In the book, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSacred Dimensions of Time and Space<\/em>,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Rinpoche employs a kind of metaphor for a geometry of space, to illustrate how the unformulated assumes form. Where this might happen is at the edge of the future, where the future could be said to come into being\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 During the first micro-seconds of perception, before a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcself\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 has taken a subjective position as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 separate from the object it is perceiving. Perhaps during this micro-flash instant of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfirst impressions<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 that human sensing apparatus encompasses \u00e2\u20ac\u201c there is a whole, at the beginning of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcreadout<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. After which, in milli-second flashes mind does its \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccognize, identify, and re-cognize\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 sequence on its way to making experience meaningful through labels and interpretations. So at the very beginning of perceptions where zero begins formulating to 16\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a something arises from the unknown future\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Between simultaneous <\/strong>and linear <\/strong>a contradiction operates. Perhaps this is a clue that our point of view does not yet have a wide enough angle. What if all times were connected together? What if time could move in all directions? Where might we discover the inner dynamics, the interconnections, and the transmission points in time? Suppose there is another time inside <\/strong>the time we know, a fourth dimension of time. If we could enter that time, would the mechanisms of time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s magical abilities be differently illuminated?<\/em><\/p>\n

Mechanism of Precision<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine that each point in time requires 16 transition points to reach completion.<\/strong> If the stages are not clear and distinct, precise connections could likely not be made. Without specificity, the event or object would not take form or else would not take form completely. Its development or manifestation would be stalled.<\/em><\/p>\n

If time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dimensions did not reach the 16th degree, time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s power would likewise remain diffuse, its momentum not focused and directed. Time would be unable to inspire, but could only push or drag. Depending on all the interconnections, it might move slowly or rapidly, smoothly or erratically, but it would not bring forth a clear form.<\/em><\/p>\n

In contrast, once the full complement of the 16th degree has been reached, a transition can be made. If we see in terms of sequences<\/strong>, we might suppose another set of 16 begins to develop, a new series of possibilities not possible before the transition. If we do not see in terms of sequences<\/strong>, we might imagine 16s everywhere, all the time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dynamic of Boundlessness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us call \u00e2\u20ac\u02dczero\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 being, or let us call it space, time, and knowledge. Zero is the starting point:<\/strong> any point of space, time, and knowledge. If zero expands to 16, every 16 is zero and every zero is 16. Accordingly, 16 implies specificity, but also boundlessness, the perfectly fulfilled four times four, wide open in every direction<\/strong>. As an image for this open fulfillment, imagine a sphere with a mirrored surface cut into millions of facets, reflecting light in all directions simultaneously<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a616 allows for transition. 16 is a gateway through which space and time appear. But the transition of 16 may or may not appear. Zero may re-main zero, or may manifest as particles and qualities\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d p126-7<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
