11:2.7 It appears to us that the First Source and Center has concentrated all [[absolute]] [[potential]] for [[cosmic]] [[reality]] in Paradise as a part of his [[technique]] of self-[[liberation]] from [[infinity]] [[limitations]], as a means of making possible subinfinite, even [[time-space]], [[creation]]. But it does not follow that Paradise is time-space limited just because the [[universe of universes]] discloses these qualities. Paradise exists without [[time]] and has no location in [[space]].

11:2.8 Roughly: space seemingly originates just below nether Paradise; time just above upper Paradise. <u>Time, as you [[understand]] it, is not a feature of Paradise [[existence]], though the [[citizens]] of the central Isle are fully conscious of nontime [[sequence]] of [[events]]. [[Motion]] is not inherent on Paradise; it is [[volition]]al.</u> But the concept of distance, even absolute distance, has very much [[meaning]] as it may be applied to [[relative]] locations on Paradise. Paradise is nonspatial; hence its areas are absolute and therefore serviceable in many ways beyond the [[concept]] of [[mortal]] [[mind]].
