The Spacious Present

Being educated in physics, I tend to see time as linear and objective, even though I know intellectually that time, as we know it, is an illusion. Lazaris has said repeatedly that our concept of time was introduced into our reality as a safety net, to artificially string things out so that we can be aware of how we create. Seth in Session 40 says something similar:

"Your plane is a training place in the use of manipulation of energy. Your plane seems to deal with cause and effect, but this is in itself a necessary camouflage. In actuality there is no cause and effect as you think of it. There is only spontaneity. For a particular interval you must be taught as if there were cause and effect, so that the result of spontaneity would not end up as chaos. This statement my seem contradictory but later you will see that it is not."

Seth describes the real state of our inner being as in the "spacious present" (Session 41):

"...there is only a spacious present. You are in the spacious present now. You were in the spacious present yesterday and you still will not have travelled through it in your tomorrow, or in eons of tomorrows.

In your terms, the rate at which you discover the facets and realities of the spacious present becomes your camouflage time. On your plane there must be physical manipulation. This gives you also the illusion of past and future, and to you it appears that the present is a fleeting, almost ashen illusion in itself, beyond any true remembrance and beyond the reach of any but nostalgic recall. This is also caused by your camouflage system in which physical materializations appear and grow, mature and disappear.

In the spacious present as it exists in actuality beyond shadows, all things that have existed still exist, and all things that shall exist in your tomorrow already do exist."

If we think of the spacious present as a huge darkened room and our "Now" moments of perception as what we see with a flashlight, we can understand how by using manifestation techniques we can change the habitual direction that we point the flashlight so that new experiences arise in our Now moments. This is another way of "seeing" Abraham's Law of Attraction (Abraham channeled by Esther Hicks). Imagine what it will be like when we put down the flashlight and turn the light on fully in the room of the spacious present and see it in its infinite splendor!
