True Nature of Time and Seeing the Future
“Time” is not a continuum. It is an element of relativity that exists vertically, not horizontally. Don’t think of it as a “left to right” thing—a so-called time line that runs from birth to death for each individual, and from some finite point to some finite point for the universe. “Time” is an “up and down” thing! Think of it as a spindle, representing the Eternal Moment of Now. Now picture leafs of paper on the spindle, one atop the other. These are the elements of time. Each element separate and distinct, yet each existing simultaneously with the other. All the paper on the spindle at once! As much as there will ever be—as much as there ever was. There is only One Moment—this moment—the Eternal Moment of Now. It is right now that everything is happening—and I am glorified. There is no waiting for the glory of God. I made it this way because I just couldn’t wait! I was so happy to Be Who I Am that I just couldn’t wait to make that manifest in My reality. So BOOM, here it is—right here, right now—ALL OF IT!
“Nothing is “older” than anything. I created it ALL AT ONCE, and All Of It exists right now. The experience of “older” and “younger” to which you refer has to do with the levels of awareness of a particular soul, or Aspect of Being. You are all Aspects of Being, simply parts of What Is. Each part has the consciousness of the Whole imbedded within it. Every element carries the imprint. “Awareness” is the experience of that consciousness being awakened. The individual aspect of the ALL becomes aware of Itself. It becomes, quite literally, self conscious. Then, gradually, it becomes conscious of all others, and then, of the fact that there are no others—that All is One. Then, ultimately, of Me. Magnificent Me!”
- Conversations with God, Book 2
“There is no “death.” Life goes on forever and ever. Life Is. You simply change form. After you change form, consequences cease to exist. There is just Knowing. Consequences are an element of relativity. They have no place in the Absolute because they depend on linear “time” and sequential events. These do not exist in the Realm of the Absolute. In that realm there is naught but peace and joy and love.”
“It is you who are moving, not time. Time has no movement. There is only One Moment. At some level you deeply understand this. That is why, when something really magnificent or significant occurs in your life, you often say it is as if “time stands still.” It does. And when you do also, you often experience one of those life-defining moments.
Thus we see that it is not time which “passes,” but objects which pass through, and move around in, a static field which you call space. “Time” is simply your way of counting movements!”
“It should not be quite as difficult to now see that “time” does not exist except as a construction of your mentality. Everything that’s ever happened—and is ever going to happen—is happening now. The ability to observe it merely depends on your point of view—your “place in space.” If you were in My place, you could see it All—right now! Comprehend?”
- Conversations with God, Book 2
“You are always at a place of free will and total choice. Being able to see into the “future” (or get others to do it for you) should enhance your ability to live the life you want, not limit it. If you “see” a future event or experience you do not like, don’t choose it! Choose again! Select another! Change or alter your behavior so as to avoid the undesired outcome.”
“Now let’s say you’ve been blessed with a brief glimpse, a split-second “knowing,” of your “future.” What’s happened is that your Spirit—the nonphysical part of you—has simply sped to another place on the Space-Time Continuum and brought back some residual energy—some images or impressions—of that moment or event.
These you can “feel”—or sometimes another who has developed a metaphysical gift can “feel” or “see” these images and energies that are swirling about you. If you don’t like what you “sense” about your “future,” step away from that! Just step away from it! In that instant you change your experience—and everyone of You breathes a sigh of relief!”
“You must know—you are now ready to be told—that you exist at every level of the Space-Time Continuum simultaneously. That is, your soul Always Was, Always Is, and Always Will Be—world without end— amen. You exist everywhere—and at all times! There is only one of you, but you are much larger than you think!”
- Conversations with God, Book 2
“You are using all of Life—all of many lives—to be and decide Who You Really Are; to choose and to create Who You Really Are; to experience and to fulfill your current idea about yourself.
You are in an Eternal Moment of Self creation and Self fulfillment through the process of Self expression. You have drawn the people, events, and circumstances of your life to you as tools with which to fashion the Grandest Version of the Greatest Vision you ever had about yourself. This process of creation and recreation is ongoing, never ending, and multi-layered. It is all happening “right now” and on many levels.
