From a therapeutic perspective he insists that if a understand that in the instantaneous world of telepathic patient has a bad progression, he merely reprograms them to have communication, their now is exactly the same as mine. So it is one of the more pleasant versions. However, each of the perfectly acceptable to use the concept of a universal "now" alternatives involves the same person with the same broad when we are operating in areas that are clearly beyond the circumstances. normal constraints of the visible, physical world. So are future-life progressions in any sense reliable? Certainly On that basis, I would propose that we think of time operating the evidence is slim, and we know from Snow's predictions that something like this. The past, present and future do exist as they are not entirely accurate, not least in regard to their specific separately linked linear concepts, so that cause and effect do timing. But then, nor are many past-life regressions, which can occur. However, there is a sense in which the future has already involve elements of imagination and other information interwo- happened.

However, the impressive level of detail number of futures have already been envisaged but have not in some of the progression cases suggests that we should not happened in any physical sense. write them off completely without further consideration. But if To understand what I mean by this, I need to refer to a they are at all accurate, what does that tell us about predetermina- consistent idea that emerges from interlife regression research, tion versus choice, and indeed about the nature of time itself? which is that at least reasonably advanced souls choose and plan In common with many others who like to question our their next life to give themselves the best opportunities for conventional assumptions about time, both advancing their karma. In no sense are the Snow and Goldberg mention Einstein's snapshots of a potential next life, which theory of relativity in what appear to be some souls see, so fixed that they are totally attempts to suggest that it does not operate predetermined. But they do represent major in a flowing linear fashion—that is, from probabilities for that life, or sometimes the past, through the present and into the lesser alternative possibilities. future. So let us imagine that we can freeze time But I would argue that both are somewhat at a particular now, when one particular soul misrepresenting this theory. It is true that is seeing the next life they might lead and a Einstein proved that space and time are not In no sense are number of major probabilities in that life as independent of each other and that, because if it were already happening.

But physical universe came into being. these connections would not just stop But this does not imply that time does when our original soul dies in that life. not flow as a linear phenomenon; it merely indicates that it can They would carry on into the future ad infinitum. And this future only be measured relative to the position of the observer. of life on Earth would almost certainly at some point allow for Nevertheless, on the face of it, this theory suggests that we space travel and colonisation as major probabilities, thereby cannot objectively define anything called "now" because that connecting it to the future of every other inhabited planet in the moment is indeed relative to the observer. But this is a red Universe. herring for the type of analysis that is relevant here, especially So we can see just how complex and all-encompassing this because modern science—via the EPR [Einstein—Podolsky— version of the so-called future would have to be.
