Question: "How the spirit world is different from the mortal life [here on earth] in terms of time. As I understand it, the spirit world must have at least a rudimentary resemblance to the earth life in regard to time. When a spirit has progressed from one sphere to another, the previous sphere is the past, his present sphere is the present and the future awaits him in the next sphere to which he will be progressing. I have no understanding of what it must be like to be 'timeless' and I want to understand this a little better."

Answer: The individual posing the question is correct in his understanding that he will not be able to grasp the concept of timelessness until he is an inhabitant of the spirit world. However you, even on earth, always live in the present. There is no other time in which you can exist, only now at this very moment.

Progress is real. Change is the Law Eternal. But no matter how much one progresses or changes, the live in the "present" at all times.

When one becomes a spirit, as you have been told, they can assume the identity of themselves at any age they choose. They can even become a child again in appearance in order to identify themselves to someone, as that person may have known them.

We can see trends and "imagine" what will happen in time to come when events continue to unfold in the manner and direction in which they are presently taking place. So, if we are able to go back in time, and see forward also, that may give you a hint of timelessness.

We do not get older in our appearances as spirits, unless we decide to change our appearance for some specific reason.

As long as there are human limitations on the mind, there will be a lack of ability to grasp higher spiritual concepts and functioning. But, as you see, it is not essential that a mortal understand "timelessness" in order to progress spiritually. So, as you continue taking your steps, receiving more Love, then you will feel fulfilled in your soul. You will be happy and wise and you can say to yourself, 'When the time is right for me to understand this, I will.
