Here exists in Space
Now exists in Time,
so how can they be the same?
New York exists in America (space).
New York exists at five o’clock (time)
say the Americans.
But you can’t say
New York IS five o’clock
or New York IS America!
(Unless you are a New Yorker.)
In the beginning
(said the Greeks)
was CHAOS.
In the beginning
(said the Egyptians)
was SKY and EARTH.
In the beginning
(said the Hindus)
was sat-chit-ananda
which means being-consciousness-bliss.
Time is just movement through Space.
So, if I don’t move, there is no Time
(says Gnome).
Watching a small egg become a caterpillar.
Watching a caterpillar eating a leaf.
Watching a caterpillar become a pupa.
Watching a pupa burst open
and a butterfly crawling out.
Movements in space.
Memory can
capture a facsimile
of the caterpillar
and the butterfly
and retain them separately.
This does not invent Time,
it’s just something
that Memory can do.
They were never separate.
They are always a continuum
through space.
Memory can
capture a facsimile
of a child
and of an adult
and retain them
separately.
They were never separate.
They are always a continuum
through space.
Feeling can prefer
the facsimile of the child
to that of the adult.
Preference makes
Regret and Joy.
She was such an angel.
What went wrong?
She didn’t stop, says Gnome.
She kept going. She invented Time.
