A recent post “One Moment in Time” describes the nature of time in a way that makes free will appear impossible. Let’s explore the mechanism of free will.
You’ll want to first read these posts for the most significant impact.
Breaking the mechanism of free will
Recall the film projector analogy. Every moment of our lives is like a splice of film displayed on a projector screen. When these are displayed fast enough, together they smoothly create our brains, minds, sense organs, and the experience of physical space-time.
One of the aspects of this analogy that makes it so true to physical life, according to the channeled teachings, is that the film reel exists in its entirety despite our conception of the present. Past, present, and future all reside on the film reel already. The past has already been shown, the present is appearing now, but the future already exists and is yet to be displayed.
Bullcrap we hear you say. We obviously change the future with every action. Regardless of whether or not free will exists, the future can and does change with every choice we make. That much we know for sure.
Reel change
Quantum mechanics has an understanding of the fix already. The many-worlds interpretation says that the (uni)verse forks into two (“uni”)verses at every “decision point.” You’ll see this in science fiction frequently when characters travel from one reality to another parallel reality. The parallel realities will mirror each other except for one little change in the past when things started to diverge.
In our model of time, this is accomplished by changing the film reel. Whenever we make a decision or take action that changes the future, we swap the film reel. This reel swap is the mechanism of free will. The future can change, and we have free will to change it. The surprising part is that we also change the past whenever the future changes.
Restoring the mechanism of free will
Seth brought it up a few times over his many sessions. The first time it ever clicked into place for us was at the end of Jane Robert’s Oversoul Seven books. Changing the future also changes the past; this is the mechanism of free will.
“… these changes obviously affect both the future and the past. But the past, again, is continually changed by you, and by every individual. For basically you see, it is not something done and finished with, as is supposed.”
Seth, The Early Sessions 5, Session 224, January 17, 1966
Seth said in one of his books that every meaningful path is explored. Could it be that every possible timeline is fully explored in its entirety?
Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God related our ability to change the timeline to a computer program that knows how to handle all input scenarios. Not really the clearest description, but in the context of all the channels’ descriptions, it’s nice to have yet another.
“All the possibilities exist and have already occurred. Now you get to select which one you chose to experience.”
Conversations with God, book 3, chapter 6
Apparently, this has been known for a very very long time.
[Time as] a succession of moments becomes evident upon realizing that past and future change according to the next instant.

Bashar
Bashar is very good about getting into the nitty gritty of things so we expected him to say something about this topic. He’s seemingly using the word “Universe” the same as we use the term “film reel.” We’re tempted to use the word “timeline” instead of film reel, but we’re discussing more than just a timeline. It really is an entire (uni)verse since it also includes all the “physical” things in it. People, places, things, times, and events are all included. Everything.
“Any change in your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions, changes not only you, but the entire Universe you occupy. The slightest change represents a completely different Universe. Create the changes you prefer; you create the Universe you desire to live in. And conversely, if you wish to see anything in your reality change, change yourself. Define yourself in the way you choose to, and then act like that is truly you; you’ll get the reality that is representative of the ‘you’ you have chosen to be.”
Bashar, chapter 3 of Quest for Truth
Your mechanism of free will is to entirely swap your (uni)verse for another.
Ramtha
Ramtha’s entire book A Master’s Key for Manipulating Time is a how-to manual for changing out our (uni)verse. Focus on what you want to the exclusion of people, places, things, times, and events. Give the law of attraction the greatest flexibility to find the next reel or timeline or (uni)verse.
Toward manifesting gold, for example, Ramtha says this about rewriting history.
“You never take a pot of gold out of Fort Knox. That would be robbery. But anytime you want to manifest gold that has got a minted mark on it that is acceptable as currency, then you are rearranging the past and your involvement in the past events that happened thirty, forty, fifty, years ago, and suddenly you are going to live an event that brings you that gold. And all the history books will be rewritten, and one day you will open up and see that you are one of the people involved in it.”
Ramtha, chapter 4, A Master’s Key for Manipulating Time
Focus on what you want to the exclusion of literally everything else, and let that be the fulcrum as both past and future shift around it. The moment your belief evolves into knowledge, the manifestation happens (i.e. reels swap).
Time travel
Continuing, realize that when we swap film reels, the new reel does not have to be resumed at the same (or analogous) moment in “time”.
“… if time travel is possible, then it has everything to do about the occupation of the present? It isn’t that anyone goes backwards. It is that backwards is brought forward to Now.”
Ramtha, chapter 5, A Master’s Key for Manipulating Time
Bashar has said something similar. Any time travel to the past would not produce the paradoxes of science fiction. Merely arriving at a point in the past would split/fork/change the (uni)verse. A new film reel would be created upon arrival, and the original timeline would not be altered. This is indeed a very dynamic mechanism of free will.
Shared experience
In reality, there won’t be a single reel for every timeline. They’ll all be mashed together in some kind of crazy multidimensional representation that we can’t even begin to speculate about. It kind of has to be. There has to be some relationship between the roads taken and the roads not taken.
In any timeline or reel you opt out of, there will be many participants who are still opted in. Your inner being must do some amount of “consulting” toward maintaining these alternative timelines. This is a shared reality after all. The amount of participation in other timelines probably has a lot to do with whatever multidimensional representation is used for the film reels.
Besides, without tending to alternate realities, how would there be alternate realities to switch into?
Returning to our personal holodecks with shared experience model, changing the reel (or timeline or (uni)verse) is as easy as changing the shared experience. That might be as simple as incrementing a counter. Maybe it looks like tuning into a new station, perhaps not unlike channeling a different consciousness. Given the model, tuning into one shared experience is no harder than tuning into any other, and changing channels happens frequently.
Leveraging the mechanism of free will
It’s easy; we do it all the time. We can’t not do it.
Everyone consciously exercises this mechanism of free will whenever manifesting anything deliberately with the law of attraction. We also use it whenever we manifest anything that’s not deliberate.
There is a choice though. Our emotional response to each thought will indicate its productivity. Alternatively, Ramtha’s method is to focus clearly on what we want without any inclusion of people, places, things, times, or events.
These strike us as mostly overlapping skill sets but with slightly different use cases. Maybe Ramtha’s is more useful when your inner being doesn’t have much of an opinion so the emotional guidance is largely absent. Either way, practice makes perfect.
