be our standpoint for the moment.
Already to me the earth limitations appear _abnormal_, and my more
extended capacities mark the norm of existence for me. This must be the
case naturally.
_Prevision_ would be more accurately termed _Whole vision_--seeing the
whole and not the tiny section.
In moments of intense joy or realisation of any kind, Time seems to
cease, and a moment may hold an Eternity. Any absorbing emotion, joyful
or sorrowful, may bring this experience. For the moment _you are out of
yourselves_. This is literally true. You are living in the next
Dimension. Time and Space no longer exist for you. Most of you have had
some such experience, but of necessity it can be a flash only in the
midst of your normal life. Ask me something now.
E. K. B.--A man writing lately in _The Daily Telegraph_ of Time as a
fourth Dimension said something about the cube as being an infinite
number of flat planes of infinite tenuity, heaped up one over the other.
To the person who knew only length and breadth, the cube would have no
existence. Such a person would realise only an infinite number of planes
in sequence. Yet they would all _co-exist_ for the three-dimensional man
of the present day. The suggestion appeared to be that, in exactly a
similar way, events which to the three-dimensional man can only be
perceived normally _in sequence_, would _co-exist_ for a
four-dimensional being. This would mean practically the annihilation of
Time, as giving sequence. Do you see Truth in this idea, and can you
tell me if it extends also to Space?
H. D.--Certainly. That is just what I meant as regards Distance. _All_
limitations are mental, as a matter of fact. We have them here, but
infinitely fewer than in the old earth life.
Mind has always been able to flash from pole to pole and to affect those
at a distance, because mind and distance occupy two different planes.
The latter is an earth limitation. As the veil lifts a little, even on
your side, so you become conscious that mind has these powers; but the
powers were always there. It merely means that you have come up with
your own mental capacities to some small degree.
E. K. B.--Is there any help here for my constant problem: Why should
one's individual life be only _now_ evolving in Eternity? Do you see
what I mean?
H. D.--Yes; but I hardly know the answer to that tremendous problem.
Still, I will try to suggest a few thoughts to you.
To be conscious of holiness
