130:7.3 At [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage Carthage] [[Jesus]] had a long and memorable talk with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism Mithraic priest] about [[immortality]], about [[time]] and [[eternity]]. This [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persia Persian] had been educated at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria Alexandria], and he really [[desired]] to learn from [[Jesus]]. Put into the [[words]] of today, in substance [[Jesus]] said in answer to his many questions:

130:7.4 [[Time]] is the [[stream]] of [[flowing]] [[temporal]] [[events]] [[perceived]] by [[creature]] [[consciousness]]. Time is a [[name]] given to the [[succession]]-arrangement whereby [[events]] are [[recognized]] and [[segregated]]. The [[universe]] of [[space]] is a time-related [[phenomenon]] as it is viewed from any interior position outside of the fixed abode of [[Paradise]]. The [[motion]] of [[time]] is only [[revealed]] in [[relation]] to something which does not move in [[space]] as a [[time]] [[phenomenon]]. In the [[universe of universes]] [[Paradise]] and its [[Deities]] [[transcend]] both [[time and space]]. On the [[inhabited worlds]], [[human]] [[personality]] (indwelt and [[oriented]] by the [[Paradise Father]]'s [[Thought Adjuster|spirit]]) is the only [[physically]] related [[reality]] which can [[transcend]] the [[material]] [[sequence]] of [[temporal]] [[events]].

130:7.5 [[Animals]] do not [[sense]] time as does man, and even to man, because of his sectional and [[circumscribed]] view, time appears as a [[succession]] of [[events]]; but as man [[ascends]], as he [[progresses]] inward, the enlarging view of this [[event]] [[procession]] is such that it is discerned more and more in its [[wholeness]]. That which formerly appeared as a [[succession]] of events then will be viewed as a [[whole]] and perfectly related [[cycle]]; in this way will [[circular]] [[simultaneity]] increasingly displace the onetime [[consciousness]] of the [[linear]] [[sequence]] of [[events]].
