Time Is Relative: A Thousand Lives but a Moment, from a different perspective
A work of a thousand lives—a sequence of almost infinite, yet finitely distinct, parallel reality snapshots, understandings, and experiences, everything it takes to get there: the sweat and tears, the joy, everything—is still but a single flash or moment of knowing or self-experiencing; a relative second from a different point of view within an IRD web or structure, as a collection of all of them in its knowing or perspective simultaneously—within an eternalistic panpsychist moment that is both One and Many, and as that many, experiences itself as these different configurations or focuses in relation to each other and as the whole, being and knowing itself simultaneously.
We have seen this reflected in many instances—the life review or near-death experience—where an entire lifetime flashes before one’s eyes or is known in a single instant. Time is relative: ninety years, a lifetime, is but a moment—always—(though it can have the experience of being and going slow), and is also experienced as such from another perspective of the Self that it is and you/we are.
And even then, that moment or perspective is itself encompassed by another—one that, in encompassing it, also holds within itself an infinite multiplicity more of a relative-kind: a grander scheme or encompassing of all, of everything, as the simple self-knowing of Self that (it) is—just being itself, its own nature, that we are—from yet another point of view or level of being/self.
Of course, in the other direction we find the same occurrence—an ever-increasingly narrowed-down perspective, omitting the periphery or more of the whole within itself, while paradoxically still being itself, the whole. This briefly described spectrum, along with others, is infinite or never-ending in both directions, comprising one facet of the whole upon which it can define or configure itself, that together with all others, constitutes the inherent entirety of being. I refer to these as the modulations of existence—each representing a spectrum or variable, and all of these upon which existence can, or does, modulate itself in order to configure or reflect as a unique state or perspective of itself.
A focal point is then a relative center, with all of these lines or spectrums crossing at its centre, comprising its whole—a neutral-grid-like structure that can reflect or embody any or all perspectives within All-That-Is. It becomes a specific focus or perspective of consciousness—or is configured as such—through the taking of an exact point across all these spectrum variables, as a unique point-crossing at its center. More on this will be explored in my upcoming paper, The Infinite Application and All-Applicability of “The One is the All and the All are the One”: A Focus Point, Focus, and Configuration of Consciousness.
