'Your face before your patents were born' - this poses objective, or historical time against subjective time, or the temporalisation intrinsic to consciousness. While your existence is a off ad on and off again sort of event in the former, in the latter, since there can be no beginning or end to inner time, it is a matter of going in and out of the conditions by which an attunement to the world event appears. When you put these two versions of time in opposition to each other one of them will subsume, or 'eat' the other. Whichever is victorious in this contest is determined entirely within consciousness, so the inertia, or sway, associated with objective time yields no advantage at all.
