In the linear world we experience a concrete past and anticipate an
unknown future.Therefore, the future pulls us toward our expectations. Simultaneous
reality, however, is based on a non-linear perspective of time. It
prepares us for potential possibilities in all situations— past,
present, and future—and retains the capacity for multiple encounters and
outcomes.
Each reality exists side by side, so humans can consciously open up to these events to gain insight and self-knowledge.
