聽神談【「未來」有無數個版本，不是僅有一個】
「你和你現在生活中正經驗的一切」的未來，是你可以改變的。
並不是僅有一個「未來」存在，你可以創造出一切可能的無數個未來(There is not just one "future" that exists, but every possible future that you could create.)。
想像它是電腦象棋遊戲，每一個可想像的動作，以及每一個可想到的結果，都已經存在程式的磁碟上了。你正在決定遊戲進行的方式，你也可以明天把相同的磁碟放入電腦，並從頭開始執行不同的動作，程式將以完全不同的方式進行反應──以完全不同的結果產生完全不同的「未來」。
在電腦下棋遊戲中，所有可能的未來都已經存在，並會根據你所做的舉動，來決定所有結果當中，你將體驗到哪一個結果。
尼爾：這又是另一個很棒的比喻！連我這個有限的頭腦，現在也能以新的方式開始構想出實相了。
你和那些活在你們之後的人都能夠並將「改變」未來（你們僅是基於你們的舉動，選擇你們所選擇的未來），並影響所有當下和日後的人們──而且持續不斷，遍及各年代。
當我說一切已發生過的事情，現在正在發生，並且將會發生，意思真的是指「一切」，以「一切」這個字的最大意義在表達。這包括一切的可能性和每一個結果，以及你們能想像的每一種未來──和一些你們甚至還沒開始構想的領域。
尼爾：所以未來是被確保的！我們知道，它以怎麼樣的形式存在，取決於我們採取的「下一步棋」是什麼。
未來是被確保的。但是，你會體驗「哪一個未來」則取決於你。
我們在談的不是「已預先安排好的命運」(宿命)。並沒有你們別無選擇的「單一未來」，而是根據你們所採取的選擇和行動，你們正在創造和體驗「未來」。
尼爾：你經常說：「這裡有比眼睛所能看到的更多的東西在進行。」而你不是在開玩笑。這就是你卻實在傳達的意思。
我確實是這意思。現在，你的感知已經成長到一定程度，能夠了解我何以真的是這個意思。
所以，如果你關心你在地球上的未來會如何，你會「現在」就開始藉由影響、改變情況和環境，創造那特定的「未來」。
生命永遠不會結束，因為生命沒有「開始」也沒有「結束」。你只會以你此刻的意識狀態，一次體驗到一種生活(you will only experience in your present state of consciousness one life at a time)。
你現在所走的人生路線會帶給你什麼，以及帶給所有那些和你一起在「時/空連續體」旅行的人什麼，都取決於你，也取決於他們。
摘自《與神對話 4》第28章
You could change the future that you, and all those living now, experience. There is not just one "future" that exists, but every possible future that you could create.
Think of it as a game of computer chess. Every conceivable outcome of every conceivable move is already on the program disk. You are determining how the game proceeds by the moves you make, but you could put the same disk into the computer tomorrow and play the game from scratch making different moves, and the program would respond in a totally different way – producing an entirely different "future" with an entirely different outcome.
In the computer chess game, all of the possible futures already exist, and you are deciding which of those outcomes you will experience, based on the moves that you make.
Neale: Well, there's another wonderful analogy! Even my limited mind can now begin to conceive of reality in a new way.
You and those who will live after you can and will "change" the future (you are merely selecting the future that you choose, based on the moves that you make!), affecting all those living with and after them – and on and on, through the ages.
When I said that everything that ever happened, that is happening now and that ever will happen, is happening right now, I meant "everything" in the biggest sense of the word. This includes every possibility and every outcome and every future you could imagine – and some of which you have not even begun to conceive.
Neale: So the future is assured! We know that it exists, in some form or another, depending on what "moves" we make.
The future is assured. But which "future" you experience is up to you.
We are not talking "predestination" here. There is no One Single Future into which you have no choice but to step. There is The Future that you are creating and experiencing, based on the choices and actions you take.
Neale: You have so often said, "There is more going on here than meets the eye," and you were not kidding. You meant that literally.
I did, indeed. And now you have grown in your perception to the place where you can understand how I could mean it literally.
So if you care about what your future will be like on Earth, you will begin creating that particular "future" by affecting and changing conditions "now".
Life will never end, because Life has no "beginning" and no "end". But you will only experience in your present state of consciousness one life at a time. What your present lifeline brings you, and all those who are travelling alongside you through the Space/ Time Continuum, depends on you and on them.
