The analogous ideas of a screen of time or a screen of words propose the metaphor of an almost impermeable barrier within consciousness that separates the timeless in experience from the time-bound, or else meanings which can only exist in a matrix of language from those which do not. Since the division is within an identical consciousness it is less a matter of a sort of membrane than of qualities of energy that cause certain fields to become active and certain others to fall into passivity or to assume the unconsciousness of the horizon. Or else we could speculate that such a barrier represents a certain kind of frequency threshold, below which it appears essentially solid - and the more so as our foreground or identified consciousness operates at a lower frequency - and above which it becomes increasingly traversable and invisible. To take the example of the time-barrier and considering various states from low to high, we can see that at the lower limit we are merely subject to the passing of time and passive in relation to our destiny. To historicise is to see the world from the point of view of the oppressed, to feel a certain rage at the fact that in each instance the initiative was already seized by others with some greater apparent freedom in relation to their destiny. This rage, however is the beginning of our own movement to a more energetic state where the notion of will now makes some sense since destiny is no longer entirely fixed, some opening in time is perceived. In the next broad frequency band time is the arena for self-actualisation, everything seems to be in motion towards a state of absolute freedom, but a freedom that is premised on the overcoming of obstacles still needs its obstacles, and so time does not yield. If time now seems to be the final challenge it is one that can only be passed by dissolving the heroic frame completely. The next band is the first at which time starts to become transparent, and here it is as if time intersects eternity and a contemplative consciousness awakens. Will expresses the relation of consciousness to time, and here it has been ranged between two quiescences, from infra-temporal to ultra-temporal. The only point of this fable is to point out where different understandings fall into sterile conflict with each other.
