CHAPTER SEVEN

SPECIAL SCIENCES

CONCEPTS IN TIME

Here we want to take up and discuss the apparent conflicts between predictions of visionaries [like Jesus, e.g.] and the modern complete sciences dealing with temporal theory.

From the distillations of essentially all ancient writings and religions and mystical societies we have the concept of a limited duration Universe that we live in. The standard cycles are fourages preceded and followed by a creation phase and a dissolution phase. These cycles repeat.

There was a point where there was no physical Universe. At that point, would it make any sense to say, "The physical universe is not created yet, but we plan to create it next week forsure."

The term "next week" has no meaning. We are outside of time here. Time is a property of the physical Universe. It is not yet created. "Next week" means nothing at all.

Now consider that the physical Universe exists. We say, again from the same perspective as before outside of time, "The physical Universe exists, but it won't last much longer and will bedissolved 'soon'".

The "soon" has the same meaning as "next week" - no meaning at all because it is an observation from outside of time.

Consequently, when great Mystics, Teachers, Prophets, and the like receive revelations from outside of time, they have some prediction of impending doom that will come "soon".

All Mystics are in general agreement that the physical Universe does not last for an indefinite period and that it is not a permanent place. Is it a big lie when - across the ages - respectedteachers constantly say that the Universe will end "soon". Well, not really - in fact, from their point of view it is absolutely correct.
