If it sees all events concurrently would that be meaningful? Wouldn't that be the same as nothing happening at all?

That would surely seem to be the case with a finite observer located within the fabric of space and time. A finite mind by its own resources probably would never be able to make any sense of an observation of completely simultaneous totality. (But then, show me a human observer who has ever had such an experience. There have been a few in human history; but they are very few and far in between indeed. In the past, they were called prophets and saints.)

Yet to an infinite Mind, this would pose no difficulty whatsoever.

Le Grande’s notion may be a good definition of Hell, where the individual soul has zero reference beyond itself for anything, yet is aware ‘it is’. God was described as the unmoved mover, the uncaused cause, etc. yet there is now something moving and something He has created, caused, so He is by defintion the antithesis of that ‘nothing happening at all’ Hell.
