For us, human beings, everything we experience is necessarily in time — for we have, by God's decision, been manifested into a divinely created reality that has spatial and temporal — "this world" — dimensions, manifesting in the famous 4D block of Newtonian observation

well put -- I think it's also nearly impossible for us to comprehend such a world without time, at least it is for me!

Me too, Cronos! Our minds are wired for temporal experience, it seems. And yet as the poet T.S. Eliot has said, "Man lives at the intersection of time and timelessness." I understand this to mean: Our bodies move in time; but our souls move in timelessness. For God IS eternally — i.e., in timelessness; and He draws our souls to Himself.

The above probably doesn't explain much; but it's the best I can do. Even physicists complain that our notions of time are beginning to limit further progress in their field. One time dimension does not seem to be enough.

Thanks so much for writing, Cronos!