In your linear reality you see the experience as one of Past, Present, and Future. You imagine yourself to have one life, or perhaps many, but surely only one at a time.
But what if there were no “time”? Then you’d be having all your “lives” at once!
You are!”
- Conversations with God, Book 2
“You are living this life, your presently realized life, in your Past, your Present, your Future, all at once! Have you ever had a “strange foreboding” about some future event—so powerful that it made you turn away from it?
In your language you call that premonition. From My viewpoint it is simply an awareness you suddenly have of something you’ve just experienced in your “future.”
Your “future you” is saying, “Hey, this was no fun. Don’t do this!”
You are also living other lives—what you call “past lives”— right now as well— although you experience them as having been in your “past” (if you experience them at all), and that is just as well. It would be very difficult for you to play this wonderful game of life if you had full awareness of what is going on. Even this description offered here cannot give you that. If it did, the “game” would be over! The Process depends on the Process being complete, as it is—including your lack of total awareness at this stage.
Do not waste the precious moments of this, your present reality, seeking to unveil all of life’s secrets. Those secrets are secrets for a reason. Grant your God the benefit of the doubt. Use your Now Moment for the Highest Purpose—the creation and the expression of Who You Really Are.”

“God is Your Original Self and Your Ultimate Self. God is Your Furthest Past Self, and Your Furthest Future Self. You are Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, the First and the Last. You are an Eternal and Timeless Being.”
- Enoch Mind Reality
God: “All of it has already happened. Every possibility exists as fact, as completed events.”
Neale Donald Walsch: “How can that be? I still don’t understand how that can be.”
God: “I am going to put this in terms to which you can better relate. See if this helps. Have you ever watched children use a CD-ROM to play a computerized video game?”
Neale Donald Walsch: “Yes.”
God: “Have you ever asked yourself how the computer knows how to respond to every move the child makes with the joystick?”
Neale Donald Walsch: “Yes, actually, I have wondered that.”
God: “It’s all on the disc. The computer knows how to respond to every move the child makes because every possible move has already been placed on the disc, along with its appropriate response.”
Neale Donald Walsch: “That’s spooky. Almost surreal.”
God: “What, that every ending, and every twist and turn producing that ending, is already programmed on the disc? There’s nothing “spooky” about it. It’s just technology. And if you think that the technology of video games is something, wait ’til you see the technology of the universe!
Think of the Cosmic Wheel as that CD-ROM. All the endings already exist. The universe is just waiting to see which one you choose this time. And when the game is over, whether you win, lose, or draw, the universe will say, “Want to play again?”
Your computer disc doesn’t care whether you win or not, and you can’t “hurt its feelings.” It just offers you a chance to play again. All the endings already exist, and which ending you experience depends on the choices you make.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3
Neale Donald Walsch: “So God is nothing more than a CD-ROM?”
God: “I wouldn’t put it that way, exactly. But throughout this dialogue I have been trying to use illustrations that embody concepts everyone can hold in their understanding. So I think the CD-ROM illustration is a good one.
In many ways, life is like a CD-ROM. All the possibilities exist and have already occurred. Now you get to select which one you choose to experience. This relates directly to your question about Earth changes.
What many of the psychics are saying about the Earth changes is true. They have opened a window onto the “future,” and they have seen it. The question is, which “future” have they seen? As with the end of the game on the CD-ROM, there is more than one version.
In one version, the Earth will be in upheaval. In another version, it won’t.
Actually, all of the versions have already happened. Remember, time—“
Neale Donald Walsch: “—I know, I know. “Time does not exist”—“
God: “—that’s right. And so?”
Neale Donald Walsch: “So everything’s happening at once.”
God: “Right again. All that has ever happened, is happening now, and ever will happen, exists right now. Just as all the moves in the computer game exist right now on that disc So if you think it would be interesting for the doomsday predictions of the psychics to come true, focus all your attention on that, and you can draw that to yourself. And if you think you would like to experience a different reality, focus on that, and that is the outcome you can draw to you.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3
“This does not mean that the future cannot be predicted sometimes, for in practical terms you will continue with certain lines of probability which can be seen “ahead of time’.”
