The ancient teachers called the one “the carnal mind,” the other “the mind of Christ.” We may differentiate them as ordinary waking consciousness – governed by our senses, and a controlled imagination – governed by desire. There are two actual outlooks on the world possessed by every-one – a natural focus and a spiritual focus. At every moment of our lives we have before us the choice of which of several futures we will choose. The future, although prepared in every detail in advance, has several outcomes. Man’s assumptions which he regards as insignificant produce effects that are considerable therefore man should revise his estimate of an assumption, and recognize its creative power.Īll changes take place in consciousness. A change of concept of self automatically alters his future: and a change in any term of his future series of experiences reciprocally alters his concept of self. Had he a different concept of self, he would act differently. He acts as he does and has the experiences that he does, because his concept of himself is what it is, and for no other reason. The cornerstone on which all things are based is man’s concept of himself. It is determined by his attitudes rather than by his acts. The most remarkable feature of man’s future is its flexibility.
My object in writing these pages is to indicate possibilities inherent in man, to show that man can alter his future but, thus altered, it forms again a deterministic sequence starting from the point of interference – a future that will be consistent with the alteration. Thus the question arises: “Are we able to alter our future?” And whatever is there to be seen before it occurs here must be “Predetermined” from the point of view of man awake in a three- dimensional world. If the occurring events were not in this world when they were observed, then, to be perfectly logical, they must have been out of this world.
Since man can observe an event before it occurs in the three dimensions of space, life on earth must proceed according to plan, and this plan must exist elsewhere in another dimension and be slowly moving through our space. MANY persons, myself included, have observed events before they occurred that is, before they occurred in this world of three dimensions. “And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.” – John 14:29
