Hi friends, understanding that there quite literally is no past somehow becomes clearer when we think of our past as a collection of our perceptions in simultaneous time, not hard-core physical events in a time sequence. Heres Seth to help us along: Time does not have certain characteristics when you view it as past, or when you view it as future, or when you view it as present. Any seeming difference between the past and the future is simply due to your own perceptions. ... Take for example then, the house in which Ruburt spent his childhood. Now as you know, that was never one definite unchanging object. That house was a conglomeration of atoms and molecules, perceived GENERALLY as a house, but perceived specifically by everyone who saw it as a slightly different house. For each observer quite literally created from his own subconscious energy an approximation of a house, a general shape then perceived as a house, and further embellished by personal judgments... It did not exist devoid or apart from those who viewed it. ... The past exists to the same extent that the present or future exists, and it is only the perception that is limited.
