Illusion of Time
Opposite actions simultaneously void each other.
This is a still universe of the Light o knowing. In it is no activity.
But what about our senses? Our senses tell us otherwise. Our senses are inadequate. They deceive us mightily. And that is good. Else the play of Creation could not be played. The senses record but little of the whole. If the senses could but see the whole there would be no play. The senses record motion alone for the senses themselves are but motion. Motion is an illusion which only seems. It has no being.
The senses do not know, but man believes that his senses do know and in that belief lies mans confusion.
The senses, being but motion, sense moving thins and moving light mirrored as moving things. They sense the forward movement of an airplane piling up compression ahead of it but they do not record the mirrored invisible counterpart of that plane equal to it in potential and speed moving backward into a vacuum behind the plane which simultaneously voids the compression ahead of it.
This inadequacy of the senses to record the backward flow of forward moving things causes the illusions of sequence and of time.
In the figure this principle, diagrammed by arrows extending two ways from every element in the whole known series, indicates that integration is simultaneously balanced by disintegration. No time interval elapses between the debiting of any credit extended to opposites in Nature
