Now. Root assumptions are extremely important, for they outline the extent of your reality. They define it, and confine it to certain focuses.

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.

This does not mean that those other lives are subordinate. Other entities might spread their creativity and focus more equally over many lives. But in all cases the entity is simply the part of the self that cannot fit into one life alone. It is not, for example, an alien superself. When you go on a journey you cannot take your home with you—only certain luggage. In physical life, you cannot take your entire entity with you—only the part of it that you call yourself. And you are well-equipped with the proper passports, and inoculated with certain root assumptions.
