In the Hebrew calendar, a moment (''rega'') is 1/76 of a part (''chelek''), or 5/114 of a second in standard units. When measuring the length of a year in the Hebrew calendar, the number of ''regaim'' is a whole number, and divisible by 4 (so that the year can be divided into 4 seasons) [http://www.sym454.org/hebrew/chelek.htm Why Divide Hours into 1080 Parts?]

Patience is exercised by those mortals whose [[time]] units are short; true maturity transcends patience by a forbearance born of real understanding. To become mature is to live more intensely in the present, at the same time escaping from the limitations of the present. The plans of maturity, founded on past [[experience]], are coming into [[being]] in the present in such [[manner]] as to enhance the [[values]] of the future.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper118.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper118.html&line=53#mfs]
