We perceive time by analysis. Time is not linear.

I think it is significant that that Urantia Book includes hints explaining a unified field of time and space. It is important that we analyze (measure) the stream of temporal events that is atomic creation, what I call atomic time.

toto - concerning my opinion of Jim George's posts here:

1. I have always found Jim to epitomize sincerity and do not doubt his motives or intentions here at TB.

2. I have always found Jim quite a scholar of the text with a knowledge and understanding of content that is impressive.

3. I have always found Jim to support personal spiritual development, progress, and a personal relationship with God for himself and for any and all others.

4. I have always found Jim to be a tireless servant for kingdom building....as well as fence mender and bridge builder.

This has now been true for over 5 years and many topics and conversations!

There are a couple of issues that, over time, have developed as areas of misunderstanding and/or disagreement. I've previously posted my opinions on those issues where our perspectives diverge.

Mostly this pertains to a peculiar ability presumed by Jim (and others here) to ascertain the spirit/soul standing of others combined with a presumption of knowing what others should be doing. My opinion is that no one knows another's circle progress or position OR their closeness to God OR their work in love and service and that, likewise, no one has any business telling any others what they should be doing or not doing in loving service.

The newest of those issues of concern for me is the prediction of some impending event...and how one even comes to believe oneself capable of such predictions or knowledge. And then there is the "whole new version of human" co-prediction.

But that discussion is between Jim and I. Or you and he or you and I if you decide to comment on such claims within the frame of the topic and discussion. Or you can just keep dogging me and attacking me on every post...as you wish.

It's the other way around gray. The planetary government and the revelators are in charge; not presidents. They always have been and always will be...Wanna go surfing?

12:5.1 The totality of space respiration destroys its local value as a time source.

This suggests to me that the motion of atomic clocks is a local time source that is destroyed by the totality of space respiration. This I presume because space is in motion also.

Only when viewed from the totality of space. There is just to much difference in the scales.

The Authors are pretty specific on this, you know, reaching waaaaay back to that grand and awful moment then Havona sprang into existence and the energies of the Master (and Grand) universes were set loose. Before that eternity moment, I wonder, was there no time, no space???... pretty cool eh?

I have to admit that I could become more effective at eschewing the truths of the urantia book. You are right that we can blame the media but this is my own failing.
