One of the main root assumptions of your popular world has been that the future does not exist in the present. Religion deals with the idea of an afterlife, again, a future event. Even those who accept reincarnation, again, usually believe that the past is finished and the future yet to come. In a way, the idea of past reincarnations often gives a feeling of support of past lives accomplished.

The idea of future lives brings into consideration certain emotions—man’s fear of the future, for he is often afraid of what tomorrow will bring. Again, a future life presupposes death in the present one. That idea of death usually serves as an effective block against such future explorations.

Any life is a future one according to your framework, or any life is a past one according to your framework. It is, therefore, the focus of your attention that delineates your time period, and provides a psychological stance from which you will then view all other selves, or all other experiences of your entity. Your world is presently based so upon the ideas of cause and effect that precognition is frowned upon. The idea of a knowledge of future lives becomes even more threatening from a cultural, religious, and scientific viewpoint.

People may have some glimmerings of their own reincarnational existences, but they are patterned according to current beliefs—fleshed out by ideas from movies or history books. They need such data as a framework to hold or contain their intuitive knowledge. They do not have access to the history books of the future in the same way. They have nothing to hang that intuitive knowledge upon. The history books of the past, for that matter, are mainly fabrications.
