When I wrote that "evolution is a fait accompli" from the absolute perspective, I was not referring specifically to biological or social history on this planet, but to cosmic intention, process, and entelechy in general. There is no time without change, just as there is no locus without finitude. Absolute Essence is both "spaceless" and "timeless" because it is without dimension, change, or differentiation of any kind. Creation (actualization) only appears to be a sequence of events because of our serialized, "incremental" mode of experience. Space/time, like being/nothing, beginning/end, large/small, good/bad, pleasure/pain, male/female, birth/death, is a manifestation of the existential dichotomy, which I have defined as subjective awareness versus objective beingness. In other words, everything in existence is characterized by difference and contrariety. The primary difference is actualized by the negation of "oneness". This introduces nothingness as the difference between self and other which, of course, is S/O reality. Is my answer acceptable...or, at least, understandable?. --Ham Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
