(Slowly:) Only because these units have their source outside of space and time is the present corporal reality a triumph of probabilities. Period. Your present image, for example, seems to be the only one possible for you, permanently yours for your lifetime at least; and what happens to it appears almost inevitable. If you become ill, say, you may wonder why, and yet once illness has happened it becomes part of the body’s reality, and seems almost like an inevitable part of its experience.

It is impossible for you to examine an atom, a cell, or anything else except in your now. Period. Because your sense experience follows a time pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from the past.⁴ The fetus grows into an adult, not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the “future” then imprints this information into the past structure.

The body’s innate knowledge, then, will try to translate itself often into psychological activity that may result in hunches, premonitions, and so forth. The senses may be utilized to clarify the message. You might hear a voice mentally, for example, or see a flashing image.

Period. You may assign them to “spirits” or disembodied personalities, but in such a way that these are thrown together in a confusing mass of dogma or superstition.
