Wikipedia has this to say on Voltaire:

"François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire (also called The Dictator of Letters), was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher.

Voltaire is known for his sharp wit, philosophical writings, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform despite strict censorship laws in France and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize Church dogma and the French institutions of his day. Voltaire is considered one of the most influential figures of his time." - excerpted from Wikipedia, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaire

Voltaire's writings influenced the French Revolution and challenged the idea of Divine Right of Kings. Although he never admitted it, it is believe he is the author of "Candide" a sarcastic attack on blind optimism and rigid beliefs in favor of common sense. His philosophical leaning towards rationalism instigated the democratic ideals of the French Revolution. He rejected strict religiosity in favor of social tolerance and equality. Voltaire was a man of great wealth, but not enough social power to keep him from being censored, and imprisoned twice in the Bastille. He collected enemies as quickly as he collected friends. However, his power did not lie in his wealth or his social standing, it lay in his influence. As such, I chose him as a man who has great influential power and whose energy merged with and instigated a revolution and the subsequent Age of Enlightenment.

Beyond The Dream

I admit it, I've always had a crush on Dennis Quaid. That sardonic twist of a smile...It just made me dizzy. I remember being particularly jealous of Bonnie Raitt, when they filmed their music video: "Thing Called Love." How she could sing while that man looked her up and down in such a sexy fashion, I haven't the faintest. You'd have heard me croaking. So, there you go...I always thought Dennis Quaid was handsome, but sadly I only go for men with particular spiritual qualities. Didn't stop me from getting one of his movies though, called "Frequency." May I say I am smitten all over again?

It made me wonder, if he understood what he had agreed to film. This movie was about the closest explanation of multidimensional influence that I have ever seen. See, we in metaphysics understand that this life now is not our sole existence (no pun intended). We have multiple focuses that span time and dimensions. They are not linear, as we have been taught to believe. Actually they all co-exist and yet are created in the moment. This is a paradox that our minds have difficulty grasping, unless of course, you watch "Frequency."

The movie deals with a son who's father dies in a fire 30 years before. He finds a ham radio his father used to use, and due to some freak electrical storms that coincide in the past and future, they are able to contact each other. Simple, right?

Well, what happens when you tell a past focus something that changes their future? What happens to you personally when you have two versions of the past and one supposedly happened and another didn't? These are called multiple probabilities and right now, if you were to open your mouth and say anything about them, you'd likely wind up in an insane asylum. It defies our notion that time works in a forward motion and only the reality that we officially agree on is real.

Yes, this movie is a definite must see. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is to have objects in the future appear in the past. You see, in a multidimensional world, time doesn't just work in a forward motion. Time is like a spring on the bottom of the ocean. It bubbles up worlds of events that are related to each and that influence each other. Should one bubble suddenly expand, way past its normal size due to some geothermal conditions within it, it will affect all surrounding bubbles as well. If it bursts, it may even burst other bubbles. Time is not linear. It is radial. Each moment is a world unto itself.

So, when you think that you are only affecting people who are within your physical proximity, think again. Every action that you concentrate on affects all of your realities, past and future. Some have more influence than others, depending on proximity to your particular vibrational creation. Some influence past selves. Some influence future selves.

In the movie, John is a cop whose father wanted him to be a fireman. He came from a long line of firemen, but he grew up to be a cop. Why? Did the creation of being a cop come from the future need to solve a murder or did it come from a boy who dreamed of being a cop? If the future had not impinged on the past, would John have ever been a cop? Think about it. The present doesn't just affect and create the unseen future. It influences and creates all streams of time, including the past.
