− | Preamble: You once said: "In the [[spaces]] between [[moments]] of [[time]] exists [[spirit]] and spirit [[connections]]." A little later: “As to the spiritual [[pressure]] that is being applied to [[Urantia]], it is correct to [[visualize]] a blanket [[action]] with the [[spirit]] [[pressure]] being drawn more tightly and pressed deeply into the [[planet]] itself.” | + | Preamble: You once said: "In the [[space]]s between [[moments]] of [[time]] exists [[spirit]] and spirit [[connections]]."

| Question #9: I really enjoy the [[poetic]] [[statement]] you provide us about where [[spirit]] exists in [[time]], but I do not [[comprehend]] how spirit finds [[space]] between [[moments]] when time to us [[flows]] in one [[continuum]]. Is it the case of the [[eternal]] [[now]] being present in the [[flow]] of [[time]]? | | Question #9: I really enjoy the [[poetic]] [[statement]] you provide us about where [[spirit]] exists in [[time]], but I do not [[comprehend]] how spirit finds [[space]] between [[moments]] when time to us [[flows]] in one [[continuum]].

| Monjoronson: It will be [[difficult]] to address this question for [[spirit]] does not exist in [[time]], and that is why the comment was made that [[spirit]] [[functions]] between [[moments]] of [[time]]. You do [[perceive]] time as a [[Motion|movement]], a train of [[successive]] moments. [[Spiritual]] [[pressure]] is an attempt to bring spiritual [[reality]] into the time frame of human living. | | Monjoronson: It will be [[difficult]] to address this question for [[spirit]] does not exist in [[time]], and that is why the comment was made that [[spirit]] [[functions]] between [[moments]] of [[time]].

− | If I may I will use your [[physics]] and its [[understanding]] of [[pressure]], [[volume]], and [[temperature]]. If you look at volume as [[time]], [[spiritual]] [[pressure]] will [[change]] the [[orientation]] of the [[mind]] in [[time]]. If we increase the [[pressure]], we can shorten the [[time]], that is if the [[temperature]] is [[constant]]. But we are looking to increase the [[temperature]] on this world, to fire it up and [[stimulate]] its [[growth]]. If you are going to be fixed in your [[perception]] of [[time]], our [[pressure]] will get stronger to increase the temperature. If you can expand your [[comprehension]] of [[time]], you increase your volume of [[awareness]]. We do not need to add so much to our pressure, for you are doing the [[work]], and the temperature heats up. | + | If I may I will use your [[physics]] and its [[understanding]] of [[pressure]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume volume], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature temperature].

| You have [[referenced]] the [[eternal]] [[now]]. Since [[spirit]] exists between the [[moments]] of [[time]], if your [[perception]] of [[time]] is of all time, not [[linear]]ly oriented from [[past]] to [[future]], but all at once, then you increase the size of your [[moment]] from [[instantaneous]] to [[eternal]]. Then the beginning and the end become one and the each and every becomes all.
