Or is it? Now is a moment. The moment we’re living in. Life’s like a bunch of pictures strung together to form a movie. How real is the future? Is it less real than the past? It’s less definite.

I don’t like the name “Heavenly Father” or “the creator” because it puts God in the past. I’m more of a future guy. The best of all possible futures wants to happen. It affects the past to pull us toward it. God is the channel for that. The past is the how, the future is the why. So, the God concept is still useful. Maybe when you “feel the spirit” you’re in alignment with a positive future. It’s nature’s way of saying you’re getting warmer.

I think there are as many pasts as there are futures. We are creating a path through it all. It’s the trajectory that’s real. Our bodies come from the past and our minds from the future. We meet in the now, the groove of time. So it makes sense to me that we’re in a simulation. Possibility space can’t be infinitely dense.

“The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.”

The future is the past that you will soon be stuck with.