- SETH (The Nature of Personal Reality)
“Through the use of computers … you try to assess “future probabilities”…The mind can do this far better than any computer. If it believed this, then certain portions of the brain would be activated … and the probabilities of future events would be made consciously available. You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule.”
- SETH (The Nature of Personal Reality)
“Each individual, generally speaking, knows his challenges and overall programs, and the time of his death. But even such decisions can be altered at any time in your “now’.”

How Spirits See Our Physical World
“Perception of your world is possible, but in a dim overview fashion, for now that reality is the ghostly one to me, its edges unclear, its motions blurry, and its most solid masses having a transparent cast.
If sharpness of detail is lost, I am quite able to follow large patterns of thought with ease, perceiving them somewhat above the hard-bed reality of the world, rising from it like multicolored clouds of different shapes, colors, and varieties. All in all, then, I can follow the world’s ideas and emotional climate very well. Realities connected with you own experience, but invisible to you, are quite clear from my viewpoint, then, while ordinary events of a physical nature are unclear and shadowy.
I can flow thought’s masses as they form above the world, mixing with others, flowing in patterns sometimes light, sometimes dark or dimming, and I can perceive the intensity of emotion that drives them. As a rain cloud will surely bring a shower, from my standpoint it is obvious that certain thought patterns will bring about physical events suiting their nature, so it is with considerable interest that I watch those emotional and mental patterns that surround the world.”
- William James (The Afterdeath Journal of An American Philosopher)
“I can “see” the world’s thought patterns as I described them and the world’s emotional forms “at once,” as you might see the clouds if you were high enough above the earth. I can also “see” my own life in the same way, in its entirety as I knew it, but also in ways that were unfamiliar to me then. The events of my own life appear open-ended to me; I see what I did, but also what I might have done, and can perceive the energy I sent out in directions that I did not take consciously. I can track my own influence then, see the thousands – no, millions – of people I affected, as each of you affects the earth and its populace in far greater terms than you realize, Each contact, direct or not, counts and ripples outward so that each person’s life sends out lines of contact intersecting with others on a psychic level, but quite practically in psychological terms. So after death, watching the tracks of one’s own influence is perhaps the most fascinating of endeavors.”
- William James (The Afterdeath Journal of An American Philosopher)
“When the Master teaches the student the bow and arrow he says, ‘Clear your mind and know that the arrow will find the target. Release the arrow as the leaf bends under the dewdrop.’ The Master understands that it is possible to reach a state of consciousness in which the result of an action is known before that action has even occurred.
The NOW moment, therefore, when fully realized is a state of being in which all that has ever been and all that is, can be known. It is a window of zero elapsed time and infinite time that encompasses all experience and knowledge. This is the best way we can explain it to you.
Knowing encompasses feeling and intellect.
Remember that the law of ‘like attracts like’ is always in operation. We can know anything to which we vibrationally tune in, but as individual personalities, we are not aware of everything in the all–that–is! The physical experience just enhances the feeling of time as a linear, sequential process.
We do not know the future, however. In that sense our existence is similar to yours. We only know potential futures –– these are quite clear to us for we can see the energy around them. The excitement for us is to see which potentials will manifest.”
- Conversations with My Higher Self (A book channeling the same entity known as “Abraham Hicks”)
“Groups of angels in the Interlife observe the development of timelines in several ways, one of these being to see them displayed through a system of projected light. Try to visualize this process as it is seen by these angelic observers. They are watching major timelines, identified by geometric symbols, weaving together with minor timelines, which are identified by color-coding. Displaying the timelines in this way shows the patterns start to develop as energies interact and outcomes emerge. These outcomes may be uncertain over the course of a few months, or even years, but when a whole century of development is reviewed over a few hours the picture often becomes clear.
