Time


Time in the abstract may cloud the issue. In a sense, everything we are is here, now. Time is a stage upon which the drama of what we are plays out. In a sense, we don't fully know what/who we are until the play ends. But whatever reveals itself in the end is what was there in the beginning.
...the Perfect Father will be found in the Present rather than in memories or dreams...
[C.N.]

As we look into the past, ‘time’ hides the details that can only be found in this moment.
[N.G.]

"But do not forget this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." [the Bible, 2 Peter Chapter 3.8]

The disciples say to Jesus: "Tell us what our end will be." Jesus says: "Have you then deciphered the beginning, that you ask about the end? For where the beginning is, there shall be the end. Blessed is the man who reaches the beginning; he will know the end, and will not taste death!" [Gospel of Thomas]
