The invasion is real, stay tuned, you'll see.

How is the future mentally distinguished from the past?

In Fiasco, Lem said that for a man falling into a black hole, space would take on the aspect of time, since the spacial degrees of freedom would be reduced as the observer collapsed into singularity.

My own, possibly not incompatible, feeling is that our experience of “the past” is uniquely determined by exactly the section of the universe’s phase space that is available to an observer at any arbitrary point. Any information not contained in this set is relatively undetermined and indeterminable to a degree and possesses the aspect of “the future”, impenetrability, subjectively arbitrary, unappealable.

In QBL, there is frequent reference to “the Future World”, Abulafia wrote a text with the phrase in the title.

“Silence will be the language of the future world.” - St. Isaac of Ninevah

His speculation was that this may be true, and we are stuck this way due to an unlearned lesson or a bad choice on the previous playing, and that "salvation" was the opportunity to do the right thing THIS TIME ROUND - ever present - and so break yourself out of the groove.
