Now. Looking from your planet, outward as you think, at the quasars, your scientists believe that they look backward in space, in your terms. This is erroneous. It is true enough within the present framework of your knowledge, and the idea will work in the same way that the cause and effect theory works, which is only up to a certain point.

The simple reason, so simple that it appears childlike, is this. If you can look backward from your planetary viewpoint with your physical instruments, and using your own terms and definitions, then from some point you see within the same framework, your scientists should be able to look forward, and they cannot.

That is the simple reason. The profound reason is as simple to say, but more difficult to understand. Using your terms again, and your scientific framework, when you look outward away from your planet, and when you assume that you are looking backward in time, you are simply looking into, or toward, what may be described for analogy’s sake, the center, or core, of an infinite sphere; which exists, you see, in your terms as far on the other side of the inner core, and in all directions. You cannot look away from it, for you are not on any outward edge or skin of it, from which to get such a viewpoint.

We will say what we have to say, and then clarify for you later as we go along. Now. To look backward into the past, speaking on my terms now and not yours, to look backward into the past entails looking forward into the future, and there is no firm ground, you see; there is no present in a basic manner, no firm ground that is the present, from which to view the future or the past. For they are all one, and you are a part of the spacious present.
