Dear OP... You do realise that time is a concept invented by humans solely based on the premise which Earth exists in.
Our denomination of time has no influence what so ever on the rest of the universe. There id only now.......
But.... Wether energy can carry around remnants of previous events is yet to be proven however I do believe myself that it would be possible and those rememnants could be interpreted by our brains as visions or "ghosts".

Hahahaha. Lighten up chap. You'll pop a blood vessel dealing with us crazies.
I love thinking, don't tell me your opposed to the exercise of entertaining radical ideas? Sounds boring.
Besides, you don't know what kind of ontological model I'm actually working with here.
I think I know what yours is called though, it's the modern standard edition.
It's the one they'll program the first advanced AI's with, good company eh?
Well, hey, at least it beats thinking about strange and dangerous heterodox ideas right?

Well of course it would merely be natural. The term highlights the perception from the conventional view that it is something that seems to transcend the ordinary.. You know what the meaning super and supra means. This would be called the spiritualization of matter. It is subtle energies of different kinds affecting the denser physical matter. Or at least that's the more or less accepted view of almost all kinds of esoteric spiritual systems.
I don't remember mentioning time but sure, that's probably how it works. Or at least that's one viable way to see it from a certain vantage point. When evidence is disparate and disconnected and not whole it opens up a vast sea possibilities and perspectives. From another view with another set of data that also intersects with the other set of data it would look slightly different.
Even elemental spirits have their own science, though to them it's more akin to magic because of the particular properties of their slice of reality. Magic because of the role consciousness plays, especially in such realms. Have you been in two places at the same time in a dream? How come impossible things are possible in dreams? Just totally counter-intuitive things that wee couldn't even try to fathom when we're awake. I think that's an interesting question and to me the answer is obvious, it all correlates. It all makes sense.
