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.

It is important that you understand that time puts limitations and barriers in the way of perception. This does not mean that each individual at such a stage is isolated, nor that he dwells in some universe of his own, for interactions always exist. (Long pause.)

In your theory of time however you believe yourselves bound to the road, do not realize that you have made it, and are unable to perceive other realities. You have chosen to do this however. Since you are learning and can only handle so many perceptions, you have forgotten that you have created the road. Multidimensional personalities do not need to forget. They are also aware of different such devices formed by others. (One minute pause; eyes closed.)

They don particular types of clothing to travel these roads, or they use certain vehicles. They do not believe that they are bound to those vehicles. There are certain time structures that are used by many. Well traveled. There are certain systems of reality that are well traveled. In these to some extent mass perceptions predominate.

Form adopts mass within the physical system, but form is not dependent upon it. Form can exist and does exist without mass and without physical matter. Form, like time, is an aid, an organization of experience. Form is used as time structures may be used, but multidimensional personalities know that they construct form as they may construct various time systems as an aid toward organizing perception.

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.

You cannot apply the rules of your game to the universe however, nor project them in such a manner and expect any valid results. Still, playing the game will sharpen your perceptions and give you certain qualities that will allow you to understand reality once you cease playing the game.

(“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.”)
