LAW OF THREE (43) Time-Space-Eternity (2)

LAW OF THREE (43)

TIME-SPACE-ETERNITY (2)

" I am Absolute, I am timeless, infinite, and I am awareness, without being aware of awareness... Unless there is space and duration I cannot be conscious of myself." Nisargadatta Maharaj

Humanity suffers from a chronic case of mistaken identity referred to as the False Self, the Finite Self, the Ego-memory, the Personality, etc., all of which are inhabitants of the dual world of time and space

This temporal identity does not obscure completely the dimension of that Self which is present beyond time and space. The spiritual way could be described as the path which leads from a transient self  to the transcendental Self, or the journey from time to eternity.    

The transient identity of the ego is relativised  with the awareness of the presence of a third dimension of time (eternity) 

"The spiritual experience that we may call "mystical" does not put us in touch with a third world, but let us experience the third dimension of the one and the same world, opening us up to a more real union with reality" Raimon Panikkar, The Rhythm of Being, The Unbroken Trinity.

We identify ourselves with the transient and the finite. We derive our identity from the changing or the world of time and space, the next step consists on the awareness of the underlying presence of the third dimension of the one and the same world would open us up to a more real perception of reality.
