In the spacious present there are no such terms. Other selves, reincarnated within the physical system as physical creatures, experienced time as you do, as a series of moments strung out one before the other. Memories in dreams and in the trance state are usually already censored. As physical creatures alone you cannot remember the future. Therefore only past lives are ever recalled. In the dream state however what would appear to you as future lives are already familiar. To the inner senses all of these existences are simultaneous.

Tell Ruburt to call on me before he sleeps, and we shall see what we can do for his comfort. He is stubborn, but he is learning. The whole experience will be shortly over. Were it not for the benefit of his nature, and as a result of his nature, it would not have been necessary at all.

Those who strive high must know what they do, and understand the effects of not working hard enough, of not allowing themselves sufficient freedom. Apparently he could learn no other way. It will be an object lesson for the rest of his life, but it was not thrust upon him, you see.
