In our material realm, we have spacetime and time passes in a linear fashion. We experience it from moment to moment and if we have the ability to recall, we remember things past (more or less). That's why writing was such a step forward for civilization, for all the biases inherent in any author...it allowed us to transcend our mortality a bit and extend our personal histories to encompass collective experiences.
Outside of the material realm, including in our realm of consciousness which is everywhere and available at all times, we are not bound by linear time.
There is no future in our material realm, with its linear time. There is this moment and past moments. That allows for free will, ownership, and growth. The future is not known but rather exists only as probabilities not yet manifest or expressed...and we must take decisions at each moment to manifest the future into the now.
Outside this material realm, in the realm of consciousness, we are outside of time. When we gain a better sense of our timelessness and our eternal consciousness, then we can (hopefully) take better decisions in the moment, guided by our centres, where we live in that place of timelessness whilst in the body. In this way, we can begin to experience the richness and the love of the timeless One whilst here on earth.
Peace & blessings
