The Handbook sees the present as the quantum consequence of past events and choices, but more importantly Dr. M. invites the reader to see their present choices as the building blocks of the future. This is why the Enia put forth the Prime Directive and the choice to Create Peaceful Space at this time. They are concerned that the current direction of human affairs does not bode well for the future of Inurere (Humanity). The Enia see that most Ti-Enia (humans) are not looking to the past seeking the Wisdom of the Ancestors and the Ancient Ways as solutions the their present problems. Instead, they plan only to follow science into an unknown future without regard for the consequences of their choices. They are in need of a Prime Directive to regulate their actions or they are sure to call disaster into the future. That process has already begun.
In the Handbook, Dr. M. stresses the Quantum Nature of Creation. That is, all of this, all of what we are experiencing is about energy, Sentient Energy, Quantum Personalities, and Quantum Entities manifesting and shifting in response to the aggregating force of human choices, thoughts, and feelings. It is only by gaining control over our thoughts, attitudes, and choices that we can generate an Ashe Ami (Energy Signature) that is nurturing of life and a healing to the world. The choices you make now set into motion the probability that certain things will be true in the future. You are a co-creator in life, not just a spectator or victim of it. As Dr. M. says in the Handbook, you are a scientist in a lab and you have some important choices to make because you are responsible for handling some very powerful chemicals and forces harnessed within your own genetic code.
Everyday I hear or read about events that turn my mind right back to Letters to You: From The Mysterious Dr. M. - The Handbook On Being Human, vol. I. Everyday I think about how different things could be. How simple are the steps to changing our future. Simple, but not easy, yet steps worth taking. Everyday I hope that another person will read the Handbook, hear about the Prime Directive, or read this Blog and get it. One-person-at-a-time, until the circle is complete and everyone has at least considered the possibilities. Everyday I hope that we can avert what the Riri Enia (the Seeing People) say is coming! Everyday I hope that, the flicker of light burning in the human soul will burst into a blazing passion for change guided by the Prime Directive and fueled by the desire to Create Peaceful Space for all the human family. Everyday I plant a seed somewhere. A planter, not a farmer, I move on trusting that when the conditions are right, that seed will grow. And every now and then, when it seems that I am most in need of rejuvenation, the fruits of one of those seeds, planted in the past, comes into my life nourishing me in the present and assuring me that the past, present, and future are connected, and our choices matter.
Living in alignment with the Prime Directive
is a choice to which everyone should be invited!

You make a great point that past experiences can provide an opportunity for us to examine the kind of energies that emerge and how to utilize this fuel “for positive expression and development of the self”. For instance, I notice that whenever I am experiencing intense negative feelings and I am able to strip away the circumstances surrounding these emotions, RAW ENERGY emerges of intense love and healing. This in turn can bring about incredibly positive, affirming, loving and encouraging energy from others. It is at this moment, in the Gift of Now, that I am grateful that “the Enia put forth the Prime Directive and the choice to Create Peaceful Space” as Dr. M mentions.
At the same time, I also recognize Dr. M’s message that Cosmic Laws and human choices can generate energies from our past experiences repetitively until there is a resolution. It is at these times that I rely on positive affirmations such as: ‘For everything that I feel the urge to oppose, there is something else that I can support’ and ‘Each instance of negative/destructive energy has a positive counterpart’. Then, through the Gift of CHOICE, I can focus the intensity of my feelings on what I value and appreciate, rather than on what I don't want. I can REPLACE unloving actions with thoughts of affirmation. REPLACE hostility with forgiveness. REPLACE fear with trust. REPLACE frustration with calmness. REPLACE victimization with personal responsibility. REPLACE negative feelings by going into nature or going to the gym. REPLACE selfishness with time spent with someone that needs assistance. And finally, I can REPLACE disparity with meditation and reflection. From this latter Peaceful Space, I can trust that when the conditions are right (in my Higher Power’s time), the seed of resolution in accord to Cosmic Law or human choices, will occur. As Sri Ramakrishna (1836 - 1886), who represents the very core of the spiritual realizations of the seers and sages of India, states:
“'What will you gain', some sages ask, by merely hearing this sound [OM]? You hear the roar of the ocean from a distance. By following the roar you can reach the ocean. As long as there is the roar, there must also be the ocean. By following the trail of OM you attain Brahman, [personal and impersonal God]…the ultimate goal."
-- The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
