the human being ... a conceptual emptiness

[Guest guest]

.... You're denying any idea of a future event or a past event. What you're

saying is, just consider the present. Whatever happens in the present, that's

what happens.

 

Yes, indeed. In other words, what we think horizontally as something happening

in the course of time is precisely something happening in each present moment.

Not just what you are doing, but all over the world at any present moment.

Whatever is happening through the billions of body-mind mechanisms is precisely

what the functioning of Totality is at that time, including all the good deeds,

including all the evil deeds, including the earthquakes and the floods, the

wars, the battles, everything.

 

So, that way you can do away with the whole concept of time.

 

Which I believe is precisely what science is coming to. At one of the talks

there was a mathematician, and he said that ultimately Einstein came to the

conclusion that space and time do not exist. Don't take my word for it, or any

other mystic. This mathematician has gone into that matter about Einstein very

deeply and he said ultimately Einstein had to come to the conclusion that this

space-time is not real, that space-time is only a concept, a conceptual

mechanism necessary for this manifestation to take place, for three dimensional

objects to be projected in space and perceived in time.

If space-time is conceptual, and space-time is a necessary mechanism, what does

it make of manifestation, but also a concept? And therefore the human being as

part of that manifestation is also a conceptual emptiness. ...
