To look at the great opening of time and see cycles upon cycles so that your life in its totality is a single thought in a greater life and that too a single thought within a yet greater. All that from the peculiar intersection of time with timelessness. But to do this without any lessening of the reality of the lived moment, the pure immediate. Rather it is that the lived moment be taken as a worthy and perfect exemplar, as the very disclosedness of those greater circlings. This has nothing to do with any assertion of free will or independence and not with their negation, but with a different kind of making of time.
