Anyone who deals with time anomalies and time travel almost automatically encounters ancient chronicles and legends about people who have consciously or unconsciously made a time leap. People who abruptly disappeared without leaving the slightest trace and only later returned. According to ancient Indian epics, there once even existed a special "spiritual meditation technique" that amplified the numerous magnetite crystals in the brain and the body's energy to such an extent that a magnetic biofield was created around the body, making it possible to teleport someone across space and time. This is ancient knowledge that is not taken seriously. The phenomenon of time anomalies, such as time displacements, remains mysterious. Time anomalies are believed to arise from electromagnetic disturbances, when space and time are distorted or bent as a result, also known as "frequency anomalies." This is being further researched. Legends and occurrences of time anomalies were so puzzling to people in the past that they quickly associated them with a curse, a whim of the gods, magic, or magical beings. The Greek philosophers of ancient Greece even suspected that not all gods disappeared, but rather "wandered through time and continued to guide the destinies of humanity." And today? In the German Middle Ages, and especially during the fanatical era of the "Index librorum prohibitorum," demons, witches, and sorcerers, if not the devil himself, were suspected of being behind the events when people appeared and reported, confused, that for several days, weeks, months, or even years they could no longer remember where they were or what had happened. One can assume that their fate usually ended gruesomely. How much truth is there behind the legends?

Foreword
Anyone who deals with time anomalies and time travel almost automatically encounters ancient chronicles and legends about people who have consciously or unconsciously made a leap through time. People who abruptly disappeared without leaving the slightest trace and only later returned. If you believe the ancient Indian epics, there once even existed a special "spiritual meditation technique" that amplified the numerous magnetite crystals in the brain and the body's energy to such an extent that a magnetic biofield was created around the body, allowing someone to teleport through space and time. This ancient wisdom is not taken seriously. The phenomenon of time anomalies, such as time displacements, remains mysterious. Time anomalies are thought to arise from electromagnetic disturbances, when space and time are distorted or bent, also known as "frequency anomalies". This is being further researched. Legends and occurrences of time anomalies were so puzzling to people in the past that they quickly associated them with a curse, a whim of the gods, magic, or magical beings. The Greek philosophers of ancient Greece even suspected that not all gods disappeared, but rather "wandered through time and continued to guide the destinies of humanity". And today? In the German Middle Ages, and especially during the fanatical period of the "Index librorum prohibitorum" demons, witches, and sorcerers, if not the devil himself, were suspected of being behind the events that occurred when people appeared and reported, confused, that they could no longer remember where they were or what had happened for several days, weeks, months, or even years. One can assume that their fate usually ended gruesomely.
It remains an unproven hypothesis that there were/are time travelers, or even "immortals" (hence, time travelers). Among them are well-known figures such as Aryabhata, Imhotep, the Count of Saint Germain, and Nicolas Flamel. Is there a kernel of truth here, or is it all just fabrication? This eBook presents some of these legends, as well as three personal experiences of mine. Enjoy reading!

The aged pilgrim monks
For many mountain dwellers, most mountains are sacred homes of mountain gods and mythical creatures such as demons, dragons, nagas, and yetis. There are also all sorts of folk tales of legendary hermits with magical powers, but also of mountain spirits and the souls of ancestors. Mount Chomolhari (translated as Mountain of the Goddess), at around 7,400 meters, is one of these sacred mountains in the Himalayas, located on the border between Tibet and Bhutan, about 80 kilometers northeast of Thimphu. According to popular belief, the goddess Tashi Tseringma has resided on the mountain for thousands of years. The goddess Tashi Tseringma is the eldest sister of five protective goddesses in the Himalayas, and each sister resides on a different sacred mountain. She is considered the protective goddess of all pilgrim monks who make their way through the Himalayas from monastery to monastery, or who walk past her mountain or meditate there. The monks' faith and their sacrifice seemed to have so appealed to her that she and her sisters later converted to Buddhism under the great yogi Milarepa, according to popular belief. Today's mountain guides who accompany tourists to Chomolhari always pray to at least one of the protective goddesses for assistance and a safe return. There are numerous ancient stories about Mount Chomolhari (also spelled Jomolhari or Qomo Lhari) and the goddess Tashi Tseringma, who is said to have possessed magical powers and controlled the forces of nature. One of the traditional folk legends is the strange story of the young pilgrims who returned as old men.
This story tells of a group of young novices who, before their monastic life, were on a pilgrimage to Mount Chomolhari to ask the patron goddess for assistance so that they could return to the monastery with mercy, and also to bid a final farewell to worldly life. These novices entered a mysterious cave in the mountain, where they experienced a tremendous time anomaly: Between falling asleep and waking up, the young novices seemingly aged within a single day, but in reality, 600 years passed. And so it is said to have happened.
