ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN

IN A WORLD WHERE TIME FLEW BACKWARDS,
PAST WOULD BE FUTURE

Because every event is shown to us in a definite series, we think that time always
moves forward. For example, a skier always skies down a mountain, not up it. A drop
of water does not rise up from a pool, but always falls down into it. In this situation, a
skier's position on a mountain is in the past, while his position down the mountain is
the future. However, if the information in our memories were to be displayed in re-
verse, as we would rewind a film, what is for us the future, that is the downhill posi-
tion, would be the past and the past, that is the uphill position, would be the future.
