32:5.3 As regards an [[individual]] life, the duration of a realm, or the [[chronology]] of any [[connected]] [[series]] of [[events]], it would seem that we are dealing with an [[isolated]] stretch of [[time]]; [[everything]] seems to have a beginning and an end. And it would [[appear]] that a [[series]] of such [[experiences]], lives, ages, or [[epochs]], when [[successively]] arranged, [[constitutes]] a straightaway drive, an [[isolated]] [[event]] of [[time]] flashing momentarily across the [[infinite]] face of [[eternity]]. But when we look at all this from behind the scenes, a more [[Encompassing|comprehensive]] [[view]] and a more complete [[understanding]] suggest that such an explanation is inadequate, disconnected, and wholly unsuited properly to account for, and otherwise to correlate, the [[transactions]] of [[time]] with the underlying [[purposes]] and basic [[reactions]] of [[eternity]].

32:5.4 To me it seems more fitting, for [[purposes]] of [[explanation]] to the [[mortal]] [[mind]], to [[conceive]] of [[eternity]] as a [[cycle]] and the eternal [[purpose]] as an endless [[circle]], a [[cycle]] of [[eternity]] in some way [[synchronized]] with the transient [[material]] cycles of [[time]]. As regards the [[Fraction|sectors]] of time [[connected]] with, and forming a part of, the [[cycle]] of [[eternity]], we are [[forced]] to [[recognize]] that such temporary [[epochs]] are born, live, and die just as the temporary [[beings]] of [[time]] are born, live, and die.

32:5.5 The sectors of [[time]] are like the flashes of [[personality]] in [[temporal]] [[form]]; they appear for a season, and then they are lost to [[human]] [[sight]], only to reappear as new actors and continuing [[factors]] in the higher life of the endless swing around the [[eternal]] [[circle]]. Eternity can hardly be [[conceived]] as a straightaway drive, in view of our [[belief]] in a delimited [[universe]] moving over a vast, [[Ellipse|elongated circle]] around the [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11_-_The_Eternal_Isle_of_Paradise#11:1._THE_DIVINE_RESIDENCE central dwelling place] of the [[Universal Father]].

32:5.8 The goal of [[eternity]] is ahead! The [[adventure]] of [[divinity]] [[attainment]] lies before you! The race for [[perfection]] is on! whosoever will may enter, and certain victory will crown the efforts of every [[human being]] who will run the race of [[faith]] and [[trust]], depending every step of the way on the leading of the [[indwelling Adjuster]] and on the [[guidance]] of that [[good]] [[Spirit of Truth|spirit of the Universe Son]], which so freely has been poured out upon all [[flesh]].