The planned pilgrimage from Kichu Lhakhang Monastery When the Kichu Lhakhang Monastery (also Kyerchu Lhakhang) was built by order of King Songsten Gampo (617 to 649), many young people from the Land of the Thunder Dragon (Bhutan) wanted to spend some of their lives there, or even forever, as novices or monks. All of Songsten Gampo's royal monasteries were also special, as they had to be built at specific sacred sites to appease the demon (Rakshasi) Sinmo. The Chinese princess Wencheng Kongjo, the king's fifth wife, helped ensure that all monasteries were built according to Chinese geomancy (Feng Shui), as special energies and powers prevailed at this location. (There are many fault zones in the Himalayas) A group of seven young novices who wanted to spend their lives in the monastery heard that Tashi Tseringma was the patron goddess of all monks, and that her blessing would give each young monk special spiritual strength to become a wise monk. So they decided to visit Mount Chomolhari, about 50 km from the monastery, with a knowledgeable guide. At the small shrine in front of the mountain, they wanted to offer their sacrifice and say their prayers, and then turn back. To do this, they had to ask the old abbot for advice, but also for permission to travel. The old abbot knew the pilgrimage route there, having already been to the holy mountain himself to pay homage to the goddess. At the same time, all seven young men came from respected and influential families. Nevertheless, he initially smiled, reminding him of his own youth, but he also warned the novices. “Listen carefully, students. Even though the mountain may be so close and your request may be honorable for the monastery and for you,” the abbot began to explain, “you must also know, and at the same time keep quiet, that not every novice and not every monk returned!”
“Don’t worry, venerable abbot, we have the most knowledgeable guide, enough pack animals, provisions and firewood, and we’ll be back in a week,” replied the oldest novice for everyone. “Even if I forbid it, I cannot suppress the young desire for it forever, but now listen carefully, for I am already praying for your return,” the old abbot began.
"Only one man, whose fate had dealt him a disastrous hand, returned to the monastery weeks later, his mind confused, and talked about 'mirages' he saw on the mountain. He always called out, 'Don't listen to the mountain, and don't go in; it's only deceiving you.' Therefore, everyone looks out for each other; strange things happen on the mountain during storms!" Then he had a silver monk's necklace brought for each of them to wear, as a sign of their new affiliation with the new monastery. Then, in gratitude, all the novices knelt before the abbot and each received a silver monk's necklace with a green turquoise stone in the shape of a Dharmachakra (Wheel of the Law, an ancient Buddhist symbol). As he bid them farewell, the abbot said: "Wear it always, and may it grant you the protection of the monastery. See the number 1111 on the back, for it is exactly 1111 years since our great teacher (Buddha) died." (Note: this must have happened around 628 AD.) The seven novices began their pilgrimage the next day, accompanied by pack animals and a knowledgeable guide. The abbot prayed for their safe return. Secretly, however, they thought the abbot was already too old and had exaggerated his story, or even made it up. Therefore, they were determined to get to the shrine and prove to the abbot that the goddess was nothing more than an ancient legend, and that the confused monk had lost his way and gone mad.
The Cave of the Meditating Goddess
When the novices reached the last inn on the trail after two days to fortify themselves with a meal, they knew they were only a few hours away from reaching the mountain. As they finally stood before the mountain, a snowstorm seemed to be approaching, and the mountain guide wanted to quickly set up tents for the night, sheltered between some trees. After a while, a dwarf-like creature appeared to them with a lamp in its hand and enticed them with the words:
"Tashi Tseringma is waiting for you and has been meditating for days. If you want to see her, hurry; only a few are allowed to see her. Come quickly!" As if under the spell of seeing a true goddess, they forgot their caution, also thinking, why stay in the cold when it might be warmer there? What the old abbot told them must not be true. They said nothing to the busy mountain guide. While they were still pondering this, the dwarf opened a cave opening they hadn't seen before and lured them again with the words: "I'm going in now, and the entrance will close behind me. So, whoever wants to see the goddess, be quick, you're sure to receive a gift." Without thinking, everyone ran into the cave and followed the dwarf, and no matter how fast they walked, the distance to the dwarf, who had shorter strides, remained constant. The walls were made of ice, and the light from the small lamp illuminated the entire cave entrance. They barely noticed that the cave entrance quietly closed behind them. Then they saw a mighty iron door, and the novices wondered how a small dwarf could open such a heavy door. But the dwarf only touched the handleless door in three places, and with a loud crash, the iron door opened by itself, and before they knew it, they were in a large hall with many pillars.
The walls shone like silver, with sparkling crystals reflecting the light between them. It seemed they were no longer in their right minds, for in the very center of the hall, bathed in blue light, they saw the goddess herself, meditating in a trance as if she were asleep. The novices stared at the goddess, spellbound, while the dwarf explained that under no circumstances were they to touch anything or speak again until he returned to fetch a special drink for them.
One of the younger novices didn't believe any of this, and as the dwarf disappeared into a dark corridor, he curiously touched the goddess's shoulder, wondering if she was truly flesh and blood, like a human, or a ghostly apparition. At that moment, the goddess opened her eyes and didn't seem pleased to be touched, because everyone was suddenly enveloped in blue light, a flash of lightning struck them, and they all fell to the ground, paralyzed and asleep.
When the dwarf returned and saw the novices lying on the ground, he dropped the silver cups containing the magic potion and grumbled to himself:
“The youthful impatience, why don't they listen, not knowing that only a moment of the goddess lasts longer than a human life, not knowing that the potion captures the moment (time).” Then he humbly bowed before the goddess with the words: “How wise you are, no one has yet understood the test, as you have repeatedly said.”
