Probabilities and the Perception of Time

Tuesday, August 30, 2016



L0031_2016_08_30

Good afternoon.

Let us begin with a discussion on the nature of probabilities. Probabilities are a kind of choice that you present to yourself. The probabilities exist whether you are aware of them or not and the probabilities at any one moment are specific to that moment. Therefore as you flow from moment to moment the probabilities change accordingly. At any given moment you choose from the various probabilities the direction in which you will move. Each probability is a composite of what experiences will be generated for you in that direction. In other words, the probability is the next moment's imagery.

As you choose a probability your perception adjusts accordingly. Now in this process I described previously, in which your perception is influenced by the factors I specified, I stated that choice, in particular the choice of which direction you will flow in was one of the factors, and in fact it is what you might consider the final piece used to put together by your perception the next moment's imagery. Now my use of the word final piece is simply an analogy, for all action is simultaneous. What I am conveying to you is that the other components influencing your perception, that is your attention and your intent and some other minor factors, these components then generate various possible paths in which you may flow. This and other information, such as your beliefs, combine to produce these choices. You then choose from these various possible imageries. Your choice then finalizes in a sense the selection of imagery and your perception then presents that to you for your experience.

The probabilities you present to yourself are extremely dynamic, they change with every moment. Now I'm using a segmentized model here in which I am implying that your experience flows from moment to moment. This is for your convenience, it in fact happens all simultaneously, there are no moments, you simply continuously flow and choose and project an experience. There are no granular moments. However for the purpose of describing this in terms you may more easily understand I use the hypothetical metaphor of a moment point.

You may view your experience as flowing from moment to moment in a kind of process. In actuality there is no process, there is simply a movement of energy, but we will proceed in this manner in which you may imagine that your experience is divided into moments, for that will make my explanation more understandable to you. Therefore at each moment point the hypothetical process is that your perception acts on the information that it has at that point, namely your attention, your intent, your beliefs. With this information your perception then draws from the blueprint a wide variety of probabilities that match these elements to varying degrees. Some of these probabilities that are generated you will be almost completely unable to choose for they are well outside of what you believe is possible or what is well outside of your guidelines. The ones that you believe are not possible will simply not be within your awareness. The ones outside of your guidelines or other beliefs will be, in a manner, pushed away. The remaining probable paths are the choices that you have allowed yourself and then you choose.

This choice then engages your perception to generate the imagery for the next moment point and you then experience that imagery. Again this is a very granular process I am expressing and it is in actuality not granular and completely flowing.

Now the probabilities you did not choose continue to exist as information, they continue to exist as an energy pattern that may be referred to either by yourself or others. You, having made the choice, continue in a particular direction. At the next moment point the process repeats and a new choice is made based on your present moment point, on your present energy, for as you move from moment point to moment point your energy changes, perhaps only subtly, perhaps more so in a more definitive manner, but regardless your energy will change as you move from one moment to the other as you flow, for as you flow your experience is changing.

Let me say at this point that there is no physical equivalent of a moment point, it is purely conceptual. There is no timeframe, let's say, that you may attribute to a moment point, it is merely a concept, one that is useful to explain to you the mechanisms involved with probabilities.

Now one of the questions that has arisen with probabilities is what occurs to the other probable paths. Are there other probable instances of yourself that you are unaware of? Or is it more simply that you have followed one particular path? The answer to this is that you have followed one particular path, the other probabilities remain as energy patterns, as information.

Now in your interactions with other individuals the most common case is for the other individual to take elements of your expression within the probable path that you have chosen. However in some circumstances it is possible that the other individual will create their experience with you by the taking information from one of the other probable paths that you did not choose. As I have mentioned previously, this may occur, for example, in a situation in which an individual has chosen to disengage their focus. When this occurs there were other probabilities that the individual did not choose. The individual could have chosen to not disengage and there were many other paths that follow this choice.

