This is the notion of time we are most familiar with. Thus, your past and future lives have no direct effect on your present life, and vice versa. </div> <bR> <div> This is in conflict with the classical concept of karma which states that there is no such thing as the past, present, or future, as we know it. All of our various lives are being lived at the same moment but at different frequencies. Thus, your past lives are occurring right now on a different frequency along with your present and future lives. They are all affecting one another. You are hence able to change the past and future by changing the present. </div> <bR> <div> To illustrate this concept, imagine yourself in a spaceship leaving the Earth. As you look back down on the Earth you see the present occurring in Europe, the past in South America, and the future in North America. As you return to the Earth you choose which era, or continent, by this example, you want to function in. Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which tells us that there is only the probability - not the certainty- of the existence of matter at any point in time, is in line with this concept.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="13730be0.jpg" border=0 width="304" height="190" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>The future, as well as the past, consists of patterns, or rules of behaviour and realisation. </B></div> <div> <B>All reality is a matter of phenomenally expressed principles of action - eventualisation.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Simultaneous Time</B></div> <div> The lack-of-time concept states that the past, present, or future do not exist as isolated blocks of time. The past, present, and future occur simultaneously and each can affect the other. We are taught in our lives to think of the past as having occurred, the present as occurring, and the future as about to occur; that is less than proof-positive of the way things are. </div> <bR> <div> Einstein's Theory of Relativity and quantum physics offer us far different possibilities of time. If we assume for a moment that all time is occurring right now, then it is easy to see how one can read the future or past almost as easily as one reads the present. The placing of the self in a hypnotic trance merely removes the usual barriers of time and allows for more complex observations. The main problem in understanding the lack-of-time concept is that we function in a three-dimensional reality. There are many other dimensions that are illustrated by various forms of psychic phenomena. </div> <bR> <div> Time as we know it is merely an illusion created by our own neurological system, our physical senses. Our five senses perceive reality as occurring a little bit at a time. It thus appears that one event exists and is gone forever and is replaced by the next event which also disappears. Since our perception is limited, we nicely place time into three separate components called past, present, and future. </div> <bR> <div> An example of this concept is the dream state. Imagine having several dreams in a particular night. Each dream may encompass one hundred earth years but to you, the dreamer, only minutes have passed. During the dream state your subconscious mind is freed of the dimension in which time, as we know it, exists. Since what we term past, present, and future events appear to us in sequence, we find the idea of simultaneous time difficult to accept. Since, in that scheme, all events would occur at the same moment, a past event really doesn't cause a present one, nor does a present event cause a future one. Thus, our past and future lives really don't have to happen as we think they do. By changing our present circumstances we can effectively change our karma.</div> <bR> <div> To understand the concept of creating your own reality, review the lack-of-time concept. If the present can directly change the past and future, you create your own reality every moment you exist. You alone are totally responsible for your life and the environment in which you live.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="1395f7d0.jpg" border=0 width="351" height="125" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Synchronicity</B></div> <div> There are no coincidences in life. The term <I>synchronicity </I>is far more accurate. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14364880.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="136" ALT="Carl Jung" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="6" VSPACE="4">Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, coined the word <I>synchronicity </I> to describe particularly meaningful occurrences without any apparent cause. This synchronicity seems to happen to people just at the right time and place. When you most require a certain chain of events to occur and they do, despite seemingly impossible odds, then you are experiencing synchronicity. ESP, telekinesis, psychokinesis, astrology, omens, deja vu, and pre-cognitive dreams are examples of this principle. </div> <bR> <div> The following is a possible physiological explanation of synchronicity: There are two hemispheres of the brain, the left and the right. Synchronicity actually entails the communication of the intuitive right brain (the subconscious and superconscious) with the analytical left brain (the conscious mind) through the use of symbolic events. Thus, these so-called coincidences represent the purposeful communication of the subconscious and superconscious minds with our conscious minds. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> I am indebted to Dr Goldberg.
