Now. I would like to give you some further data concerning probabilities and the inverted time system.

Now when I first spoke of the inverted time system, I spoke of it as if it were apart from your own time system, to enable you to see it with some objectivity. However as you know by now, this system operates within your own. It simply is not the time system recognized by the ego.

There are many implications here, and now perhaps you can understand why I gave you the information on the nature of action before I introduced you to the inverted time system. For action is action whether or not you perceive it, and probable events are events whether or not you perceive them as such.

Thoughts are indeed events therefore. Wishes and desires are events. As you know, wishes and desires also influence those actions which will be perceived by you as actual events in the physical universe. The human system responds fully as much to these events as it does to physical events. In the dream state often portions of these probable events are experienced in a semiconscious manner. This amounts to a bleed-through, and I use the term purposely, for your recorder can serve us here in an analogy.

Now, the time in which the inner ego exists is, as you know, the spacious present. The spacious present is the basic time in which the whole self has its existence, but the various portions of that self have their experience in their own time systems, which are the results of their characteristic methods of perception.

Now. It should be obvious that the psychological framework must be different when the time system of experience is different. You can see easily for yourself the individual psychological variations that exist simply between the ego and the subconscious, but these portions of the self are very close. Other portions of the self, that deal in what you would call probable realities, are very different in their psychological makeup.