Now an individual, another individual, that has a relationship, let's say, with this first individual may choose not to experience disengagement from that first individual, for they may simply wish not to participate in that. In this case it is possible for that other individual to draw their experience of the first individual from the probable paths that were not chosen.
Now I will close the session at this moment so you may attend to your creature.
[Break.]

Very well, we shall resume.

Now your experience just now with your creature is an example of choosing probabilities. When you commenced this interaction with myself you did consider the possibility of the creature interrupting the session. However you chose to continue, or rather proceed, with the session without closing the door and you had some intuition that perhaps the creature would be interrupting the session if you did not take precautions. This is a good example of how you make choices and do not always follow the choice that is in alignment with a particular intent. In this case you disregarded your intuition because you did not wish to isolate the creature and you felt that the creature would be perhaps distressed if you closed the door and it could not go to you. That choice was presented to you quite clearly and you were quite aware of it. You did not stop to think about it to any great extent and you simply flowed in the direction of allowing the creature to enter if it chose. The other probability, the one in which you did close the door and the creature did not pounce upon you, that probability continues to exist in the sense that it is encoded as an energy pattern and it's even theoretically possible for you to return to that point and follow that probability. However this would be quite challenging for you, for you would have to completely disregard your belief in sequential time and this is a very strongly held belief.

Now, continuing with our discussion on probabilities, these other probabilities that you do not choose, they in effect become latent, they remain encoded as energy patterns that others or yourself may refer to. But generally speaking you do not return to them, not while engaged in the focus. You at a point in existence outside of your focus may choose to view these latent probabilities out of interest to see where they may have led. Therefore when you choose a probability and proceed along that path there is not a splitting of your energy or a splitting of your focus, it is a deliberate movement in one direction.

Now we may have a short discussion on how you perceive time. Time as you are aware does not exist outside of your physical dimension, all action is simultaneous. In fact all action is simultaneous even within your dimension. What gives the appearance of time is your perception. Your perception is instrumental in adding the element of time to your experience. In these moment points that I have referred to, your perception maintains the illusion of time by adjusting the imagery from moment to moment in a manner that is consistent with your idea of time.

Your concept of cause and effect is closely tied to time, for what connects one moment point to another in your dimension so as to give the illusion of flow in time is the changes in imagery that occur from one moment to another. In your dimension time is expressed as what you call moving from the present moment to a following future moment. Time is also largely connected to how you perceive your memory. Your memory is fundamentally a way in which you refer to experiences that have occurred in what you think of as past moment points. As your perception generates the imagery of your experience from moment to moment it does so in a manner which you perceive your physical world changing in a certain way that is characteristic of what you think of as a movement in time.
For example, if you place an object that is more dense than water on a body of water your notion of time will dictate to you that that object will sink in the water. Your perception will generate imagery that faithfully reproduces this effect, for that is your notion of what occurs in such a situation. You will experience viewing the object sinking into the water. Now often physical movement such as this is an expression of your notion of time, for you would not expect the reverse to happen. For example, you would not expect this object, let's say a rock, to rise from the bottom of the stream and emerge at the surface and back into your hand. To you this would be illogical, it would be illogical for it violates strongly the physical properties of your dimension. Moreover, the motion of the rock would seem reversed to you, it would seem that it is falling backwards in time. Therefore experiences such as these, although not impossible to generate, are rarely experienced for your perception closely adheres to your beliefs and the core beliefs in your dimension are particularly strong. Your perception very closely follows these.

In actuality each moment point is disconnected from all others. It is theoretically possible for you to experience at any moment any given imagery independent of any other moment point. However in physical dimensions such as yours, where time is an element, you experience in a particular sequence and this sequence is the implementation of time. Time of course is also very fundamental to various physical laws in your dimension. Time is in fact a basic property of your dimension that is created in what you call space and time. This is not to say that it is not possible to escape time and experience moments that are out of sequence and this does occur.

Now I will close the session and wish you a good day.
