Semantic Misunderstanding: Time and Paradise

(120.3) 11:2.11 Roughly: space seemingly originates just below nether Paradise; time just above upper Paradise. Time, as you understand it, is not a feature of Paradise existence, though the citizens of the central Isle are fully conscious of nontime sequence of events. Motion is not inherent on Paradise; it is volitional. But the concept of distance, even absolute distance, has very much meaning as it may be applied to relative locations on Paradise. Paradise is nonspatial; hence its areas are absolute and therefore serviceable in many ways beyond the concept of mortal mind.

My thought is that people get the wrong idea when they read that time does not exist on Paradise. They see it as being able to experience the past and future all at once. But such are concepts of time only, which is not real on Paradise as all action is volitional. Time is a reality within space, and one does not experience anything within space on Paradise. Duration might be individually sensed by the personality, creating a relative experience of what time might be like on the Isle, but the movement of space does not impact anything in the vicinity like it does with the planetary bodies within it.

There is no measuring stick outside of space to catalog the movement of things in space, at least not in a way that is fully experiential for a Paradise Citizen. So the question is not if Paradise Citizens can experience all time at once, it is if they have nonsequential consciousness of sequential acts of volition. Do they share the omniscience of Deity, at least in relation to all acts of volition before they occur? It is doubtful. To some, it may be true that value can be obtained from such things in a matter that deems sequence irrelevant, but to a perfected human raised in space, continuing sequence is inherent in one’s conscious understanding of reality.

The lack of time does not remove one’s value of past time experience, nor does it invalidate how one sees reality. It simply means that would-be finaliters are still conscious of and can keep a close eye on sequence and (to some extent) duration, despite there being no reference point to refer to in real-time. While on Paradise, nonvolitional acts cannot be observed nor used because all variables related to the inanimate are absolute in nature. They do not change, and thus have no events to be recorded in conjunction with one’s sense of duration, nor set a standard for measuring said duration. Hence, no objective time can be stated on Paradise, and it is hard (if not impossible) to use time measurements of space as a reference point because Paradise itself is the absolute reference point of the time-space universe. All derivations from such would be relative and non-serviceable in a realm of absolutes.

Time within space does not usually matter at all on Paradise, so it need not be measured or even thought about unless (for instance) one were to have a time-dependent mission requiring a temporary stay on the Isle. However, these are rare circumstances, and do not represent what is common. On Paradise, one values not the willed movement of impersonal things, but the will of personal beings and all subsequent personal activities derived from such sources. Since the impersonal motions of time-space realty has no direct impact on a being on Paradise, all that can affect such a being is either himself/herself or the will of another. All that can be experienced (in relation to others) is direct volitional action, or acts of personal willpower. It is a qualitative element that is devoid of the quantitative variables so often perceived in the time-space realms.
