Amrit, you said: “Time is not eternity,” yet nowhere in this piece do I say anything at all about eternity, so I’m wondering if you actually read what I wrote, or are just using it as a platform for your own ideas.

You also said that “NOW is the only moment existing. This NOW is ETERNITY itself.” I see confusion here. First, if the Now is a moment, then it can’t be “Eternity itself,” since Eternity encompasses all of time, rather than just one moment. Second if there is such an actual thing as Eternity — “itself,” as you put it — then it is other than eternal because it must exist in time to exist as an actual thing at all.

These confusions are illustrative of the point I am making in this piece: “is there a deeper logic that we are not seeing simply because we have blinded ourselves through the arrogance of believing the truth of what we theorize?”

The point of this article is to highlight the groundless nature of our ideas of Time and Space, i.e., the defined vacuity of Time and the defined realty of Space itself as an existing thing. Those two ideas being solely defined based upon the reality of the other, so that neither Time, nor Space, has any actual meaning apart from the other.

This introductory effort to break free of unfounded concepts is directed towards creating an intellectual opening to understand the “deeper logic” that is presented in the following articles in this “Time and Eternity” series. You might grace my writing by reading it rather than just asserting your own ideas as if they trump everything I have say in this piece.
