mind intuitively perceives it. “Time” is a relative term used by man because
of his inability to grasp the absolute truth. Man is never able to grasp a
moment of time, for before the mind can fasten upon it it has passed into
the past. Time is relative and the greatest period of time that the human
mind is capable of imagining or thinking about, when compared to Eternity
or Absolute Time, is but as a strand of spider-web when stretched before
the lens of a telescope the field of which embraces Infinite Space—in fact
the spider-web would have to be reduced an infinity of infinity of degrees,
before it would begin to answer for the purpose of comparison. An aeon
of countless millions of years, when compared with Eternity, or Absolute
Time, comes so near being absolutely (?) nothing, that only the Absolute
Mind could distinguish it. Advanced minds in their teachings inform us that
they often lose their sense of relative time entirely, in their consideration
of Eternity or Absolute Time, and a million years seem as but a moment, in
the thought. The same thing happens when the advanced mind explores
the mental regions pertaining to Space—the relative is lost in the Absolute,
and relative Space melts into Infinity. Time and Space are relative terms,
belonging to the finite mind of Man of today—when the Absolute thinks, it
thinks in terms of Infinity and Eternity—its own terms. From the Absolute (even
our puny intellect can grasp this) everywhere is Here—every time is Now.
Ninth. The Absolute is indivisible. The Absolute is the All—the Whole
Thing. It cannot be divided into parts, because there is nothing to divide
it—nothing to divide it with—and nothing to “fill in the cracks.” There can
be no real partition, division, or separation of the Absolute. It always has
been the Whole—always will be the Whole—is the Whole now. It is an
Ultimate thing—not capable of being separated, divided, or parted. The
mind is incapable of conceiving of the Absolute as being broken into bits;
separated; divided, etc., for the reasons given above. The mind refuses
to form the picture, and is forced to acknowledge the truth of the above
statement. It is true that in our finite conception of things we may use the
relative terms: “part of,” or “portion of” the Whole Thing, or Absolute,
