Now. Any time structure is an aid, organizing experience along certain lines. To a large extent it limits perception, and is a protective device. You are learning to handle perception and experience, and time gives it to you in slow and small doses.

The doses become larger. Finally you can sample experience without these limitations. Nontime represents the freedom to do so. You organize experience along your own lines because you have learned now to do so. You do not misuse experience when you have reached that point.

Now give us a moment here. (Pause.)

Now your physical relationships may or may not have anything to do with personal affiliations after any given existence within your system. There are mothers and fathers that you have forgotten, and children that you do not know. Psychically and subjectively the relationships did not take. You are not burdened with them, nor they with you.

Now. (Pause; emphatic:) you did not bring forth response from one another. This perhaps is more important. You did not challenge one another. You may have gotten along quite well with each other. Do you see?

Sometimes the road or path may be used by others, and sometimes not. Now, many personalities may work together to form a time system, as many men may labor to form a national highway. One personality may also form for his own purposes a time system of his own, as a man might make a path to his own garden.

Now you may take your break.

Now. Time then is an aid in one way, and it is used by multidimensional personalities for their own benefit. Use again the analogy of a road. Other dimensional personalities realize that they are perfectly free to leave the road, and that much more exists on all sides.

Now, there are some systems that do deal with a serial time unit, but in these the personalities are well aware that the serial time is of their own construction. Certain types of personalities will construct or be attracted to certain time systems. They will find certain patterns of development, particular perceptive mechanisms, that go with it more to their liking.

Now you may take a break or end the session as you prefer.

Now to some extent, to some large extent, time as you know it with its continual moments is a highly specialized illusion, even within your physical system.

Now, unless you have questions we will end the session.

(“Our perception of time is limited and we only focus on a fairly small portion of reality. The cat’s is even more limited, but for that reason they experience each event with greater vividness. But our next stage is to have a more expanded time value along with the intense perception or reaction the animals have now. We’ve given up some of that intensity because we’ve taken on more reality, but next we’ll get both more intensity and reality together.”)
