Donuel, I am grateful for the most beautiful dream.
As you demonstrate so succinctly, the boundaries of the spirit are far different than the boundaries of the "bios" aspect of awareness, and one of the salient differences is that thought travels freely through time (perhaps more accurately, "without" time) and space.
The notion of the future defending itself is most interesting and in several senses I can see the truth of it. If the permeation of the grapevine of all present and past decision points by those engaged inmaking them is actually the manifestation of space-bound and time-bound Life, striving to evolve its own perfect destiny, then the fire of life is dedicated to creating futures and defending them pan-temporally.
Some experiments described by DOssey inter alia indicate that humans can actually can generate future scenarios in which they cross-exist, like some kind of shared dreaming that both individuals recall lucidly, with high levels of agreement about events. This is just one small aspect of the wider phenomenon of non-local knowledge (a term Dossey is fond of). The capacity for non-local knowing is a study in itself. Lions seem to be particularly good at it, just as an aside.
