You will be taking steps aside from the present that you know. This leads to explorations mentioned earlier in this book, into probabilities. This state can be extremely advantageous when you are trying to solve problems having to do with future arrangements, decisions that will affect the future, and any matters, in fact, in which important decisions for the future must be made. In this state you are able to try out various alternative decisions and some probable results, not imaginatively but in quite practical terms. (Pause.)

Using this state, you take the first choice. The alternative present is the moment in which you make that choice.

Then in your normal state of consciousness, of course, you make the decision that you want from the information and experience that you have received.
