It's eye opening to be taught that the future is much more certain than the past. I thought future and past was symmetric, but apparently, if we accept creation through intention, then what is intended must come to pass, and thus it must be the most certain thing. Whereas the past is basically a hallucination, and the present is dominated by self-locating uncertainty. (If we are certain about the present, it means we are at the intended place.) The only possible objection to this idea is that given the uncertainties of the present, how do we know *the* intent of creation exists? This is basically the question of whether something you can't possibly know exists, but idealized concepts do help to illustrate metaphysical ideas.
