118:9.1 [[Time and space]] are a conjoined [[mechanism]] of the [[master universe]]. They are the devices whereby [[finite]] [[creatures]] are enabled to coexist in the [[cosmos]] with the [[Infinite]]. [[Finite]] [[creatures]] are effectively [[insulated]] from the [[absolute]] [[levels]] by [[time and space]]. But these insulating [[media]], without which no [[mortal]] could exist, operate directly to [[limit]] the range of [[finite]] [[action]]. Without them no [[creature]] could [[act]], but by them the acts of every creature are definitely [[limited]].
