Both versions have five sections. After reading the condensed version, you may request to receive all or part of the regular version by mail. 1. Is Yesterday Really Gone? (88 lines) Two opposing philosophies of time. The meaning of time as the fourth dimension. Free will, determinism, and the "many worlds" concept of quantum physics. 2. The Arrow of Time (89 lines) Does time really flow? A clear explanation for the layman of a complex subject (motion picture analogies are used for ease of under- standing). Why is the flow of time dependent upon human consciousness? 3. The Perpetual Moment (94 lines) The mechanism of our survival in the perpetual past via infinite waves of awareness rippling across time. Multiple worlds and multiple "us's." 4. What a Coincidence-- (98 lines) Jung's concept of meaningful coincidences (synchronicity). Explanations of meaningful coincidences from modern physics. The relationship of synchronicity to such paranormal phenomena as the "I Ching" and astrology. Multiple realities and the mythic dimension as explanations for synchronicity. 5. --There You are Again! (99 lines) "Reincarnation experiences" explained as mental communication through time between different persons with like personalities: the concept of time twins. The predictability of time twins by synchronicity. The paradox of different persons, yet the same person; the mythic reality system's ability to resolve the paradox.
