Regarding the future being to the left when viewed from the subjective dimension:
During his research, Mr. Silva used to age regress the children. He would take them back to an earlier time in their life, and even do "pre-natal" age regression... take them back to a time before they were born to see what kind of story they would tell him. He found that he could take them back hundreds of years, through many different "lifetimes." By the way, that does not necessarily prove "reincarnation," it only proves that they could detect information.
He began to notice that when he brought the children forward or backward in time very rapidly, they would lean to one side or the other.
They leaned to the right when they went back to the past, and to their left when going forward in time.
In other words, they perceived the past to their right and the future to their left.
Images would fly by so rapidly that they would lean, as if a car had accelerated suddenly while they were sitting sideways in the car.
In correlating this with the earth (the physical dimension), he realized that you would have to be facing south in order for the past (the sunset) to be to your right and the future (the sunrise, the new day) to be to your left.
It seemed to him that we were getting out of the physical dimension, and into the spiritual dimension. He decided that if the earth (representing the physical dimension) was spinning toward the east, then the future would be to the east. So he tried facing east while at his level, but that didn't work. He could not move around in time the way he wanted to. Here is the way he explains it:
Imagine you are looking at the earth. The north pole is to the top, the south pole to the bottom. The earth is turning towards the east... which means that it is turning to the right.
Now... let us do this... let us imagine that the physical dimension is a train, that is going from left to right (towards the east). Let me see if I can draw a picture of this train for you:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now, if you get off the train to the left side - the north side of the train - and you look to the "future" - that is, you look in the direction that the train is going, you will not see where the train is going. You need to turn and look at the train in order to see where it came from and where it is going. Let me draw a picture of a person who has gotten off the train and is looking in the direction that the train is going:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In order to see the train, so that you can see where it is going, and where it has been, you have to turn 90 degrees and face south, towards the train:
V
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now if you look towards your left, you can see where the train is going; if you look towards your right, you can see where the train has been. I am talking about the subject ( V ) looking to his/her left or right.. Something like this:
\ >towards the future
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
/ <towards the past
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Suppose you decide you want to get off the other side of the train, the side towards the south? You cannot get off that side, there are no doors over there.
I do not know how to draw a globe, in this email. If you will think about it... or if you will get a piece of paper and draw a globe, you can see how this works:
If the earth represents the physical dimension, and you exit the earth towards the north - go out over the north pole - into the spiritual dimension - and you turn and look back towards the earth, then the earth is turning towards your left, to the future. If you look to your right, you will see where it has been, the past.
This is one of those things that I do not like to explain, but usually have to. It is too complicated. If the students want an explanation, there it is.
This is why we face the living room south wall, and project into it. It gets us oriented so that we can move around in time and space.
It does not matter how we are facing physically... only mentally. Once we go through the exercises, we have established the idea so that it works automatically in the future.
