The idea of one existance which overreaches all of Creation, as opposed to the relative time which we are forced to live in has intrigued me for years. I particularly liked your example of moving through space, and never, ever being in the same spot again. Rather like a Great Dance to me. I like to think on these things as to how they would affect inter-stellar travel and communication. Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>Margaret,<BR/><BR/>I have never read ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND.

That must be one aspect of our being co-creators with the Creator, as Tolkien said we are.<BR/><BR/>One of Terry Pratchett's YA novels, ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND, focuses on a boy playing what he thinks is an ordinary video game, but he discovers that on a higher plane of reality he is actually destroying the ships of real aliens (who don't deserve to be killed, and they turn out to be the "mankind" he has to save).Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.com