Visualize these displays of light in your mind. Major timelines form broad highways of light and establish the sweep of history like main themes of a piece of music, while narrower light-roads formed by minor timelines intervene briefly like moments of melody which enrich the pattern but are soon replaced by others. Movements of change and patterns of development ebb and flow like tides, and with the weaving together of all these timelines, the whole tapestry can be seen unfolding in great complexity.”
- Angel Alariel (Channeled in the book “Beyond Limitations – The Power of Conscious Co-Creation”)
“Future prediction is difficult because of the complex and fluid nature of linear time. Timelines flow forward out of the “now” moment into the future, but they are being influenced continually by choices being made. Some of these choices may cause the timelines to shift, or even cease to exist. Other choices may bring new timelines into existence, so that apparently certain outcomes begin to fade, and new outcomes start to emerge. And all this moves and shifts ad changes in a fluid way, more like the organic development of a life-form than the rigid mechanical working of a machine. This is what makes any form of prediction so difficult.
Having said this it is true that certain tendencies in the timelines can be followed, and from their development some idea of the shape of future events can be gained. But here we are entering the realm of multiple possible futures rather than the one future that your culture has conditioned you to expect. From these many possible futures, only a bundle of likely outcomes can be deduced, not a single outcome.”
- Angel Alariel (Channeled in the book “Beyond Limitations – The Power of Conscious Co-Creation”)
“Once we give people an outer teaching, a teaching expressed in words, that teaching has entered the realm of duality. You can compare this realm to a chessboard. Even people who don’t play chess should know that in a chess game both players have the same pieces with the same powers. Therefore, both players have an equal opportunity to win, meaning that there is no fail-safe system that will guarantee that you win a chess game. Any move you make can be counteracted by a move from your opponent—until someone is checkmate. Basically, the only thing that decides who wins a chess game is that one player makes a move which the other player does not counteract—not because he can’t but because he does not see far enough ahead.”

Foresight and Precognition
“The Spiritual World is able to see the end result of every action and thought. The lowest sphere of light is able to see less into the future than those of the higher spheres. Ultimately, only God who is above all sees all and knows all things past, present and future. Spirits of the higher spheres can see some of the possible culmination of actions and thoughts upon the earth and are directed by God to guide and influence the world towards the right path without violating the free will of man.
Angels and spirits serving God are directed in advance through the foreknowledge of God into positions and places ready for the occurrence of the event months or years before they occur to direct the human lives towards their destinies against adversity and unfavorable circumstances. Sometimes these events are revealed to humans on earth through visions, dreams or a revelation in their spirits.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“It seems to some that predestination does not allow room for free choice but such views come from linear thinking where we think that there is only a Plan A in God. In order to offer us the experience of free will and free choice which is true and real, God has Plan A, B, C to Z and infinity for every position of choice that we have. When we get our hearts in union with Him, we will always receive the impetus and guidance to make the choices that move towards Him (Romans 8:28). On the other hand, when our heart is not with Him but on self, the pathway leads away from Him. All the sin, suffering, pain and imperfection in the world today are the result of free choices made by generations before us and by the present generation continuing to make the wrong choices, besides our own wrong choices. However, the right choices made by those who are in union with God’s heart do have a positive impact in bringing the world closer to God’s perfect Will.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
The Secret Method to Change Your Destiny
PRAYER HAS THE SUPERNATURAL POWER TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF OUR DESTINY.
One of the most powerful displays of faith, courage, and perseverance in prayer that I have ever read is recorded in the book of Isaiah. “In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live” (Isaiah 38:1). Notice that the prophet Isaiah spoke the word of the Lord to Hezekiah. This was a sovereign utterance from God: “For thou shalt die, and not live.” The king’s reaction was much different from what most of us would have anticipated. Instead of complaining, getting angry at the prophet, or becoming bitter, Hezekiah prayed.
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, and said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. (Isaiah 38:2–5)
King Hezekiah prayed to the Lord and asked Him to remember His covenant. As a result of his prayer, King Hezekiah had fifteen years added to his life! The moral of the story is further proof of what we learned from James: heartfelt, sincere prayer has the power to change your life.
