Now: Ancient Rome exists, and so does Egypt and Atlantis. You not only form the future, as you think of it, but you also form the past. You have been told simple tales, and they are delightful ones; but if you were not ready to hear more you would not be in this room.

You and your reincarnated selves, or personalities, are not imprisoned in time. There is a constant interchange going on between what you think of as your present self, and your past and future selves. If this were not the case, then I would not be speaking here, for I am not Ruburt’s past self. Each personality is free. Time has open ends in all directions or such a thing as probabilities would not exist. Therefore, actions that you make now can help a so-called past personality; and a so-called future personality may step in and help you along your weary way.

(Smiling): I do not know what to do with you. We learned what spices would do long before the present generation got hung-up on grass. We got high on the high seas, sniffing oregano. (In the 1600’s.) We brought spices to Denmark; we had delightful trips indeed. We explored far down the coast of Africa. I was quite a gourmet.

They are indeed. In certain conditions however, the inner self, abandoning its usual reliance upon the physical senses, is aware of these periods that would seem to you to be negations.

(Jim H.: “Would a noninterval be a positive interval to another aspect of our existence?”)

It is, and they would not perceive your existence here, for to them it would be a noninterval.
