Time
- Five types of time that can be experienced are (1) linear time, (2) carousel time, (3) healing time, (4) archetypal time, and (5) simultaneity. See “The Five Times.”
- Time facilitates the loosening of beliefs and fixed ideas.
- That which transcends time is timeless, is timelessness.
- A construct that seems to divide the Indivisible into a sequence of events.
- A construct that supports learning, healing, and awakening.
- A structure that facilitates learning and healing from the belief in separation.
- A structure that enables learning in a simulated environment without the possibility of causing real damage through misapplied creativity.
- A type of manifestation in which the Indivisible seems to be carved up into a sequence of moments, most of which are hidden in the past or the future. Although many believe that the past is immutable and that the future is unknowable, all is present in the eternal now.
- The experience of time correlates with unconsciousness. In profound unconsciousness, history seems to unfold across vast epochs of time. In total awakeness timelessness is known.
- Cyclic time is a means of looping through a construct of creation in order to perfect learning and mastery.
- Linear time is the experience of a sequence of events unfolding seemingly irreversibly from the past to the future.
- Linear time is embedded in cyclic time, and as such it is not actually linear.
- The essence of time is neither linear nor cyclic.
- Time is transcended as unawakeness is transcended.
- One who transcends time is in creatorship without any victimhood.
- Timelessness is beyond all delusion, including the delusion of victimhood.
- Timelessness completely transcends linear cause and effect.
- In timelessness, it is clear that past, present, and future are all experienceable and can all be changed in the eternal now.
- In timelessness, it is clear that past, present, and future are ideas that are projected simultaneously, and that past, present, and future are interpenetratingly one construct.
- In Supreme Awakeness, it is clear that the past, present, and future are projected simultaneously and are all totally mutable.
Sayings:
- “Everything happens in no time at all.”
- “Healing from the belief in separation removes time from the world system.”
- “In the absence of time, awakeness is known directly.”
- “One’s degree of awakeness determines their experience of time.”
- “The inevitable future is awakeness. To come from the future is to amplify awakeness in the present moment.”
- “The level of our consciousness determines the yuga that we are in, which is to say the apparent epoch of relative truth or untruth that we are experiencing.”
