Priceless Precepts – by Kamala - Ed Sharrow

may be going 10 miles per hour, or 100, yet we will still feel as if bothcars are standing still because we do not see any change, anymovement, next to us. Then, when looking out of the train window, ifwe see an automobile on the road outside that passes the train, we feelthat we are moving very slowly, and if we pass a car in a flash, we feelthat we are moving at a higher speed.These illustrations show how our Senses can confuse us, eventhough we must heed them in our daily 3-dimensional world.However, to go beyond this limited sphere of the 5 senses whichreaffirms Time and Space, we should understand their limitations andtheir inability to open the door for spiritual perception.TIME-SENSE is associated with MOTION.The movement of the Sun divides our day and night for us intoTime. Movement and change in outer matter, and within our bodies,tell us of the passing of Time from childhood onward. The changingseasons tell us of the passing of Time. Any Change affirms a Timeinterval.Growth or decay indicate shorter or longer periods. The onlypossible way we can conceive of Time is through Motion. STOP MOTIONand ALL TIME CONCEPT CEASES.Imagine everything on earth suspended at this second – allmovement stopped – the way children play “statue” and remainmotionless. If also our thoughts are still, we will have no conceptionwhether one year or a hundred years pass.This is why the Yogi seeks stillness in mind and breath; becauseonly then can he PENETRATE the BARRIER of TIME and experienceEternity.Paramhansaji likened Time to a restrictive net, and said in deepmeditation he “fled the NET OF TIME.”When we consider SPACE we find it appears to be illusivelydivisible. We measure space by the distance between things. Whethermountains are dividing a continent; or oceans dividing othercontinents; or objects on a table before us, we DIVIDE SPACE byDISTANCE BETWEEN OBJECTS or between ourselves and other 3-dimensional form. We count this space in inches or miles, or far ornear. We think of Europe as farther away than our own downtownshopping Center. It is this way in human consciousness, but not in Godconsciousness.In order to see IN SPIRIT we must learn to see God's way.46
