangerous. For example, the instinct to procreate was vital for survival when the species was threatened, but in today's world, it can be problematic. The speaker advises that one must be a witness to their own mind and not blindly trust instincts, gut feelings, or 'vibes'. Spirituality, he explains, is about transcending all senses and the mind. Instead of relying on instincts, which are biological and physical, one should use wisdom and inquiry. He concludes that all experiences are partial because the ego, the recipient of all sensory input, is itself partial and incomplete.
