Space and Time and Seven Dimensions
Ken Glasziou
No motion, no time. That appears to be fundamental. Even considering time as a measure of sequentiality, if there is no motion how can there be sequentiality? But how can there be motion if there is nothing movable?
Paradise is a strange place, quite outside our experience and our ability to imagine. We need space and things to make sense of time. On Paradise, there is "spirit" and all spirit is minded in some way. The infinite Spirit has infinite mind and infinite mind ignores time. (102) On the other hand, ultimate mind transcends time. Mind itself is inherently aware of sequentiality. (134) Since all spirit is minded, presumably absolute mind must also be aware of sequentiality and sequentiality surely must imply time, even if there is no motion.
Cosmic mind is the source of that feeble thing we ourselves are endowed with, and cosmic mind is conditioned by time (102). Which may be the reason we have difficulty comprehending the deeper things about the timeless, the spaceless, and the infinite.
The revelators tell us that time comes by virtue of motion, that motion is essential to time, and then comment that no universal time unit is based on motion other than the Paradise-Havona day which is arbitrarily based upon the length of time required for the planetary abodes of the first or inner Havona circuit to complete one revolution around the Isle of Paradise--about one thousand years of our time.
Newton made time absolute and imposed from without. Einstein made it relative and defined from "within the system." If Paradise was accessible, Newton's followers could utilise the Paradise-Havona unit of time--but it isn't, so we appear to be stuck with relative time--though quantum physicists mostly use time as if it is imposed from "without."
Since the velocity of light is constant in a vacuum, it would appear to be possible for us to use this velocity to standardize an absolute time interval from within the system (our space). For example, the time taken for light to travel 186,000 miles could be used to define one second of our time. But then we would need a standard of distance to specify an exact 186,000 miles.
There may be easier ways to get an absolute standard--radioactive decay, or an egg timer being possibilities. Radioactive decay is interesting because it appears to be independent of motion, time, and space. So maybe we could use an appropriate radioactive isotope and make our unit of time the interval for "n" number of disintegrations to occur. But Einstein messes up this idea because his relativity tells us that it would only work for independent observers at rest relative to one another and with gravity a constant. Others would have to make corrections for where they were at.
The book states that time and space are inseparable in the time/space creations--which certainly includes the seven superuniverses but may exclude components of the master universe.
The following comment is a puzzle:
"God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit are eternal--are existential beings--while God the Supreme, God the Ultimate, and God the Absolute are actualizing Deity personalities of the post-Havona epochs in the time-space and the time-space-transcended spheres of master universe evolutionary expansion." (2)
That this may be incomprehensible to us earthlings is not surprising since our minds are derivatives of cosmic mind which is "conditioned by time." (102)
Perhaps these "time-transcended spheres" are to be the abode of the absoniters who will exist in the domain of God the Ultimate. If so they might provide employment for members of the Corps of Finality in "an effort to compensate their experiential deficiencies in not having participated in the time-space evolution of the Supreme Being." (353) Such is the conjecture on Uversa.
Speaking to a Mithraic priest Jesus once said: "Mind can function independently of the concept of the space-relatedness of material objects." And, "Space is not empty...Space is relatively and comparatively finite to all beings of creature status." But then he, too, blows our feeble minds with, "The nearer consciousness approaches the awareness of seven cosmic dimensions, the more does the concept of potential space approach ultimacy. But the space potential is truly ultimate only on the absolute level." (1439)
The very next paragraph completes our mindal demolition, "It must be apparent that universal reality has an expanding and always relative meaning on the ascending and perfecting levels of the cosmos. Ultimately, surviving mortals achieve identity in a seven-dimensional universe."
These appear to be the only references in the book to a seven dimensional universe. Do they really imply seven dimensions of space or space-time?
I have trouble with even a four dimensional space-time concept. Seven dimensions is
