“Does each earlier moment already encompass within it the potential for all succeeding moments of time?” (LOK 122)
 This invokes for me the more local issue of how a single cell can contain all that is needed for the evolution of a human being, including his/her ability to initiate a chain of descendants into the indefinite future. I have always thought of this (at least since encountering the TSK vision) as a telling sign of how “Knowledge” permeates our world. But perhaps this miracle could as legitimately be ascribed to “Time”. The “Zero” point of the moment of inception of an individual life (as with the first instant of time), asks the question: how can Space open a doorway to the whole future if time is a series of separate moments? How can these kind of openings into the whole of what awaits us not be evidence of a narrow perspective being taken on something more integrated, more of one whole piece? So is linear time something that has no meaning unless you are trapped inside the illusions it promulgates? Like a house of mirrors that disappears if you find the door to the outside? In that case, the first moment of time may be like one of the mirrors that can only reflect the images bouncing back and forth inside, and have no real relationship with what we could see if we find the door outside?
